Êxodo 29:17 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 29:17

And thou shalt cut the ram in pieces
For the better convenience of laying it upon the wood on the altar, that it might be burnt; for it was to be a whole burnt offering:

and wash the inwards of him, and his legs;
denoting the purity of the sacrifice of Christ, and that when his people give up themselves to God as a whole burnt offering, in the flames of love and zeal, their affections should be pure and sincere:

and put [them] unto his pieces, and unto his head;
lay them together, so that they might be entirely consumed at once; signifying that Christ was both in soul and body an offering and a sacrifice of a sweet smelling savour to God; zeal for the honour of whose house, and the glory of his name, ate him up, as well as the fire of divine wrath; and so our whole souls, bodies and spirits, should be presented to the Lord as a holy, living, and acceptable sacrifice to him, which is more strongly suggested in the next verse.

Êxodo 29:17 In-Context

15 Depois tomarás um carneiro, e Arão e seus filhos porão as mãos sobre a cabeça dele,

16 e imolarás o carneiro e, tomando o seu sangue, o espargirás sobre o altar ao redor;

17 e partirás o carneiro em suas partes, e lavarás as suas entranhas e as suas pernas, e as porás sobre as suas partes e sobre a sua cabeça.

18 Assim queimarás todo o carneiro sobre o altar; é um holocausto para o Senhor; é cheiro suave, oferta queimada ao Senhor.

19 Depois tomarás o outro carneiro, e Arão e seus filhos porão as mãos sobre a cabeça dele;
