Garments of deceit
There are several words used for generic 'garments'. One is used for the clothing of the priests called beged בגד or garments of deceit. They were costumes to show that they were playing a role as a type of Christ. Beged means 'revelation to man ב that God pursued them ג with the commandment ד'. The drama performed by the priests taught them about God through his law.
The sacrifices were a promise of grace, which could not be given until after the instrument of grace was in effect. Only a provisional grace could be given until Christ rose from the dead. Sacrifices never gave grace in the past, and no future sacrifices can be made. Jesus finished the work. [3]- ↑ Heb 10:1 For the law having a shadow of good things to come, [and] not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.
- ↑ Heb 11:13 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of [them], and embraced [them], and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.
- ↑ Joh 19:30 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.
