Contextual Overview

15Because of Christ's sacrifice, he pulled the new agreement out of his saddle bags and gives it freely to anyone who wants it, even those who were under the first agreement. 16A last will and testament has no power until that person is proven dead. 17Only after death is the will of the departed put into effect. 18It was the death and blood of animals that put into effect the first agreement. 19Moses passed along every command God had given him to the people. After that, he took the blood of goats and cows and sprinkled it on the book to seal the agreement. 20He said, "The blood seals the deal between God and his people." 21Even after this, blood was always sprinkled on everything used in worship according to the first agreement. 22Moses taught us that blood could cleanse nearly anything. But the wage of sin was death and something had to die to take the sinner's place in death. Without blood, there can be no forgiveness of sin.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Moreover, he sprinkled likewise both the tabernacle,.... Not at the same time that he sprinkled the book and the people, for then there was no tabernacle; but afterwards, at the time that it was set up, when it was anointed with oil, Exodus 40:9 and though no mention is there made of blood, yet Josephus, in agreement with the apostle, asserts i, that the tabernacle, and its vessels, were not only anointed with oil, but sprinkled with the blood of bulls and goats, as well as the garments of Aaron, and his sons: the tabernacle was typical of the church, in which God dwells, being purified and cleansed by the blood of Christ; and this shows, that there is no coming into the presence of God, the place where he dwells, without blood.

And all the vessels of the ministry; which were used in the service of the tabernacle these may denote the vessels of grace and mercy, the elect of God, whose hearts are sprinkled by the blood of Christ from an evil conscience, and whose garments are washed in it, and made white by it.

i Antiq. l. 3. c. 8. sect. 6.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

He sprinkled ...both the tabernacle - This circumstance is not stated by Moses. On the probability that this was done, see notes on Hebrews 9:19. The account of setting up the tabernacle occurs in Exodus 11:1-10. In that account it is said that Moses “anointed” the tabernacle with the holy anointing oil; Hebrews 9:9-11. Josephus (Ant. book iii, chapter 8, section 6), says that he consecrated it and the vessels thereto belonging with the blood of bulls and of rams. This was undoubtedly the tradition in the time of Paul, and no one can prove that it is not correct.

And all the vessels of the ministry - Employed in the service of God. The altar, the laver, Exodus 40:10-11, the censers, dishes, bowls, etc., which were used in the tabernacle.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 21. He sprinkled - with blood - all the vessels of the ministry.] To intimate that every thing used by sinful man is polluted, and that nothing can be acceptable in the sight of a holy God that has not in effect the sprinkling of the atoning blood.
