Exodus 29:35

_AND THUS SHALT THOU DO UNTO AARON, AND TO HIS SONS, ACCORDING TO ALL THINGS WHICH I HAVE COMMANDED THEE: SEVEN DAYS SHALT THOU CONSECRATE THEM._ Seven days. The renewal of these ceremonies on the return of every day in the seven, with the intervention of a Sabbath, was a wise preparatory arrangement, in order to afford a sufficient interval for calm and devout reflection (Hebrews 9:1; Hebrews 10:1)....

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 our God priests, Revelation 1:5; Revelation 1:6. They also are clothed with the beauty of holiness, and have received the anointing,...

The consecration of the priests. See the notes to Lev. 8–9. Exodus 29:4 DOOR OF THE TABERNACLE - Entrance of the tent. See Leviticus 8:3. Exodus 29:27 The “waving” was the more solemn process of the two: it was a movement several times repeated, while “heaving” was simply a “lifting up” once. Exodus 29:33 A STRANGER - One of another family, i. e. in this case, one not of the family of Aaron....

EXPOSITION EXODUS 29:1 THE CONSECRATION OF THE PRIESTS. From the description of the priestly attire, the Divine Law-giver passed to the form of priestly consecration, whereof investiture in the "holy garments" was a part. The ceremony of consecration was to consist of four things:— 1. Ablution; 2. Investiture; 3. Chrism or Anointing with oil; and 4. Sacrifice. In the directions given, we have, first, the preparation of the offerings (Exodus 29:1); secondly, directions for the ablutions (Exodus 29:4); thirdly,

AND THUS SHALL THOU DO UNTO AARON, AND TO HIS SONS,.... For their consecration, washing, clothing, anointing them, sprinkling blood upon them and their garments, and offering sacrifice for them: ACCORDING TO ALL THINGS WHICH I HAVE COMMANDED THEE; no one thing was to be omitted, and we find they were carefully and punctually observed, Leviticus 8:1 SEVEN DAYS SHALT THOU CONSECRATE THEM: so long the rites and ceremonies of the consecration were to be performing, that they might be thoroughly used to the putting on of their garments, and the offering of sacrifices as they saw performed by Moses; and in all respects be fitted for the discharge of their office: the Jewish writers generally say that seven days were appointed, that a sabbath might pass over them....

CHAPTER 29 THE CONSECRATION OF THE PRIESTS _ 1. Aaron and his sons wash with water (Exodus 29:1)_ 2. Aaron clothed (Exodus 29:5) 3. The consecration (Exodus 29:8) 4. The food of the priests (Exodus 29:26) 5. God's meeting place (Exodus 29:36) In Leviticus we find the record of their consecration, which is linked there with the offerings. Here it is only the instruction, while in Leviticus we find the act of the consecration. We touch upon it briefly; in Leviticus, we shall follow it a little closer. First they

EXODUS 29. P (Exodus 29:21; Exodus 29:38 later). CONSECRATION OF THE PRIESTHOOD (_cf._ Leviticus 8). The ritual of consecration is described at length. For the various sacrifices, _see_ the appropriate sections of Leviticus 1-7*, which belong to an older stratum of P, and are presupposed throughout. (I.) The materials for the sacrificial ceremonial include a bullock and two rams, bread of unleavened cakes, perforated cakes (perforations are still made in the Passover cakes), and large thin wafers, all unleavened, and to be brought in a basket (Exodus 29:1). (II.) All the priests to be consecrated must be bathed ...

To make it the more solemn and efficacious, the entire installation-ceremony is to be repeated every day for seven days (cf. Leviticus 8:33-35). In Lev. it is added that the priests are to remain during the whole of the seven days at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting. _consecrate_ INSTALL....

SEVEN DAYS SHALT THOU CONSECRATE THEM— The solemn services appointed above were to be repeated for seven days successively, to impress both the priests and the people with the highest ideas of the solemnity of that service to which the priests were called; and further, to signify the peculiar holiness of this consecration, the _altar_ itself, upon which the sacrifices were offered, and which was to be every day sanctified, was to impart sanctification to every thing that touched it, separating it from a common to a sacred use, Exodus 29:37. See Matthew 23:19. Or, possibly, _whatsoever toucheth the altar,_ may signify only such offerings and gifts, as, in consequence of this consecration, were laid upon the altar, and by it made holy. The most cursory reader can hardly help observing the regard co

THE TEXT OF EXODUS TRANSLATION 29 And this is the thing that thou shalt do unto them to hallow them, to minister unto me in the priest's office: take one young bullock and two rams without blemish, (2) and unleavened bread, and cakes unleavened mingled with oil, and wafers unleavened anointed with oil: of fine wheaten flour shalt thou make them. (3) And thou shalt put them into one basket, and bring them in the basket, with the bullock and the two rams. (4) And Aar-on and his sons thou shalt bring unto the door of the tent of meeting, and shalt wash them with water. (5) And thou shalt take the garments, and put upon Aar-on the coat, and the robe of the eph-od, and the eph-od, and the breastplate, and gird him with the skilfully woven band of the eph-od; (6) and thou shalt set the mitre upon his head, and put the holy crown upon the mitre. (7) Then shalt thou take the anointing oil, and p...
