Ver. 9. Shall he wash.] Shadowing Christ's perfect purity Heb 7:26 and our entire sanctification. Eze 26:19 Heb 10:22

Of a sweet savour unto the Lord.] The burning and broiling of the beasts could yield no sweet savour; but thereto was added wine, oil, and incense, by God's appointment, and then there was a savour of rest in it. Our prayers, as from us, would never please; but as indited by the Spirit, and presented by Christ, they are highly accepted in heaven.
