Exodus 29:19 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 29:19

And thou shall take the other ram
The other of the two that was left, ( Exodus 29:1 ) :

and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands on the head of the ram,
as they were to do, and did, upon the head of the other; (See Gill on Exodus 29:15).

Exodus 29:19 In-Context

17 Cut the ram into pieces; wash its innards and legs, then gather the pieces and its head
18 and burn the whole ram on the Altar. It is a Whole-Burnt-Offering to God, a pleasant fragrance, an offering by fire to God.
19 "Then take the second ram. Have Aaron and his sons place their hands on the ram's head.
20 Slaughter the ram. Take some of its blood and rub it on Aaron's right earlobe and on the right earlobes of his sons, on the thumbs of their right hands and on the big toes of their right feet. Sprinkle the rest of the blood against all sides of the Altar.
21 Then take some of the blood that is on the Altar, mix it with some of the anointing oil, and splash it on Aaron and his clothes and on his sons and their clothes so that Aaron and his clothes and his sons and his sons' clothes will be made holy.
