| And thou shalt cause a bullock to be brought before the tabernacle--This part of the ceremonial consisted of three sacrifices: (1) The sacrifice of a bullock, as a sin offering; and in rendering it, the priest was directed to put his hand upon the head of his sacrifice, expressing by that act a consciousness of personal guilt, and a wish that it might be accepted as a vicarious satisfaction. (2) The sacrifice of a ram as a burnt offering (Exo 29:15-18). The ram was to be wholly burnt, in token of the priest's dedication of himself to God and His service. The sin offering was first to be presented, and then the burnt offering; for until guilt be removed, no acceptable service can be performed. (3) There was to be a peace offering, called "the ram of consecration" (Exo 29:19-22). And there was a marked peculiarity in the manner in which this other ram was to be disposed of. The former was for the glory of God--this was for the comfort of the priest himself; and as a sign of a mutual covenant being ratified, the blood of the sacrifice was divided--part sprinkled on the altar round about, and part upon the persons and garments of the priests. Nay, the blood was, by a singular act, directed to be put upon the extremities of the body, thereby signifying that the benefits of the atonement would be applied to the whole nature of man. Moreover, the flesh of this sacrifice was to be divided, as it were, between God and the priest--part of it to be put into his hand to be waved up and down, in token of its being offered to God, and then it was to be burnt upon the altar; the other part was to be eaten by the priests at the door of the tabernacle--that feast being a symbol of communion or fellowship with God. These ceremonies, performed in the order described, showed the qualifications necessary for the priests. (See Heb 7:26-27; Heb 10:14). |

| There must be a sin - offering, to make atonement for them. The law made them priests that had infirmity; and therefore they must first offer for their own sin, before they could make atonement for the people, Heb 7:27-28. They were to put their hand on the head of their sacrifice; confessing that they deserved to die for their own sin, and desiring that the killing of the beast might be accepted as a vicarious satisfaction. It was used as other sin - offerings were; only, whereas the flesh of other sin - offerings was eaten by the priests, in token of the priests taking away the sin of the people, this was appointed to be all burnt without the camp, to signify the imperfection of the legal dispensation, for the sins of the priests themselves could not be taken away by those sacrifices, but they must expect a better high priest, and a better sacrifice. |

| Shall put their hands upon the head of the bullock - By this rite the animal was consecrated to God, and was then proper to be offered in sacrifice. Imposition of hands also signified that they offered the life of this animal as an atonement for their sins, and to redeem their lives from that death which, through their sinfulness, they had deserved. In the case of the sin-offering and trespass-offering, the person who brought the sacrifice placed his hands on the head of the animal between the horns, and confessed his sin over the sin-offering, and his trespass over the trespass-offering, saying, "I have sinned, I have done iniquity; I have trespassed, and have done thus and thus; and do return by repentance before thee, and with this I make atonement." Then the animal was considered as vicariously bearing the sins of the person who brought it - Exo 29:14 |
14 For [1063] by one [3391] offering [4376] he hath perfected [5048] for [1519] ever [1336] them that are sanctified [37].
26 For [1063] such [5108] an high priest [749] became [4241] us [2254], who is holy [3741], harmless [172], undefiled [283], separate [5563] from [575] sinners [268], and [2532] made [1096] higher than [5308] the heavens [3772];
27 Who [3739] needeth [2192] [318] not [3756] daily [2596] [2250], as [5618] those high priests [749], to offer up [399] sacrifice [2378], first [4386] for [5228] his own [2398] sins [266], and then [1899] for the people's [2992]: for [1063] this [5124] he did [4160] once [2178], when he offered up [399] himself [1438].
19 And thou shalt take [03947] the other [08145] ram [0352]; and Aaron [0175] and his sons [01121] shall put [05564] their hands [03027] upon the head [07218] of the ram [0352].
20 Then shalt thou kill [07819] the ram [0352], and take [03947] of his blood [01818], and put [05414] it upon the tip [08571] of the right ear [0241] of Aaron [0175], and upon the tip [08571] of the right [03233] ear [0241] of his sons [01121], and upon the thumb [0931] of their right [03233] hand [03027], and upon the great toe [0931] of their right [03233] foot [07272], and sprinkle [02236] the blood [01818] upon the altar [04196] round about [05439].
21 And thou shalt take [03947] of the blood [01818] that is upon the altar [04196], and of the anointing [04888] oil [08081], and sprinkle [05137] it upon Aaron [0175], and upon his garments [0899], and upon his sons [01121], and upon the garments [0899] of his sons [01121] with him: and he shall be hallowed [06942], and his garments [0899], and his sons [01121], and his sons [01121]' garments [0899] with him.
22 Also thou shalt take [03947] of the ram [0352] the fat [02459] and the rump [0451], and the fat [02459] that covereth [03680] the inwards [07130], and the caul [03508] above the liver [03516], and the two [08147] kidneys [03629], and the fat [02459] that is upon them, and the right [03225] shoulder [07785]; for it is a ram [0352] of consecration [04394]:
15 Thou shalt also take [03947] one [0259] ram [0352]; and Aaron [0175] and his sons [01121] shall put [05564] their hands [03027] upon the head [07218] of the ram [0352].
16 And thou shalt slay [07819] the ram [0352], and thou shalt take [03947] his blood [01818], and sprinkle [02236] it round about [05439] upon the altar [04196].
17 And thou shalt cut [05408] the ram [0352] in pieces [05409], and wash [07364] the inwards [07130] of him, and his legs [03767], and put [05414] them unto his pieces [05409], and unto his head [07218].
18 And thou shalt burn [06999] the whole ram [0352] upon the altar [04196]: it is a burnt offering [05930] unto the LORD [03068]: it is a sweet [05207] savour [07381], an offering made by fire [0801] unto the LORD [03068].
4 And he shall put [05564] his hand [03027] upon the head [07218] of the burnt offering [05930]; and it shall be accepted [07521] for him to make atonement [03722] for him.
27 Who [3739] needeth [2192] [318] not [3756] daily [2596] [2250], as [5618] those high priests [749], to offer up [399] sacrifice [2378], first [4386] for [5228] his own [2398] sins [266], and then [1899] for the people's [2992]: for [1063] this [5124] he did [4160] once [2178], when he offered up [399] himself [1438].
28 For [1063] the law [3551] maketh [2525] men [444] high priests [749] which have [2192] infirmity [769]; but [1161] the word [3056] of the oath [3728], which [3588] was since [3326] the law [3551], maketh the Son [5207], who is consecrated [5048] for [1519] evermore [165].
14 But the flesh [01320] of the bullock [06499], and his skin [05785], and his dung [06569], shalt thou burn [08313] with fire [0784] without [02351] the camp [04264]: it is a sin offering [02403].
