Levítico 8:15 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 8:15

And he slew it
Not Aaron, nor any of his sons, who as yet were not fully consecrated and installed into their office, but Moses, as follows:

and Moses took the blood;
which was received into a basin when the bullock was slain:

and put [it] upon the horns of the altar round about with his
finger;
upon the four horns of the altar, which were at the four corners of it, and dipping his finger into the blood, he besmeared the horns with it, and drew it about with his finger here and there; and so is said to be done round about the altar, as these horns were:

and purified the altar;
or cleansed it; not from moral guilt and pollution, which it was incapable of, but from all ceremonial pollution it might be supposed to have:

and poured the blood at the bottom of the altar;
the rest of the blood he did not use about the horns:

and sanctified it;
separated it from common to sacred use:

to make reconciliation upon it;
that it might be fit to have sacrifices offered on it to make atonement and reconciliation for sins; for which reason it was necessary it should itself be pure and holy, in such sense it was capable of being so.

Levítico 8:15 In-Context

13 Luego Mois茅s hizo que los hijos de Aar贸n se acercaran y los visti贸 con t煤nicas, los ci帽贸 con cinturones, y les ajust贸 las tiaras tal como el SE脩OR hab铆a ordenado a Mois茅s.
14 Entonces trajo el novillo de la ofrenda por el pecado, y Aar贸n y sus hijos pusieron sus manos sobre la cabeza del novillo de la ofrenda por el pecado.
15 Despu茅s Mois茅s lo degoll贸 y tom贸 la sangre y con su dedo puso parte de ella en los cuernos del altar por todos los lados, y purific贸 el altar. Luego derram贸 el resto de la sangre al pie del altar y lo consagr贸, para hacer expiaci贸n por 茅l.
16 Tom贸 tambi茅n todo el sebo que hab铆a en las entra帽as y el l贸bulo del h铆gado, y los dos ri帽ones con su sebo, y los quem贸 Mois茅s sobre el altar.
17 Pero el novillo, con su piel, su carne y su esti茅rcol, lo quem贸 en el fuego fuera del campamento, tal como el SE脩OR hab铆a mandado a Mois茅s.
