The priest: had the 17th and 18th verses intended by prince the high priest, there would have been no need of changing the phrase, or of mentioning the priest, it would have been enough to have said, And he shall; but in those verses the bringing and preparing is not priestly, but ascribed to the prince, as it would be to any other who offers a sacrifice to the Lord by the hand of the priest.
Shall take; carry with him in some vessel or other, from the place where the bullock was slain.

And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering,…. An emblem of the blood of Christ, who was made sin for his people, and an offering for their sin; and which blood cleanses from all sin:
and put it upon the posts of the house; of the house of God, the sanctuary or temple; upon everyone of the posts of it, which stood at the entrance into it. The Targum is
“upon the threshold of the house:”
and upon the four corners of the settle of the altar; or four horns of it; see Eze 43:14:
and upon the posts of the gate of the inner court; that is, of the temple: this is also a new rule or law about putting the blood of the sacrifice into these various places, of which nothing is said in the law of Moses; and shows that admission into the church of God, and the right participation of Christ, the altar, and the blessings of his grace, as well as entrance into heaven itself, are all through the blood of Christ.

Ver. 19. And put it upon the posts. ] This and other ceremonies were not enjoined by the law of Moses. The Jews cannot tell what to say to it. They will not see that old things are past, and all things become new.

Eze 45:19. Putting blood upon the door posts of a house is a forma! way of consecrating the house. It is also a signal of the importance attached to the inside of the house.
