SEV Biblia, Chapter 8:12
Y derramó del aceite de la unción sobre la cabeza de Aarón, y lo ungió para santificarlo.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 12. And he poured of the anointing oil upon Aaron’s head , etc.] Which ran down to his beard, and to the collar of his coat, the robe of the ephod, but not to the skirts of his garments, as we wrongly render it, ( <19D302> Psalm 133:2). Jarchi says it was first poured on his head, and after that he put it between his eyebrows, and drew it with his finger here and there, or from one eyebrow to another: Maimonides gives a like account, with some addition; he says, the oil was poured on his head, and he was anointed between the eyebrows, in the form of the Greek letter c , “chi”: a greater profusion of oil was used in the anointing of Aaron than of the tabernacle, altar, and laver, and their vessels, he being so eminent a type of Christ, our high priest, anointed with the oil of gladness above his fellows: and anointed him to sanctify him ; to signify that he was set apart and devoted to the sacred office of the priesthood. The Targum of Jonathan observes, that this anointing was after he had clothed him; though some have thought it was done before the mitre and holy crown were put on: but if they were put on to complete the investiture, they might be taken off while the ceremony of anointing was performed.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-13 - The consecration of Aaron and his sons had been delayed until the tabernacle had been prepared, and the laws of the sacrifices given Aaron and his sons were washed with water, to signify that they ough to purify themselves from all sinful dispositions, and ever after to keep themselves pure. Christ washes those from their sins in his ow blood whom he makes kings and priests to our God, Re 1:5, 6; and thos that draw near to God must be washed in pure water, Heb 10:22. The anointing of Aaron was to typify the anointing of Christ with the Spirit, which was not given by measure to him. All believers have received the anointing.
