Números 16

Números 16

Clarke - “If Aaron the high priest, with his censer and incense, could disarm the wrath of an insulted, angry Deity, so that a guilty people, who deserved nothing but destruction, should be spared; how much more effectual may we expect the great atonement to be which was made by the Lord Jesus Christ, of whom Aaron was only the type! The sacrifices of living animals pointed out the death of Christ on the cross; the incense, his intercession. Through his death salvation is purchased for the world; by his intercession the offending children of men are spared.” Numbers 16:50 Then Aaron returned to Moses at the doorway of the tent of meeting, for the plague had been checked.

Nu 16:43 1Ch 21:26-30 Numbers 16 Resources - Multiple Sermons and Commentaries AARON'S ATONING WORK COMPLETED Then Aaron returned to Moses at the doorway of the tent of meeting, for the plague had been checked - One cannot help but think of the resurrected Jesus returning (ascending - Acts 1:9-11+) to the Tabernacle in Heaven, His work of redemption having been fully accomplished (Jn 19:30+ - tetelestai = "It is finished!" "Paid in full!"). Irving Jensen - One wonders what was in the hearts of the people who were spared this last dreadful plague. They knew they were not spared because of faithful hearts or repentant ones. They should have been convinced, by the timing of the cessation of the sudden death plague with the atonement offering, that what saved them was the quick action of Moses and the faithful intercession by the high priest of God through an offering of the sanctuary. The very ones whom they called murderers had proved to be their “saviors.” No better approbation by God of His leaders could have been manifested to the people. (EvBC-Nu)
