Esodo 29:20

20 Scannerai il montone, prenderai del suo sangue e lo metterai sull’estremità dell’orecchio destro d’Aaronne e sull’estremità dell’orecchio destro de’ suoi figliuoli, e sul pollice della loro man destra e sul dito grosso del loro piè destro, e spanderai il sangue sull’altare, tutto all’intorno.

Esodo 29:20 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 29:20

Then shall thou kill the ram
As the other:

and take of his blood,
some part of it being received into a basin:

and put it upon the tip of the right ear of Aaron, and upon the tip of
the right ear of his sons;
according to Jarchi, this is the middle gristle within the ear; but Saadiah more rightly says it is the tender part which joins to the orb of the ear. The blood was put upon this part to sanctify it, and cleanse from sins that come thereby, and to teach the high priest that he ought attentively to listen to what should be said unto him of the Lord, that he might faithfully report it to the people; and as our great High Priest had his ear opened and awakened, to hear as the learned; and happy are his people who have ears to hear the joyful sound, and take pleasure in it, and who are cleansed from their hearing sins, by his precious blood:

and upon the thumb of their right hand;
on the middle joint of it, as Jarchi:

and upon the great toe of the right foot;
the hands and fingers being the instruments of action, and the feet and toes of walking, show that the life and conversation of the priests of the Lord ought to be pure and holy, and so their antitype perfectly was; and whereas there is imperfection in all the actions, and even in the best righteousness of the saints, and their walk and conversation is not without sin, they have need to have them sprinkled with, and their conversation garments washed and made white in the blood of the Lamb:

and sprinkle the blood upon the altar round about;
as was done with the blood of the other ram, ( Exodus 29:16 ) .

Esodo 29:20 In-Context

18 E farai fumare tutto il montone sull’altare: è un olocausto all’Eterno; è un sacrifizio di soave odore fatto mediante il fuoco all’Eterno.

19 Poi prenderai l’altro montone, e Aaronne e i suoi figliuoli poseranno le loro mani sul capo dei montone.

20 Scannerai il montone, prenderai del suo sangue e lo metterai sull’estremità dell’orecchio destro d’Aaronne e sull’estremità dell’orecchio destro de’ suoi figliuoli, e sul pollice della loro man destra e sul dito grosso del loro piè destro, e spanderai il sangue sull’altare, tutto all’intorno.

21 E prenderai del sangue che è sull’altare, e dell’olio dell’unzione, e ne aspergerai Aaronne e i suoi paramenti, e i suoi figliuoli e i paramenti de’ suoi figliuoli con lui. Così saranno consacrati lui, i suoi paramenti, i suoi figliuoli e i loro paramenti con lui.

22 Prenderai pure il grasso dei montone, la coda, il grasso che copre le interiora, la rete del fegato, i due arnioni e il grasso che v’è sopra e la coscia destra, perché è un montone di consacrazione;
