Éxodo 29:12 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 29:12

And thou shalt take the blood of the bullock
Being slain, and its blood received into a basin:

and put it upon the horns of the altar with thy finger;
not sprinkle it with hyssop, as was done in some cases, but put on with the finger dipped into the blood in the basin; as the horns of the altar were the place where the sacrifice was bound, as some think, or however where persons in distress fled for refuge, and laid hold on, it may figure the blood of Christ, being effectual to the cleansing of their souls, and the remission of their sins, through the application of it to them by the Spirit of God:

and pour all the blood beside at the bottom of the altar;
the rest of the blood not put upon the horns of the altar, all that was left of it. Jarchi says, there was a receptacle (for it) that protruded from around the altar, about a cubit from the ground; and here it was that the blood was poured.

Éxodo 29:12 In-Context

10 Y harás llegar el becerro delante del tabernáculo del testimonio, y Aarón y sus hijos pondrán sus manos sobre la cabeza del becerro.

11 Y matarás el becerro delante de Jehová á la puerta del tabernáculo del testimonio.

12 Y tomarás de la sangre del becerro, y pondrás sobre los cuernos del altar con tu dedo, y derramarás toda la demás sangre al pie del altar.

13 Tomarás también todo el sebo que cubre los intestinos, y el redaño de sobre el hígado, y los dos riñones, y el sebo que está sobre ellos, y los quemarás sobre el altar.

14 Empero consumirás á fuego fuera del campo la carne del becerro, y su pellejo, y su estiércol: es expiación.
