shall beare their names] This was a resemblance of Christ our High-priest, representing his Church to God his Father. upon his two shoulders] The Priest was to beare the people on his shoulders, by a patient bearing of their weakenesse, and waywardnesse, as well as to weare them on his breast, vers. 15. by pastorall affection. for a memoriall] Not to the people to remember the goodnesse of the Patriarchs, who were many of them more noted for great faults, then for vertues; much lesse may we thinke them to be as an helpe of memory to God; who neither can be ignorant, nor forgetfull of any thing: but chiefly this memoriall was to Aaron to remember the people by intercession for them: and withall to signifie that their memory is presented to God, and preserved with God. See Annot. on Genesis 9:15.
