Leviticus 8:30

"Moses took of the anointing oil, and of the blood which was upon the altar, and sprinkled it upon Aaron, upon his garments, and upon his sons, and upon his sons' garments with him, and sanctified Aaron, his garments, and his sons, and his sons' garments with him."

The holy anointing of the High Priest and of his sons is outlined here. Aaron had already been profusely anointed with the holy oil, which was symbolical of Jesus' ultimate reception of the Holy Spirit "without measure," but now the lesser priests also were to be anointed, symbolizing the ultimate reception of the Holy Spirit, but merely in token or earnest measure. It is not surprising that Aaron too was sprinkled thus at the same time, for no Christian has any measure of God's Spirit that does not also belong to Christ. This mention of the anointing of the lesser priests here shows that they too were anointed, although not in the "measureless" anointing of Aaron.

There is also another priceless suggestion of Christ, the great High Priest, in the blood-sprinkled garments of Aaron. Here is an O.T. glimpse of the Mighty One, traveling in the greatness of his strength with the "Dyed garments from Bozrah" (Isaiah 63:1. Note "crimsoned garments" as the alternative reading). Here is the O.T. typical prophecy of him of whom the N.T. prophet declared, "And he is arrayed in a garment sprinkled with blood: and his name is called the Word of God" (Revelation 19:13).
