Éxodo 24:8 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 24:8

And Moses took the blood
The other half of the blood which was in the basins:

and sprinkled it on the people;
not on the whole body of the people, who could not be brought nigh enough, and were too numerous to be all sprinkled with it; though the apostle so expresses it, a part being put for the whole, ( Hebrews 9:19 ) either this was sprinkled on the young men that offered the sacrifices in the name of all the people; or on the seventy elders, as the heads of them, so Aben Ezra; or upon the twelve pillars, which answered to the twelve tribes, and represented them as the altar did the Lord:

and said, behold the blood of the covenant, which the Lord hath made
with you concerning all these words;
being a ratification of the covenant on both sides, having been sprinkled both upon the altar, and upon the people. In allusion to which, the blood of Christ is sometimes called the blood of sprinkling, and which, sprinkled upon the mercy seat, calls for pardon for men; and sprinkled on their consciences, speaks peace and pardon to them, and cleanses from all sin; and sometimes the blood of the everlasting covenant, the covenant of grace made with him, by which it is ratified and confirmed; and our Lord may have regard to this rite and mode of expression in ( Matthew 26:28 ) .

Éxodo 24:8 In-Context

6 Moisés dejó escurrir la mitad de la sangre de estos animales en unos tazones; la otra mitad la salpicó sobre el altar.

7 Luego tomó el libro del pacto y lo leyó al pueblo en voz alta. Una vez más todos respondieron: «Haremos todo lo que el Señor
ha ordenado. Vamos a obedecer».

8 Entonces Moisés tomó la sangre de los tazones y la salpicó sobre el pueblo, mientras declaraba: «Esta sangre confirma el pacto que el Señor
ha hecho con ustedes al darles estas instrucciones».

9 Después Moisés, Aarón, Nadab y Abiú, y los setenta ancianos de Israel subieron al monte.

10 Allí vieron al Dios de Israel. Debajo de sus pies parecía haber una superficie de lapislázuli de color azul brillante, tan clara como el mismo cielo.
