Exodus 29:7-17

7 et oleum unctionis fundes super caput eius atque hoc ritu consecrabitur
8 filios quoque illius adplicabis et indues tunicis lineis cingesque balteo
9 Aaron scilicet et liberos eius et inpones eis mitras eruntque sacerdotes mei in religione perpetua postquam initiaveris manus eorum
10 adplicabis et vitulum coram tabernaculo testimonii inponentque Aaron et filii eius manus super caput illius
11 et mactabis eum in conspectu Domini iuxta ostium tabernaculi testimonii
12 sumptumque de sanguine vituli pones super cornua altaris digito tuo reliquum autem sanguinem fundes iuxta basim eius
13 sumes et adipem totum qui operit intestina et reticulum iecoris ac duos renes et adipem qui super eos est et offeres incensum super altare
14 carnes vero vituli et corium et fimum conbures foris extra castra eo quod pro peccato sit
15 unum quoque arietum sumes super cuius caput ponent Aaron et filii eius manus
16 quem cum mactaveris tolles de sanguine eius et fundes circa altare
17 ipsum autem arietem secabis in frusta lotaque intestina eius ac pedes pones super concisas carnes et super caput illius

Exodus 29:7-17 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO EXODUS 29

This chapter gives an account of the form and order of the consecration of Aaron and his sons to the priestly office; preparatory to which Moses is ordered to take a young bullock, two rams, bread, cakes, and wafers unleavened, and bring them and Aaron and his sons to the door of the congregation, where the ceremony was to be publicly performed, and which began with washing them, Ex 29:1-4 and then proceeded by putting on the priestly garments directed to be made in the preceding chapter, first on Aaron, who also was anointed, Ex 29:5-7 and then upon his sons, Ex 29:8,9 after which the bullock and the two rams were to be slain, and orders are given what was to be done with their blood, and the several parts of them, as well as with the cakes and wafers, Ex 29:10-23 and directions are given to make these wave and heave offerings, Ex 29:24-28 and that the garments of Aaron's should be his son's that succeeded him, Ex 29:29,30, and that the flesh of the ram of consecration with the bread should be eaten by Aaron and his sons and no other, Ex 29:31-35, the altar also where they were to officiate was to be cleansed, sanctified, and an atonement made for it, Ex 29:36,37 after which two lambs every day, morning and evening, were to be offered on it in all succeeding generations, Ex 29:38-42, and the chapter is closed with a promise that the Lord would meet with the children of Israel at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and would sanctify the tabernacle, and dwell among them, and be their God, Ex 29:43-46.
