Berean Study Bible

In the same way, he sprinkled with blood the tabernacle and all the vessels used in worship
In the same way
This phrase connects the actions described in this verse to the previous verses, where the author of Hebrews discusses the purification rituals of the Old Covenant. The Greek phrase "ὁμοίως" (homoiōs) suggests a continuation or similarity in action. It emphasizes the consistency and thoroughness of the purification process, highlighting the meticulous nature of the Old Testament rituals. This connection underscores the importance of ritual purity in the worship practices of ancient Israel, as prescribed in the Mosaic Law.

he sprinkled with blood
The act of sprinkling blood is central to the purification rituals described in the Old Testament, particularly in the book of Leviticus. The Greek word "ἐράντισεν" (erantisen) is used here, which means to sprinkle or to cleanse. Blood, as a symbol of life, was used to atone for sin and to sanctify objects and people, setting them apart for God's service. This act foreshadows the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ, whose blood would provide a once-for-all atonement for sin, fulfilling and surpassing the Old Covenant rituals.

the tabernacle
The tabernacle, or "σκηνή" (skēnē) in Greek, was the portable sanctuary used by the Israelites during their wanderings in the wilderness. It was the dwelling place of God among His people and the center of Israelite worship. The tabernacle's construction and the rituals performed within it were detailed in the books of Exodus and Leviticus. Sprinkling the tabernacle with blood was a means of consecrating it, ensuring that it remained a holy place where God could dwell among His people.

and all the vessels used in worship
The vessels, or "σκεύη" (skeuē), refer to the various implements and utensils used in the tabernacle for worship and sacrifices. These included items like the altar, the lampstand, and the table for the bread of the Presence. Each of these items had specific functions and symbolic meanings, contributing to the overall worship experience. By sprinkling these vessels with blood, they were purified and set apart for sacred use, ensuring that every aspect of worship was conducted in holiness and reverence.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

(21) He sprinkled with blood.--Rather, he sprinkled in like manner with the blood. It is singular that the word rendered "in like manner" (found in the Bishops' Bible, "likewise," and in other versions) should have been overlooked in the Authorised version. The incident here mentioned belongs, of course, to a later date. It is not expressly recorded in Scripture, but is related by Josephus (Ant. iii. 8, ? 6); and, apart from internal probability, might almost be concluded from the narrative of the Pentateuch itself. In Exodus 40:9-15 we read of the divine injunction that Moses should put the anointing oil not only upon Aaron and his sons, their garments, and the altar, but also upon the Tabernacle and its vessels. In Leviticus 8:10-12 is recorded the fulfilment of this command; but in the later verses of the same chapter we read that the altar was sprinkled with the blood of the sin-offering (Hebrews 9:15), and that Moses sprinkled Aaron and his sons and their garments with "the anointing oil and the blood which was upon the altar." Manifestly we may infer that the Tabernacle and its vessels were included in the latter ceremony. Whatever was connected with the covenant which God made with His people must be sprinkled with the blood, which at once typified purification (Hebrews 9:14; Hebrews 9:24), and ratified the covenant (Hebrews 9:15; Hebrews 9:17). . . .

Pulpit Commentary

Verse 21. - Moreover the tabernacle and all the vessels of the ministry be sprinkled in like manner with the blood. This refers to a subsequent occasion, the tabernacle not having been constructed at the time of the inauguration of the covenant, - probably to the dedication of the tabernacle, enjoined Exodus 40, and described Leviticus 8. It is true that no sprinkling of the tabernacle or its furniture with blood is mentioned in the Pentateuch; only the anointing of them with oil (Leviticus 8:10). But the garments of Aaron and his sons are said on that occasion to have been sprinkled with the blood as well as with the anointing oil (Hebrews 8:30), and Josephus ('Ant.,' 3:08. 6) says that this blood-sprinkling was extended also to the tabernacle and its vessels (τήν τε σκηνὴν καὶ τὰ περὶ αὐτὴν σκεύη). Here, as well as in ver. 19, our writer may be supposed to follow the traditional account, with which there is still nothing in the Pentateuch inconsistent. Be it observed again that the force of the argument does not depend on these added details, but on the general principle, abundantly expressed in the original record, which is assorted in the following verse.
