Chap. 25. &c. tabernacle] We read that God commanded the Altar and all the vessels to be anointed with oyle by Moses, Exod. 74. 8, &c. and accordingly they were anointed by him, Leviticus 8:10. but we no where read expressely, as some are of opinion, that he either was commanded, or did sprinkle the Tabernacle and the furniture thereof with blood: It is supposed therefore by some, that Saint Paul gathered thus much from Exodus 29:12. Lev. 8. 15. & 16. 14. where there is mention made of sprinkling with blood the Altar and Mercy-seat, &c. where by the principall part we may understand the whole Tabernacle and all the furniture thereof. Or it may be thus much is plainly expressed, Leviticus 16:16. Josephus reports, lib. 3. Antiq. Hebr. c. 9. that the whole Tabernacle was sprinkled.
