F In this manner or upon theſe terms. g ( 7. e.) with the blood of it,as it 1s explained ver. 14. So it is 'a Synecdoche, the whole put for the part. For as for the body of it,that was to be killed and of- fered without upon the Altar of burnt-ofterings. þ For his own and families ſins, for a goat was offered for the ſins of the people.

he waſh his fleſh in water, and /o put them on.
7 It is obſervable that the High-prieſt did not now uſe his peculiar and glorious robes, but only his linen garments, which were com- mon'to him with the ordinary prieſts. The reaſon whereof was, either becauſe this was not a day of feaſting and rejoycing, but of mourning and humiliation, at which times people were to lay alide their ornaments, Ezod. 33. 5, Some conceive, that under the linen garments here named are comprehended his more glorious robes alſo by a Synecdoche, Butthat dorh not appear neither from hence, nor from other places alledged. Had only his holy garments been mentioned in general, all might have been underſtood, but when only the linen apparel is mentioned here and after wer. 23. and when that is ſo particularly expreſſed in four ſeveral parts of it, and not a word of the other either here or in the reſt of the chapter,

Or becauſe it was fit he ſhould nor exalt but abaſe him- ſelf, when he wasto appear before the divine Majeſty,and therefore . _ , | he was to come in the meaneſt of his Prieſtly habits: Or that ir might be an evidence of the imperfeCticn of this Prieſthood, and of the great difference between the Levitical, and the true High- Prieſt Chriſt Jeſus, whoſe prerogative alone it is to go into the true Holy of Holies with his glorious robes, when this muſt carry thiz ther the chara&ers of his meanneſs & Becauſe appropriated to an holy and religious uſe, for which reaſon other things are called ho- ly.

9 And Aaron ſhal bring the goat upon which the LORDS lot + fell », and offer him for a ſin-offerizvg. + Heb:
