Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach.
Therefore - breathes deliberate fortitude (Bengel).
Without the camp - `outside the legal polity' (Theodoret) of Judaism (cf. Hebrews 13:11). 'Faith considers Jerusalem as a camp, not a city.' The reason is given Hebrews 13:14 (Bengel). He contrasts with the earthly sanctuary (Hebrews 8:5), which the Jews "serve," the altar in heaven which "we have," but which Judaizers "have no right to." As Jesus suffered without the gate, so spiritually must those who belong to Him withdraw from the earthly Jerusalem and its sanctuary, as from this world in general, of which it is the representative: Hebrews 9:1, "a worldly sanctuary." We must leave all sacerdotal ritualism and sensuous worship to offer spiritual sacrifices at the spiritual altar (Christ) which we carry with us everywhere (Ezekiel 11:16, end). Referring to Exodus 33:7, when the tabernacle was moved without the camp, then polluted by the people's idolatry of the golden calves, so that "everyone which sought the Lord went out unto the tabernacle of the congregation (as Moses called it), which was without the camp:" a lively type of what the Hebrews should do-namely, come out of the carnal worship of earthly Jerusalem to worship God in Christ in spirit (2 Corinthians 5:16), since here we have "no continuing city," Hebrews 13:14.
Bearing - as Simon of Cyrene.
His reproach - that which He bare, and all His people bear with Him.
