Esodo 29:44 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 29:44

And I will sanctify the tabernacle of the congregation, and
the altar
This seems to intimate that something else in the preceding verse is intended, as what should be sanctified, than the tabernacle, as we supply it; or else here is a repetition of the same thing for the confirmation of it, and both that and the altar were, sanctified, or set apart for holy uses, as well as cleansed and expiated by sacrifices:

I will sanctify also both Aaron and his sons, to minister to me in the
priest's office;
that is, in a ceremonial way, by separating them from the rest of the children of Israel, by washing, clothing, and anointing them, and by accepting sacrifices offered by them; for this is not to be understood of internal sanctifying grace, which, though Aaron had, and many of his sons that succeeded him, yet not all; nor was it necessary to the performance of the priestly office, though it is in all those who are a royal priesthood, and made priests as well as kings unto God; for they are a holy nation, called with an holy calling, and unto himself, and have it both internally and externally.

Esodo 29:44 In-Context

42 Sarà un olocausto perpetuo offerto dai vostri discendenti, all’ingresso della tenda di convegno, davanti all’Eterno, dove io v’incontrerò per parlar quivi con te.

43 E là io mi troverò coi figliuoli d’Israele; e la tenda sarà santificata dalla mia gloria.

44 E santificherò la tenda di convegno e l’altare; anche Aaronne e i suoi figliuoli santificherò, perché mi esercitino l’ufficio di sacerdoti.

45 E dimorerò in mezzo ai figliuoli d’Israele e sarò il loro Dio.

46 Ed essi conosceranno che io sono l’Eterno, l’Iddio loro, che li ho tratti dal paese d’Egitto per dimorare tra loro. Io sono l’Eterno, l’Iddio loro.
