Greek, "And, moreover, in like manner." The sprinkling of the tabernacle with blood is added by inspiration here to the account in Exo 30:25-30; Exo 40:9-10, which mentions only Moses' anointing the tabernacle and its vessels. In Lev 8:10, Lev 8:15, Lev 8:30, the sprinkling of blood upon Aaron and his garments, and upon his sons, and upon the altar, is mentioned as well as the anointing, so that we might naturally infer, as JOSEPHUS has distinctly stated, that the tabernacle and its vessels were sprinkled with blood as well as being anointed: Lev 16:16, Lev 16:20, Lev 16:33, virtually sanctions this inference. The tabernacle and its contents needed purification (Ch2 29:21).
