Exodus 29:22, Exodus 29:26-28 KJV

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Exodus 29:1-46

CONSECRATION OF THE PRIESTS THE CEREMONY IN OUTLINE (Exodus 29:1-9 ) What animals were required for sacrifice, and what qualification must they have (Exodus 29:1 )? What offerings accompanied them (Exodus 29:2 )? Where was the place of ceremony (Exodus 29:4 )? What was the preliminary act? This washing of the bodies of the priests typified the cleanness of the whole man in a moral and spiritual sense, which, while it was true of Aaron only ceremonially, was true absolutely of the Lord... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Exodus 29:1-46

The Priest and His Consecration Exodus 29-30 We now study the consecration of the priest himself. Strange if God has constructed a tabernacle, given a specification for an ark, detailed the shape and colour of the priestly robes, and omitted to say anything about the priest himself. Let us see how the case stands both historically and spiritually. We have already seen that the priest did not officially appoint himself; in no sense did he rush into the priest's office; nay, more, at the very... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 29:1-37

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, 1 Peter 2:5, washed in the blood of Christ, and so made to... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Exodus 29:1-30

Order of Consecration v. 1. And this is the thing that thou shalt do unto them to hallow them, to minister unto Me in the priest's office; this was the order of consecration which was to be in force for all times in the Jewish Church: Take one young bullock and two rams without blemish, free from sickness and any physical defects, v. 2. and unleavened bread, and cakes unleavened, tempered with oil, olive-oil being mixed in when the dough was prepared, and wafers unleavened, very thin,... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Exodus 29:19-30

the Consecration Offerings Exodus 29:19-30 The second ram of the consecration ceremony yielded its blood to be placed on ear and hand and foot. We are thus taught that our senses, deeds and goings are to be dedicated to God. Though the garments, which had just been put on, were perfectly new, they were besprinkled with blood and oil from head to foot. To our eyes a grievous disfigurement; but the Holy Spirit thus signified that even beauty is subordinate to the necessity for God’s... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Exodus 29:1-46

The hallowing of the priests consisted in a threefold function: ablution, arrayal, and anointing. Approaching with sacrifices and offerings, there was first to be the washing in water and then the arrayal in the holy garments. The ceremony of consecration, with its sacrifices and anointing, emphasized the purity necessary on the part of those exercising the office of the priesthood. Aaron, cleansed and anointed, proceeded to service, and the ceremonies emphasized that the consecration of the... read more

The Ram of Consecration and The Cereal Offerings (Exodus 29:19-26 ). Sin having been dealt with and self-dedication and worship having been offered the consecration now continues. Exodus 29:19-21 “And you shall take the other ram, and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on the head of the ram, then you shall kill the ram, and take 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, and on the thumb of their right hand, and on the... read more
