This site's exposition
But the earthen vessel wherein it is sodden
on Leviticus 6:28-30
An earthen vessel the flesh was boiled in is broken, and a brass pot is scoured and rinsed and stays in use. The text draws that line and leaves it unexplained, and the readings on offer run from the porousness of clay to the worth of the metal. Verse 30 then lifts one class of sin offering out of the eating rule, since where the blood was carried into the tabernacle the flesh is burnt in the fire and no priest eats it. That is the offering of the day of atonement in chapter 16, and Hebrews 13:11-13 takes up the burning outside the camp and sets the suffering of Jesus without the gate beside it.
The record, by era
The Puritans and the Awakening2 voices
Hence the apostle infers the advantage we have under the gospel above what they had under the law; for though the blood of Christ was brought into the tabernacle, to reconcile within the holy place, yet we have a right by faith to eat of the altar ( Heb. xiii.
