Exodus 29:40

_AND WITH THE ONE LAMB A TENTH DEAL OF FLOUR MINGLED WITH THE FOURTH PART OF AN HIN OF BEATEN OIL; AND THE FOURTH PART OF AN HIN OF WINE FOR A DRINK OFFERING._ No JFB commentary on this verse....

38-46 A lamb was to be offered upon the altar every morning, and a lamb every evening. This typified the continual intercession which Christ ever lives to make for his church. Though he offered himself but once for all, that one offering thus becomes a continual offering. This also teaches us to offer to God the spiritual sacrifices of prayer and praise every day, morning and evening. Our daily devotions are the most needful of our daily works, and the most pleasant of our daily comforts. Prayer-time must be kept up as duly as meal-time. Those starve their own souls, who keep not up constant attendance on the throne of grace; constancy in religion brings in the comfort of it....

Verse Exodus 29:40. _A TENTH DEAL OF FLOUR_] _Deal_ signifies a _part_, from the Anglo-Saxon [Anglo-Saxon], to _divide_; hence [Anglo-Saxon], a _part_, a _portion_ taken from the whole. From Numbers 28:5 we learn that this _tenth deal_ was the _tenth part_ of an _ephah_, which constituted what is called an _omer_. See Exodus 16:36; and See Clarke on Ex 16:16 of the same chapter, where an account is given of different measures of capacity among the Hebrews. The _omer_ contained about _three quarts_ English. _THE FOURTH PART OF A HIN_] The _hin_ contained _one gallon_ and _two pints_. Th

Exodus 29:38 THE CONTINUAL BURNT-OFFERING - The primary purpose of the national altar is here set forth. The victim slain every morning and every evening was an acknowledgment that the life of the people belonged to Yahweh; the offering of meal was an acknowledgment that all their works rightly done were His due (see Leviticus 2); while the incense symbolized their daily prayers. Exodus 29:39 AT EVEN - See Exodus 12:6. Exodus 29:40 A t

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 WITH THE ONE LAMB A TENTH DEAL,.... That is, the tenth part of an "ephah", as Jarchi and Aben Ezra, which is an "omer", and held as much as a man could eat in one day, or more, see Exodus 16:18: OF FLOUR MINGLED WITH THE FOURTH PART OF AN HIN OF BEATEN OIL; this was a meat, or, rather bread offering, which went along with the daily sacrifice, and typified Christ the food of his people, who is compared to a corn of wheat; is the finest of the wheat, and the bread of God, which came down from heaven, and gives life, food; and nourishment to men; and the "beaten oil" may signify the graces of the Spirit in him, and the exercise of them through the many trials and sufferings he endured, and which make him savoury food to his people, as a crucified Christ is: AND THE FOURTH PART OF A HIN OF WINE FOR A DRINK OFFERING; a "hin", Aben Ezra says, was an Egypt

Exodus 29:38. _Now this is that which thou shalt offer upon the altar; two lambs of the first year day by day continually._ Remember, as long as there was a Jewish state, the morning and the evening were to open and to close with the sacrifice of a lamb. Exodus 29:39. The one lamb thou shalt offer in the morning; and the other lamb thou shalt offer at even: And with the one lamb a tenth deal of flour mingled with the fourth part of an hin of beaten oil; and the fourth part of an hin of wine for a drink offering. And the other lamb thou shalt offer at even, and shalt do thereto according to the meat offering of the morning, and according to the drink offering thereof, for a sweet savour an offering made by fire unto the LORD. This shall be a continual burnt offering throughout you

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 ...
