CONSECRATING THE PRIESTS AND THE ALTAR. (Exo. 29:1-35)
hallow them, to minister unto me in the priest's office--The act of inaugurating the priests was accompanied by ceremonial solemnities well calculated not only to lead the people to entertain exalted views of the office, but to impress those functionaries themselves with a profound sense of its magnitude and importance. In short, they were taught to know that the service was for them as well as for the people; and every time they engaged in a new performance of their duties, they were reminded of their personal interest in the worship, by being obliged to offer for themselves, before they were qualified to offer as the representatives of the people.
this is the thing that thou shalt do--Steps are taken at the beginning of a society, which would not be repeated when the social machine was in full motion; and Moses, at the opening of the tabernacle, was employed to discharge functions which in later periods would have been regarded as sacrilege and punished with instant death. But he acted under the special directions of God. |

do unto them to hallow them
The priest type of consecration. (Compare the temple type, (Kg1 8:1-11); (Ch2 5:4); (Ch2 5:14). The order in; (Lev 8:1-9); (Lev 8:24); differs from the order here. In Leviticus the filling the hands precedes the sprinkling.
bullock, rams
(See Scofield) - (Lev 1:3). |
| Commentary on the Old Testament, by Carl Friedrich Keil and Franz Delitzsch [1857-78] |
| Consecration of Aaron and his Sons through the anointing of their persons and the offering of sacrifices, the directions for which form the subject of vv. 1-35. This can only be fully understood in connection with the sacrificial law contained in Lev 1-7. It will be more advisable therefore to defer the examination of this ceremony till we come to Lev 8, where the consecration itself is described. The same may also be said of the expiation and anointing of the altar, which are commanded in Exo 29:36 and Exo 29:37, and carried out in Lev 8:11. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
| Take one young bullock - This consecration did not take place till after the erection of the tabernacle. See Lev 8:9-14. |
3 If his offering [07133] be a burnt sacrifice [05930] of the herd [01241], let him offer [07126] a male [02145] without blemish [08549]: he shall offer [07126] it of his own voluntary will [07522] at the door [06607] of the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150] before [06440] the LORD [03068].
24 And he brought [07126] Aaron's [0175] sons [01121], and Moses [04872] put [05414] of the blood [01818] upon the tip [08571] of their right [03233] ear [0241], and upon the thumbs [0931] of their right [03233] hands [03027], and upon the great toes [0931] of their right [03233] feet [07272]: and Moses [04872] sprinkled [02236] the blood [01818] upon the altar [04196] round about [05439].
1 And the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Moses [04872], saying [0559],
2 Take [03947] Aaron [0175] and his sons [01121] with him, and the garments [0899], and the anointing [04888] oil [08081], and a bullock [06499] for the sin offering [02403], and two [08147] rams [0352], and a basket [05536] of unleavened bread [04682];
3 And gather [06950] thou all the congregation [05712] together [06950] unto the door [06607] of the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150].
4 And Moses [04872] did [06213] as the LORD [03068] commanded [06680] him; and the assembly [05712] was gathered together [06950] unto the door [06607] of the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150].
5 And Moses [04872] said [0559] unto the congregation [05712], This is the thing [01697] which the LORD [03068] commanded [06680] to be done [06213].
6 And Moses [04872] brought [07126] Aaron [0175] and his sons [01121], and washed [07364] them with water [04325].
7 And he put [05414] upon him the coat [03801], and girded [02296] him with the girdle [073], and clothed [03847] him with the robe [04598], and put [05414] the ephod [0646] upon him, and he girded [02296] him with the curious girdle [02805] of the ephod [0646], and bound [0640] it unto him therewith.
8 And he put [07760] the breastplate [02833] upon him: also he put [05414] in the breastplate [02833] the Urim [0224] and the Thummim [08550].
9 And he put [07760] the mitre [04701] upon his head [07218]; also upon the mitre [04701], even upon his forefront [06440] [04136], did he put [07760] the golden [02091] plate [06731], the holy [06944] crown [05145]; as the LORD [03068] commanded [06680] Moses [04872].
14 So that the priests [03548] could [03201] not stand [05975] to minister [08334] by reason [06440] of the cloud [06051]: for the glory [03519] of the LORD [03068] had filled [04390] the house [01004] of God [0430].
4 And all the elders [02205] of Israel [03478] came [0935]; and the Levites [03881] took up [05375] the ark [0727].
1 Then Solomon [08010] assembled [06950] the elders [02205] of Israel [03478], and all the heads [07218] of the tribes [04294], the chief [05387] of the fathers [01] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478], unto king [04428] Solomon [08010] in Jerusalem [03389], that they might bring up [05927] the ark [0727] of the covenant [01285] of the LORD [03068] out of the city [05892] of David [01732], which is Zion [06726].
2 And all the men [0376] of Israel [03478] assembled [06950] themselves unto king [04428] Solomon [08010] at the feast [02282] in the month [03391] Ethanim [0388], which is the seventh [07637] month [02320].
3 And all the elders [02205] of Israel [03478] came [0935], and the priests [03548] took up [05375] the ark [0727].
4 And they brought up [05927] the ark [0727] of the LORD [03068], and the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150], and all the holy [06944] vessels [03627] that were in the tabernacle [0168], even those did the priests [03548] and the Levites [03881] bring up [05927].
5 And king [04428] Solomon [08010], and all the congregation [05712] of Israel [03478], that were assembled [03259] unto him, were with him before [06440] the ark [0727], sacrificing [02076] sheep [06629] and oxen [01241], that could not be told [05608] nor numbered [04487] for multitude [07230].
6 And the priests [03548] brought in [0935] the ark [0727] of the covenant [01285] of the LORD [03068] unto his place [04725], into the oracle [01687] of the house [01004], to the most [06944] holy [06944] place, even under the wings [03671] of the cherubims [03742].
7 For the cherubims [03742] spread forth [06566] their two wings [03671] over the place [04725] of the ark [0727], and the cherubims [03742] covered [05526] the ark [0727] and the staves [0905] thereof above [04605].
8 And they drew out [0748] the staves [0905], that the ends [07218] of the staves [0905] were seen out [07200] in the holy [06944] place before [06440] the oracle [01687], and they were not seen [07200] without [02351]: and there they are unto this day [03117].
9 There was nothing in the ark [0727] save [07535] the two [08147] tables [03871] of stone [068], which Moses [04872] put [03240] there at Horeb [02722], when the LORD [03068] made [03772] a covenant with the children [01121] of Israel [03478], when they came out [03318] of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714].
10 And it came to pass, when the priests [03548] were come out [03318] of the holy [06944] place, that the cloud [06051] filled [04390] the house [01004] of the LORD [03068],
11 So that the priests [03548] could [03201] not stand [05975] to minister [08334] because [06440] of the cloud [06051]: for the glory [03519] of the LORD [03068] had filled [04390] the house [01004] of the LORD [03068].
11 And he sprinkled [05137] thereof upon the altar [04196] seven [07651] times [06471], and anointed [04886] the altar [04196] and all his vessels [03627], both the laver [03595] and his foot [03653], to sanctify [06942] them.
37 Seven [07651] days [03117] thou shalt make an atonement [03722] for the altar [04196], and sanctify [06942] it; and it shall be an altar [04196] most holy [06944] [06944]: whatsoever toucheth [05060] the altar [04196] shall be holy [06942].
36 And thou shalt offer [06213] every day [03117] a bullock [06499] for a sin offering [02403] for atonement [03725]: and thou shalt cleanse [02398] the altar [04196], when thou hast made an atonement [03722] for it, and thou shalt anoint [04886] it, to sanctify [06942] it.
9 And he put [07760] the mitre [04701] upon his head [07218]; also upon the mitre [04701], even upon his forefront [06440] [04136], did he put [07760] the golden [02091] plate [06731], the holy [06944] crown [05145]; as the LORD [03068] commanded [06680] Moses [04872].
10 And Moses [04872] took [03947] the anointing [04888] oil [08081], and anointed [04886] the tabernacle [04908] and all that was therein, and sanctified [06942] them.
11 And he sprinkled [05137] thereof upon the altar [04196] seven [07651] times [06471], and anointed [04886] the altar [04196] and all his vessels [03627], both the laver [03595] and his foot [03653], to sanctify [06942] them.
12 And he poured [03332] of the anointing [04888] oil [08081] upon Aaron's [0175] head [07218], and anointed [04886] him, to sanctify [06942] him.
13 And Moses [04872] brought [07126] Aaron's [0175] sons [01121], and put [03847] coats [03801] upon them, and girded [02296] them with girdles [073], and put [02280] bonnets [04021] upon them; as the LORD [03068] commanded [06680] Moses [04872].
14 And he brought [05066] the bullock [06499] for the sin offering [02403]: and Aaron [0175] and his sons [01121] laid [05564] their hands [03027] upon the head [07218] of the bullock [06499] for the sin offering [02403].
