Levítico 8:11 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 8:11

And he sprinkled thereof upon the altar seven times
The altar of burnt offering; the order for anointing it is given in ( Exodus 30:28 ) ( 40:10 ) but in that no directions are given for the manner of doing it by sprinkling, nor the number of times it was to be sprinkled: hence Jarchi confesses his ignorance, and says,

``I know not how it was ordered about these sprinklings;''

but no doubt Moses was instructed of God in what manner to anoint it, and how often; and the number seven may denote the perfect unction of it, and made it a fitter type of Christ, who received the unction of the Spirit without measure:

and anointed the altar, and all its vessels;
pans, shovels, basins, flesh hooks, and fire pans:

both the laver and his foot;
which was for the priests to wash at; and very probably this was done before Moses brought Aaron and his sons thither and washed them, ( Leviticus 8:6 ) since it seems most proper that it should be consecrated before used, as it follows:

to sanctify them;
set them apart for sacred use.

Levítico 8:11 In-Context

9 e colocou o turbante na cabeça de Arão com a lâmina de ouro, isto é, a coroa sagrada, na frente do turbante, conforme o SENHOR tinha ordenado a Moisés.

10 Depois Moisés pegou o óleo da unção e ungiu o tabernáculo e tudo o que nele havia, e assim os consagrou.

11 Aspergiu sete vezes o óleo sobre o altar, ungindo o altar e todos os seus utensílios e a bacia com o seu suporte, para consagrá-los.

12 Derramou o óleo da unção sobre a cabeça de Arão para ungi-lo e consagrá-lo.

13 Trouxe então os filhos de Arão à frente, vestiu-os com suas túnicas e cintos e colocou-lhes gorros, conforme o SENHOR lhe havia ordenado.
