“ Oil is a symbol of the Holy Spirit (Cf) John 3:34; Hebrews 1:9. In Christ the oil- fed Light ever burns, the Light of the world John 8:12. But here we have not the world, but the sanctuary. It is a question, not of testimony in and to the world, but of our communion and worship as believer-priests in the holiest Hebrews 10:19,20. In the Tabernacle there were two compartments, two lights: the holy place with the candlestick (See Scofield "Exodus 25:31") the holy of holies with the shekinah, or manifested glory of God. ”

“ Nothing may be dogmatically asserted to be a type without explicit New Testament authority; and (2) all types not so authenticated must be recognized as having the authority of analogy, or spiritual congruity, merely. The typical meanings of the materials and colours of the tabernacle are believed to be as follows: Gold, Deity in manifestation--divine glory; silver, redemption Exodus 30:12-16. (See Scofield "Exodus 38:27") , brass, symbol of judgment, as in the brazen altar and in the serpent of brass Numbers 21:6-9 blue, heavenly in nature or origin ”

“ Only as seen "in Him" could the boards be taken as representing the believer. So viewed the type is beautiful. In the world, and yet separated from it by the silver of redemption ; Galatians 1:4; Exodus 30:11-16; 38:25-27 as the boards of the tabernacle were separated from the earth by the sockets of silver, and united by the "middle bar" Exodus 26:28 representing both the one life Galatians 2:20 and one Spirit Ephesians 4:3 "all the building, fitly framed together, groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord." ”

“ Verse 30 Thus the Lord saved Israel
Redemption: (Exodus type) Summary. Exodus is the book of redemption and teaches:
(1) redemption is wholly of God Exodus 3:7,8; John 3:16. (2) redemption is through a person. (See Scofield "Exodus 2:2") . John 3:16,17. (3) redemption is by blood Exodus 12:13,23,27; 1 Peter 1:18. (4) redemption is by power Exodus 6:6; 13:14; Romans 8:2.
(See Scofield "Isaiah 59:20") . See Scofield "Romans 3:24".
The blood of Christ redeems the believer from the guilt and penalty of sin. 1 Peter 1:18 as the power of the Spirit delivers from the dominion of sin. ”

“ Into this twofold light we, as believer- priests, are brought 1 Peter 2:9. We "walk in the light," not merely which He gives, but in which He lives 1 John 1:7. But what of the command to "bring pure oil" Exodus 27:20. Because our access, apprehension, communion, and transformation are by the Spirit ; Ephesians 2:18; 1 Corinthians 2:14,15; 2 Corinthians 13:14; Philippians 2:1; 2 Corinthians 3:18. Our title to His presence is the blood Ephesians 2:13 but only as filled with the Spirit Ephesians 5:18 do we really walk in the light.
CHAPTER 28
Verse 1 Aaron
Type of Christ, our High Priest. ”

“ Exodus 8:18
Neither Satan nor his tools can create life: Revelation 13:15 will be a "lying wonder": 2 Thessalonians 2:9
Verse 12 Aaron's rod
(Cf) Exodus 4:2 As Moses' rod was the rod of power, the rod of the King Deuteronomy 33:4,5 so Aaron's was the rod of life, the rod of the Priest. As here the serpents, symbols of Satan, who had the power of death ; Revelation 12:9; Hebrews 2:14 are swallowed up, so in resurrection death will be "swallowed up in victory" ; 1 Corinthians 15:54; Numbers 17:8.
CHAPTER 8 ”

“ Instrumentally God hardened Pharaoh's heart by forcing him to an issue against which he hardened his own heart in refusal. Light rejected, rightful obedience refused, inevitably hardens conscience and heart. Romans 9:17-24.
Verse 24 kill him
(Cf) Genesis 17:14 The context (Genesis 4:25) interprets v. 25. Moses was forgetful of the very foundation sign of Israel's covenant relation to Jehovah. On the eve of delivering Israel he was thus reminded that without circumcision an Israelite was cut off from the covenant. ”

“ Verse 33 atonement
Heb. kaphar, "to cover." The English word "atonement" (at-one-ment) is not a translation of the Heb. kaphar, but a translator's interpretation. According to Scripture the legal sacrifice "covered" the offerer's sin and secured the divine forgiveness; according to the translators it made God and the sinner at- one. But the O.T. sacrifices did not at-one the sinner and God. "It is not possible that the blood of bulls and goats should take away sins." Hebrews 10:4. The Israelite's offering implied confession of sin and of its due desert, death ”

“ The fine linen commonly typifies personal righteousness Exodus 26:1 ref. (d) , and in the hangings of the court stands for that measure of righteousness which God demands of any who would, in his own righteousness, approach. Christ, figuratively speaking, put up the hangings of the court in Luke 10:25-28. The only way of approach was the "gate" ; Exodus 27:16; John 10:9. The hangings of the court bar out equally the self-righteous man and the open sinner, for the height was above seven feet. Exodus 27:18. ”

“ A short garment made of linen, embroidered with gold, blue, purple, and scarlet, it consisted of two pieces, front and back, united by two shoulder-pieces and by a band about the bottom. Two onyx stones, set in gold and fastened upon the shoulder-pieces of the ephod, were engraved with the names of the twelve tribes: "and Aaron shall bear their names before Jehovah upon his two shoulders (the place of strength) for a memorial." Cf. ; Isaiah 9:6; Luke 15:4,5. (4) The breastplate was a square pouch Exodus 28:16 of linen to contain the Urim and Thummim. (See Scofield "Exodus 28:30") . ”

“ Ephesians 2:19-22 (2) of the believer 2 Corinthians 6:16 (3) as a figure of things in the heavens Hebrews 9:23,24. In detail, all speaks of Christ: \li2 (1) The ark, in its materials, acacia-wood (See Scofield "Exodus 26:15") and gold, is a type of the humanity and deity of Christ. \li2 (2) In its contents, a type of Christ, as: \li3 (a) having God's law in His heart Exodus 25:16. (b) the wilderness food (or portion) of His people Exodus 16:33 (c) Himself the resurrection, of which Aaron;s rod is the symbol Numbers 17:10. ”

“ It is, in type, Galatians 6:14.
Verse 25 in the land
The compromises proposed by Pharaoh are those urged upon Christians today. The first says in effect: "Be a Christian if you will, but not a 'narrow' one-- stay in Egypt." Invariably it ends in world-conformity, world-pleasing, and seeking the world's money for God Psalms 50:9-17 (Cf) ; 2 Corinthians 6:14-18; Galatians 1:4. ”

“ For Another Point of View: See Topic 301180
See, for the other six dispensations: INNOCENCE (Genesis 1:28) ; CONSCIENCE (Genesis 3:23) ; HUMAN GOVERNMENT (Genesis 8:20) ; PROMISE (Genesis 12:1) ; GRACE (John 1:17) ”

“ Cf. Exodus 4:22,23. Possibly Moses and Aaron shrank from delivering the message concerning the firstborn.
Verse 3 three days Cf. Matthew 12:38-40. By death and resurrection will God have his people separated from Egypt -- the world. ; Romans 6:1-11; Galatians 6:14-15; Hebrews 13:12,13.
CHAPTER 6
Verse 6 redeem
Heb. "goel," Redemp. (Kinsman type) . See note, (See Scofield "Isaiah 59:20")
CHAPTER 7
Verse 5 when A prophetic sign also. ”
