Hebrews 9:21 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry.

The sprinkling of the tabernacle with blood is added by inspiration; Exodus 30:25-30; Exodus 40:9-10, mentions only Moses' anointing the tabernacle and its vessels. Leviticus 8:10; Leviticus 8:15; Leviticus 8:30 mentions sprinkling of blood upon Aaron and His garments, upon his sons, and upon the altar, as well as the anointing; so we may infer, as Josephus has stated, that the tabernacle and its vessels were sprinkled with blood as well as anointed. Leviticus 17:16,19-20,33 favours this. The tabernacle and its contents needed atonement (2 Chronicles 29:21).
