Exodus 29:19 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown

Exodus 29:19

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.

22 “Also you shall take the fat of the ram, the fat tail, the fat that covers the entrails, the fatty lobe attached to the liver, the two kidneys and the fat on them, the right thigh (for it is a ram of consecration),

23 ^aone loaf of bread, one cake made with oil, and one wafer from the basket of the unleavened bread that is before the Lord;

24 and you shall put all these in the hands of Aaron and in the hands of his sons, and you shall ^awave them as a wave offering before the Lord.

25 ^aYou shall receive them back from their hands and burn them on the altar as a burnt offering, as a sweet aroma before the Lord. It is an offering made by fire to the Lord.

26 “Then you shall take ^athe breast of the ram of Aaron’s consecration and wave it as a wave offering before the Lord; and it shall be your portion.

27 And from the ram of the consecration you shall consecrate ^athe breast of the wave offering which is waved, and the thigh of the heave offering which is raised, of that which is for Aaron and of that which is for his sons.

28 It shall be from the children of Israel for Aaron and his sons ^aby a statute forever. For it is a heave offering; ^bit shall be a heave offering from the children of Israel from the sacrifices of their peace offerings, that is, their heave offering to the Lord.

29 “And the ^aholy garments of Aaron ^bshall be his sons’ after him, ^cto be anointed in them and to be consecrated in them.

30 ^aThat son who becomes priest in his place shall put them on for ^bseven days, when he enters the tabernacle of meeting to minister in the¹ holy place.

31 “And you shall take the ram of the consecration and ^aboil its flesh in the holy place.

32 Then Aaron and his sons shall eat the flesh of the ram, and the ^abread that is in the basket, by the door of the tabernacle of meeting.

33 ^aThey shall eat those things with which the atonement was made, to consecrate and to sanctify them; ^bbut an outsider shall not eat them, because they are holy.

Exodus 29:10-22

And thou shalt cause a bullock to be brought before the tabernacle—This part of the ceremonial consisted of three sacrifices: (1) The sacrifice of a bullock, as a sin offering; and in rendering it, the priest was directed to put his hand upon the head of his sacrifice, expressing by that act a consciousness of personal guilt, and a wish that it might be accepted as a vicarious satisfaction. (2) The sacrifice of a ram as a burnt offering (Exodus 29:15-18). The ram was to be wholly burnt, in token of the priest's dedication of himself to God and His service. The sin offering was first to be presented, and then the burnt offering; for until guilt be removed, no acceptable service can be performed. (3) There was to be a peace offering, called "the ram of consecration" (Exodus 29:19-22). And there was a marked peculiarity in the manner in which this other ram was to be disposed of. The former was for the glory of God—this was for the comfort of the priest himself; and as a sign of a mutual covenant being ratified, the blood of the sacrifice was divided—part sprinkled on the altar round about, and part upon the persons and garments of the priests. Nay, the blood was, by a singular act, directed to be put upon the extremities of the body, thereby signifying that the benefits of the atonement would be applied to the whole nature of man. Moreover, the flesh of this sacrifice was to be divided, as it were, between God and the priest—part of it to be put into his hand to be waved up and down, in token of its being offered to God, and then it was to be burnt upon the altar; the other part was to be eaten by the priests at the door of the tabernacle—that feast being a symbol of communion or fellowship with God. These ceremonies, performed in the order described, showed the qualifications necessary for the priests. (See Hebrews 7:26-27; Hebrews 10:14).
