11, 12. For just as "the bodies of those beasts whose blood is
brought into the sanctuary by . . . are burned without the
camp," so "Jesus also that . . . suffered without the gate"
of ceremonial Judaism, of which His crucifixion outside the gate of
Jerusalem is a type.
for--reason why they who serve the tabernacle, are excluded from
share in Christ; because His sacrifice is not like one of those
sacrifices in which they had a share but answers to one which was
"wholly burned" outside (the Greek is "burnt completely,"
"consumed by burning"), and which consequently they could not eat of.
Le 6:30,
gives the general rule, "No sin offering whereof any of the blood is
brought into the tabernacle of the congregation to reconcile withal in
the holy place, shall be eaten; it shall be burnt in the fire." The sin
offerings are twofold: the outward, whose blood was sprinkled on
the outward altar, and of whose bodies the priests might eat; and the
inward, the reverse.
the sanctuary--here the Holy of Holies, into which the
blood of the sin offering was brought on the day of atonement.
without the camp--in which were the tabernacle and Levitical
priests and legal worshippers, during Israel's journey through the
wilderness; replaced afterwards by Jerusalem (containing the temple),
outside of whose wallsJesus was crucified.
