Levítico 8:15

15 Y degollólo; y Moisés tomó la sangre, y puso con su dedo sobre los cuernos del altar alrededor, y purificó el altar; y echó la demás sangre al pie del altar, y santificólo para reconciliar sobre él.

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 Después Moisés hizo llegar los hijos de Aarón, y vistióles las túnicas, y ciñólos con cintos, y ajustóles los chapeos (tiaras), como Jehová lo había mandado á Moisés.

14 Hizo luego llegar el becerro de la expiación, y Aarón y sus hijos pusieron sus manos sobre la cabeza del becerro de la expiación.

15 Y degollólo; y Moisés tomó la sangre, y puso con su dedo sobre los cuernos del altar alrededor, y purificó el altar; y echó la demás sangre al pie del altar, y santificólo para reconciliar sobre él.

16 Después tomó todo el sebo que estaba sobre los intestinos, y el redaño del hígado, y los dos riñones, y el sebo de ellos, é hízolo Moisés arder sobre el altar.

17 Mas el becerro, y su cuero, y su carne, y su estiércol, quemólo al fuego fuera del real; como Jehová lo había mandado á Moisés.
