Exodus 29:4 - Scofield Reference Notes

Bible Comments

Aaron

shares in the washing (i.e, symbol of regeneration), (Titus 3:5); (John 3:5); (John 3:6).

(1) as needing it, be in this in contrast with Christ (Hebrews 7:26-28).

(2) to typify Christ's action, who received the baptism of John, not as needing it, but as thus identifying Himself with sinners, and as fulfilling the Aaronic type. As in Aaron's case, His anointing followed the washing (Exodus 29:4); (Exodus 29:7); (Matthew 3:14-16).

wash

distinguish the washing from the use of the laver. (Exodus 30:18-21)

This washing typifies regeneration;

(Titus 3:5)

the laver, daily cleansing;

(1 John 1:9)

See both (John 13:10).

Exodus 29:4

4 And Aaron and his sons thou shalt bring unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and shalt wash them with water.
