Leviticus 16:25-28 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Bible Comments

Can anything more strikingly describe the defiling nature of sin, than what these verses represent of ceremonial uncleanness? So far we see were these sacrifices and offerings incompetent to take away sin, that the very use of them demanded further cleansing. Our most holy things are all unholy, and all require cleansing in the blood of JESUS. The apostle's arguments upon these things are final and decisive: Hebrews 10:1-4. But how satisfactory doth the same apostle add the perfect forgiveness of sins by the oblation of JESUS? Hebrews 10:14.

Leviticus 16:25-28

25 And the fat of the sin offering shall he burn upon the altar.

26 And he that let go the goat for the scapegoat shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward come into the camp.

27 And the bullock for the sin offering, and the goat for the sin offering, whose blood was brought in to make atonement in the holy place, shall one carry forth without the camp; and they shall burn in the fire their skins, and their flesh, and their dung.

28 And he that burneth them shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp.
