Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Exodus 29:1-37

Dedication of the priests (29:1-37)One purpose of this dedication ceremony was to impress upon priests and people alike that those who served God had to do so with purity and reverence. The priests were washed, symbolizing purification, then clothed and anointed, symbolizing appointment to their position (29:1-9).Since they themselves were not free from sin, the priests had to offer sacrifices for their own sins before they could act on behalf of others. First they offered a bull as a sin... read more

Exodus 29:1-2. This is the thing that thou shalt do unto them to hallow them— The consecration or setting apart of Aaron and his sons for the priest's office, with its various and solemn ceremonies, is described in this chapter. The providing the animals, &c. for sacrifice, is enjoined first, that they might be in readiness; though several things were to be done previous to the sacrifices themselves. Of these we shall speak in their order. See Leviticus 8:0. They are to provide for the... read more

7. The consecration of the priests 29:1-37The Israelites carried out the instructions given here later. The record of this seven-day ritual appears in Leviticus 8. I shall defer comment since Moses explained the offerings and procedures specified in this chapter more fully in Leviticus. The facts that God specified this ceremony in such detail and Moses recorded it at such length point to its importance for Israel."To Israel had been granted the privilege of being a special people; to Aaron and... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Exodus 29:2

(2) Unleavened bread.—Unleavened bread seems to have been required as purer than leavened, since fermentation was viewed as a species of corruption.Cakes . . . tempered with oil.—Rather, cakes that have had oil poured over them. A tolerably thick cake is intended.Wafers.—These were cakes, or biscuits, extremely thin and unsubstantial, as is implied by the etymology of the term used. Oil is commonly eaten with cakes of both kinds by the Orientals. read more

Exodus 29:45 So long as there is in man's heart one fibre to vibrate at the sound of what is just and true and honourable, so long as the instinctively pure soul prefers purity to life, so long as friends of truth are to be found who are ready to sacrifice their peace in the cause of science, friends of righteousness ready to devote themselves to holy and useful works of mercy, womanly hearts to love whatsoever is good, beautiful, and pure, and artists to express it by sound and colour and... read more

CHAPTER XXIX.THE CONSECRATION SERVICES.Exodus 29:1-46The priest being now selected, and his raiment so provided as that it shall speak of his office and its glory, there remains his consecration.In our day there is a disposition to make light of the formal setting apart of men and things for sacred uses. If God, we are asked, has called one to special service, is not that enough? What more can earth do to commission the chosen of the sky? But the plain answer which we ought to have the courage... read more
