Exodus 29:10

8 Then ^ayou shall bring his sons and put tunics on them.

9 And you shall gird them with sashes, Aaron and his sons, and put the hats on them. ^aThe priesthood shall be theirs for a perpetual statute. So you shall ^bconsecrate Aaron and his sons.

10 “You shall also have the bull brought before the tabernacle of meeting, and ^aAaron and his sons shall put their hands on the head of the bull.

11 Then you shall kill the bull before the Lord, by the door of the tabernacle of meeting.

12 You shall take some of the blood of the bull and put it on ^athe horns of the altar with your finger, and ^bpour all the blood beside the base of the altar.

13 And ^ayou shall take all the fat that covers the entrails, the fatty lobe attached to the liver, and the two kidneys and the fat that is on them, and burn them on the altar.

14 But ^athe flesh of the bull, with its skin and its offal, you shall burn with fire outside the camp. It is a sin offering.

15 ^a“You shall also take one ram, and Aaron and his sons shall ^bput their hands on the head of the ram;

16 and you shall kill the ram, and you shall take its blood and ^asprinkle it all around on the altar.

17 Then you shall cut the ram in pieces, wash its entrails and its legs, and put them with its pieces and with its head.

18 And you shall burn the whole ram on the altar. It is a ^aburnt offering to the Lord; it is a sweet aroma, an offering made by fire to the Lord.

19 ^a“You shall also take the other ram, and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands on the head of the ram.

20 Then you shall kill the ram, and take some of its blood and put it on the tip of the right ear of Aaron and on the tip of the right ear of his sons, on the thumb of their right hand and on the big toe of their right foot, and sprinkle the blood all around on the altar.

21 And you shall take some of the blood that is on the altar, and some of ^athe anointing oil, and sprinkle it on Aaron and on his garments, on his sons and on the garments of his sons with him; and ^bhe and his garments shall be hallowed, and his sons and his sons’ garments with him.

Exodus 29:1-46

The sacrifice and ceremony for the consecration of the priests. (1-37) The continual burnt-offerings, God's promise to dwell among Israel. (38-46)

Verses 1-37 Aaron and his sons were to be set apart for the priest's office, with ceremony and solemnity. Our Lord Jesus is the great High Priest of our profession, called of God to be so; anointed with the Spirit, whence he is called Messiah, the Christ; clothed with glory and beauty; sanctified by his own blood; made perfect, or consecrated through sufferings, hebrews 2:10 . All believers are spiritual priests, to offer spiritual sacrifices, I Peter priests, revelation 1:5,6 . They also are clothed with the beauty of I John Spirit of God is called the finger of God, ( luke 11:20 , compared with matthew 12:28 ,) and by him the merit of Christ is applied to our souls. This consecration signifies the admission of a sinner into the spiritual priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

Verses 38-46 A lamb was to be offered upon the altar every morning, and a lamb every evening. This typified the continual intercession which Christ ever lives to make for his church. Though he offered himself but once for all, that one offering thus becomes a continual offering. This also teaches us to offer to God the spiritual sacrifices of prayer and praise every day, morning and evening. Our daily devotions are the most needful of our daily works, and the most pleasant of our daily comforts. Prayer-time must be kept up as duly as meal-time. Those starve their own souls, who keep not up constant attendance on the throne of grace; constancy in religion brings in the comfort of it.
