31 Then Moses said to Aaron and to his sons , " Boil the flesh at the doorway of the tent of meeting , and eat it there together with the bread which is in the basket of the ordination offering , just as I commanded , saying , 'Aaron and his sons shall eat it.' 32 " The remainder of the flesh and of the bread you shall burn in the fire . 33 " You shall not go outside the doorway of the tent of meeting for seven days , until the day that the period of your ordination is fulfilled ; for he will ordain e you through seven days . 34 "The Lord has commanded to do as has been done this day , to make atonement on your behalf . 35 "At the doorway of the tent of meeting , moreover, you shall remain day and night for seven days and keep the charge of the Lord , so that you will not die , for so I have been commanded ." 36 Thus Aaron and his sons did all the things which the Lord had commanded through Moses .

In these types we see our great High Priest, even Christ Jesus, solemnly appointed, anointed, and invested with his sacred office, by his own blood, and the influences of his Holy Spirit. He sanctifies the ordinances of religion, to the benefit of his people and the honour of God the Father; who for his sake accepts our worship, though it is polluted with sin. We may also rejoice, that he is a merciful and faithful High Priest, full of compassion to the feeble-minded and tempest-tossed soul. All true Christians are consecrated to be spiritual priests. We should seriously ask ourselves, whether in our daily walk we study to maintain this character? and abound in spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Christ? If so, still there is no cause for boasting. Let us not despise our fellow-sinners; but remembering what we have done, and how we are saved, let us seek and pray for their salvation.
