Washing
VIEW:16 DATA:01-04-2020
The high priest's whole body was washed at his consecration (Exo_29:4; Lev_16:4); also on the day of atonement. The priests' hands and feet alone were washed in the daily tabernacle ministrations (Exo_30:18-20). So Christians are once for all wholly "bathed" (leloumenoi) in regeneration which is their consecration; and daily wash away their soils of hand and foot contracted in walking through this defiling world (Joh_13:10, Greek "he that has been bathed needs not save to wash (nipsasthai) his feet, but is clean all over": 2Co_7:1; Heb_10:22-23; Eph_5:26). The clothes of him who led away the scape-goat, and of the priest who offered the red heifer, were washed (Lev_16:26; Num_19:7).
The Pharisaic washings of hands before eating, and of the whole body after being in the market (Mar_7:2-4), turned attention off from the spirit of the law, which aimed at teaching inward purity, to a mere outward purification. In the sultry and dusty East water for the feet was provided for the guests (Luk_7:44; Gen_18:4). The Lord Jesus by washing His disciples' feet taught our need of His cleansing, and His great humility whereby that cleansing was effected (compare 1Sa_25:41; 1Ti_5:10). The sandals, without stockings, could not keep out dust from the feet; hence washing them was usual before either dining or sleeping (Son_5:3). Again, the usage of thrusting the hand into a common dish rendered cleansing of the hand indispensable before eating. It was only when perverted into a self righteous ritual that our Lord protested against it (Mat_15:2; Luk_11:38).
