Hebrews 9:13

13 For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh:

Ver. 13. The ashes of a heifer ] Gr. Ashes and cinders mixt together, as a monument of Christ’s most base and utmost afflictions, and of our justification and sanctification through faith in his name. σποδος . Sordidus cinis, et cum carbones extincti permisti sunt.

Sprinkling the unclean ] With a hyssop bunch, to note that none can have comfort either by the merit or Spirit of Christ, without true mortification.
