Scofield's Reference Notes - Exodus 30:18

laver Laver, type of Christ cleansing us from defilement, and from "every spot or wrinkle or any such thing" John 13:2-10; Ephesians 5:25-27. It is significant that the priests could not enter the holy place after serving at the brazen altar till hands and feet were cleansed. read more

Scofield's Reference Notes - Exodus 30:34

frankincense Frankincense is not to be confounded with incense (to which it was to be added), as it is often used apart from incense. We are told what composed the incense--never in Scripture what the frankincense was. All speaks of Christ--the sweet spices of those perfections which we may apprehend, the frankincense of that which God saw in Jesus ineffable. read more

Scofield's Reference Notes - Exodus 30:38

smell What is condemned here is making worship a mere pleasure to the natural man, whether sensuous, as in beautiful music to please the ear, or eloquence, merely to give delight to the natural mind. (Cf) John 4:23; John 4:24. read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Exodus 30:1-38

And thou shalt make an altar to burn incense upon: of acacia wood shalt thou make it. It's to be eighteen by eighteen, and forty-five inches high ( Exodus 30:1 ).This is a little altar that was set in the holy place, before the veil that separated the holy place from the Holy of Holies.Overlay it with pure gold, the top thereof, and the sides round about, and the horns thereof; [So it's a little altar only of gold, and it's to burn incense, a sweet smelling savour again before God.] And the... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Exodus 30:1-38

Exodus 30:6. Before the veil. This altar, formed like the ark, of the incorruptible wood covered over with pure gold, represented the Son of God in human nature; and the incense typified his intercession. The former was placed within the sanctuary, the latter in the court without; for his sacrifice was offered on earth, his intercession is in heaven. But it was not fixed within the most holy place; because the continual intercession of Christ was to be represented by the daily burning of... read more

Exodus 30:8Burn incense upon it.IncenseAll religious ceremony and ritual is a picture, in external and material form, and upon a lower platform, of something higher, properly religious. Now this altar of incense had a very distinct meaning.I. The first thing that I want to point out is what a lovely, significant, and instructive symbol of prayer the incense is. Now what were the aspects of prayer suggested by the symbolism?1. First of all, I suppose that the essence of it is the ascent of a... read more

Exodus 30:12A ransom for his soul.The ransom for the lifeThe word which is here rendered “ransom” is afterwards rendered “atonement.” The atonement covered or removed what displeased God, and thus sanctified for His service. Our notion of atonement under the law should ordinarily be limited to the removal of the temporal consequences of moral or ceremonial defilement. The sum of half a shekel was the tax that every man had to pay as his ransom, and as this is the single instance in the Jewish... read more

Exodus 30:17-21A laver of brass.The true washingI. Divine (John 13:8).II. Spiritual (Jeremiah 4:14). Rest not in a mere social or ecclesiastical purity.III. Essential. “That they die not” (Revelation 7:13-15). (J. S. Exell, M. A.)The laver1. This laver teaches us, among other things, that those who would come to God must approach Him with clean hands (see Psalms 26:6; Psalms 24:2-4; Psalms 119:9). I think these texts show that those who profess to serve God must cultivate holiness of heart and... read more

Exodus 30:22-33An holy anointing oil.The anointing oilI. The universal need there is of the Holy Spirit’s influence.1. There was nothing under the law so holy, but that it needed this Divine unction.2. Nor is there anything under the gospel which does not need it.II. His sufficiency for all to whom that influence is applied. This appears--1. From the preciousness of the ointment which was used.2. From the virtue infused into everything anointed with it. Application--(1) Seek the Holy Spirit for... read more
