Leviticus 16:24

“And he shall wash his flesh with water in the holy place, etc.] In the court of the tabernacle of the congregation, where, as Aben Ezra says, they spread fine linen for him; Jarchi says, it was a place on the roof of the house of Parvah, where all the dippings and washings were made, except the first; (see Gill on “<031604>Leviticus 16:4”); and this washing was no other than the dipping of his whole body in water; and if our Lord was baptized on this day, as some have thought, before observed, whose baptism was by dipping, (<400316>Matthew 3:16,17); there will appear in this a great likeness between the type and the antitype: and put on his garments and come forth; put on his golden…”
