Éxodo 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.

Éxodo 29:17 In-Context

15 También tomarás uno de los carneros, y Aarón y sus hijos pondrán sus manos sobre la cabeza del carnero.

16 Y matarás el carnero, y tomarás su sangre y la rociarás en el altar por todos los lados.

17 Luego cortarás el carnero en pedazos, y lavarás sus entrañas y sus piernas, y las pondrás con sus pedazos y con su cabeza;

18 y quemarás todo el carnero sobre el altar; es holocausto al SEÑOR, aroma agradable al SEÑOR, ofrenda encendida al SEÑOR.

19 Entonces tomarás el otro carnero, y Aarón y sus hijos pondrán sus manos sobre la cabeza del carnero.
