Expositor's Bible Commentary - Exodus 30:17-21

THE LAVER.Exodus 30:17-21.For the cleansing of various sacrifices, but especially for the ceremonial washing of the priests, a laver of brass was to be made, and placed upon a separate base, the more easily to be emptied and replenished.We have seen already that although its actual use preceded that of the altar, yet the other stood in front of it, as if to assert, to the very eyes of all men, that sacrifice precedes purification. But the use of the laver was not by the man as man, but by the... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Exodus 30:1-38

CHAPTER 30 The Altar of Incense and the Worshippers 1. The altar (Exodus 30:1-10 ) 2. The atonement money (Exodus 30:11-16 ) 3. The brazen laver and the unction of the Spirit (Exodus 30:22-33 ) 4. The incense (Exodus 30:34-38 ) This is a beautiful chapter, filled with blessed lessons. We have before us instructions concerning true, priestly worship. The brazen altar was of shittim wood, but this altar is of shittim wood covered with pure gold. The altar of brass tells of the work of... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 30:1-38

THE GOLDEN ALTAR OF INCENSE (vs.1-10) Before this chapter the Lord has given instructions concerning the tabernacle, its court and all the furniture both outside and inside, except the altar of incense and the laver. Two full chapters intervene before these are considered. The reason for this may be that, as regards the altar of incense, true worship (of which it speaks) comes after the sacrifices being made and the priests consecrated (that is, believers put in their place as priests). As... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Exodus 30:1-38

OF BLUEPRINTS AND BEZALEL THE ALTAR OF INCENSE (Exodus 30:1-10 ) Of what material and for what purpose was it made (Exodus 30:1 )? Its size and shape (Exodus 30:2 )? Its furnishings (Exodus 30:3 )? The means for its removal (Exodus 30:4-5 )? Its location (Exodus 30:6 )? How often and at what time was the incense to be offered (Exodus 30:7-8 )? What prohibition was placed on its use (Exodus 30:9 )? How does Exodus 30:10 bear on “the iniquity of the holy things”? Although no sacrifice was... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Exodus 30:1-38

The Priest and His Consecration Exodus 29-30 We now study the consecration of the priest himself. Strange if God has constructed a tabernacle, given a specification for an ark, detailed the shape and colour of the priestly robes, and omitted to say anything about the priest himself. Let us see how the case stands both historically and spiritually. We have already seen that the priest did not officially appoint himself; in no sense did he rush into the priest's office; nay, more, at the very... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Exodus 30:16-21

Reader! while those verses serve to teach us how clean the feet and hands of those ought to be who stand to minister before the Lord, think, and think with holy joy, what our privileges are who have a fountain always open for sin and for uncleanness. Zechariah 13:1 . Lord grant that I may wash in it, and be clean. James 4:8 . David perhaps had an eye to this cleansing when he penned Psalms 26:6 . read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Exodus 30:18

Its foot also of brass, made of mirrors which the women gave, chap. xxxviii. 8. It was double; one vessel being shallower, to wash the feet &c., and the other containing a quantity of water, which was let out by pipes. The pagans had lavers also; and our holy-water vessels should remind us of that purity and holiness which became the house of God. (Haydock) read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 30:17-21

17-21 A large vessel of brass, holding water, was to be set near the door of the tabernacle. Aaron and his sons must wash their hands and feet at this laver, every time they went in to minister. This was to teach them purity in all their services, and to dread the pollution of sin. They must not only wash and be made clean, when first made priests, but must wash and be kept clean, whenever they went to minister. It teaches us daily to attend upon God, daily to renew our repentance for sin, and... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Exodus 30:17-21

The Laver v. 17. And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, v. 18. Thou shalt also make a laver of brass, of copper or one of its chief alloys, and his foot also of brass, to wash withal; and thou shalt put it between the Tabernacle of the Congregation and the altar, between the altar of burnt offerings in the court and the entrance to the Holy Place, and thou shalt put water therein. For this laver, or great wash-basin, the Israelitish women brought their metal mirrors, Exodus 38:8, glad to... read more
