Exodus 29

Introduction

CONSECRATION OF AARON AND OF HIS SONS, Exodus 29:1-37.

The detailed description of the priestly garments is now followed by an account of the manner in which Aaron and his sons were to be solemnly set apart for the priest’s office. Moses, as the chosen mediator of the Sinaitic covenant, is authorized to order the entire service, offer the sacrifices of inauguration, and perform the ceremonials of consecration and induction into office. In this chapter we have the ceremonials prescribed; in Leviticus viii the record of the actual consecration. As the ritual of offerings is more fully given in Leviticus 1-7, the reader is referred for that information to notes on those chapters.
