Esodo 29:17

17 Poi farai a pezzi il montone, laverai le sue interiora e le sue gambe, e le metterai sui pezzi e sulla sua testa.

Esodo 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.

Esodo 29:17 In-Context

15 Poi prenderai uno de’ montoni; e Aaronne e i suoi figliuoli poseranno le loro mani sul capo del montone.

16 E scannerai il montone, ne prenderai il sangue, e lo spanderai sull’altare, tutto all’intorno.

17 Poi farai a pezzi il montone, laverai le sue interiora e le sue gambe, e le metterai sui pezzi e sulla sua testa.

18 E farai fumare tutto il montone sull’altare: è un olocausto all’Eterno; è un sacrifizio di soave odore fatto mediante il fuoco all’Eterno.

19 Poi prenderai l’altro montone, e Aaronne e i suoi figliuoli poseranno le loro mani sul capo dei montone.
