Exodus 29:41

_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._ For a sweet savour, an offering made by fire unto the Lord, х_ LªREEYACH_ (H7381) _ NIYCHOACH_ (H5207)] - for an odour of delight. When accompanied with х_ LA-YAHWEH_ (H3068)] unto Yahweh, as in the formula of precepts respecting the legal sacrifices, as here, joined to х_ 'ISHEH_ (H801)], a sacrifice consumed by fire, the meaning is for a burnt offering, an odour acceptable to the Lord....

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....

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 THE OTHER LAMB THOU SHALT OFFER AT EVEN,.... Exodus 29:39, AND SHALL DO THERETO ACCORDING TO THE MEAT OFFERING OF THE MORNING, AND ACCORDING TO THE DRINK OFFERING THEREOF; a meat and drink offering consisting of the same things, for quality and quantity, and made in the same manner, were to be offered with the daily evening sacrifice, as with the morning one: FOR A SWEET SAVOUR, AN OFFERING MADE BY FIRE UNTO THE LORD: for these lambs were both burnt with fire upon the altar, and therefore are called a burnt offering in the next verse....

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 ...

The _burnt-offering_, to be offered daily, morning and evening, on behalf of the community. A law in great measure verbally identical, but somewhat fuller, recurs in Numbers 28:3-8, in a table, Numbers 28-29, of public sacrifices prescribed for different days in the year. Here it interrupts the connexion between _vv._37 and 43; so it is probable (Di. _al._) that it has been introduced here from Numbers 28 with some abridgements, and adjustments in _vv._38a, 42b, fitting it to its new place, by a later hand, just as Exodus 27:20 f. seems to have been similarly introduced from Leviticus 24:2 f. Its position (after _v._36 f.)
