Exodus 29 |
|
| 29:1
And this is the thing that thou shalt do unto them to hallow them, to
minister unto me in the priest's office: Take one young bullock, and two
rams without blemish, |
|
| 29:2
And unleavened bread, and cakes unleavened tempered with oil, and wafers
unleavened anointed with oil: of wheaten flour shalt thou make them. |
|
| 29:3
And thou shalt put them into one basket, and bring them in the basket,
with the bullock and the two rams. |
|
| 29:4
And Aaron and his sons thou shalt bring unto the door of the tabernacle of
the congregation, and shalt wash them with water. |
|
| 29:5
And thou shalt take the garments, and put upon Aaron the coat, and the
robe of the ephod, and the ephod, and the breastplate, and gird him with the
curious girdle of the ephod: |
|
| 29:6
And thou shalt put the mitre upon his head, and put the holy crown upon
the mitre. |
|
| 29:7
Then shalt thou take the anointing oil, and pour it upon his head, and
anoint him. |
|
| 29:8
And thou shalt bring his sons, and put coats upon them. |
|
| 29:9
And thou shalt gird them with girdles, Aaron and his sons, and put the
bonnets on them: and the priest's office shall be theirs for a perpetual
statute: and thou shalt consecrate Aaron and his sons. |
|
| 29:10
And thou shalt cause a bullock to be brought before the tabernacle of the
congregation: and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands upon the head of
the bullock. |
|
| 29:11
And thou shalt kill
the bullock before the LORD, by the door of the tabernacle of the
congregation. |
(29:11-37)
Killing animals for God
"And thou shalt kill the bullock before the LORD."
Get some animals, kill them, chop up
their bodies, wave body parts in the air, burn the carcasses, and sprinkle the
blood all around -- in precisely the way God tells you. It may well make you
sick, but it makes God feel good. Be sure, though, to keep strangers away from these
animal sacrifices. Because God hates strangers just as much as he loves blood
and guts and gore.
Does God desire animal sacrifices?
Did God command the Israelites to make burnt offerings?
|
| 29:12
And thou shalt take of
the blood of the bullock, and put it upon the horns of the altar with thy
finger, and pour all the blood beside the bottom of the altar.
|
| 29:13
And thou shalt take
all the fat that covereth the inwards, and the caul that is above the liver,
and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, and burn them upon the
altar.
|
| 29:14
But the flesh of the
bullock, and his skin, and his dung, shalt thou burn with fire without the camp: it is a sin
offering. |
 (28:14)
"But the flesh of the bullock, and his skin, and his dung, shalt thou burn with fire without the camp: it is a sin offering."
|
| 29:15
Thou shalt also take one ram; and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands
upon the head of the ram.
|
| 29:16
And thou shalt slay
the ram, and thou shalt take his blood, and sprinkle it round about upon the
altar. |
|
| 29:17
And thou shalt cut the
ram in pieces, and wash the inwards of him, and his legs, and put them unto
his pieces, and unto his head. |
|
| 29:18
And thou shalt burn
the whole ram upon the altar: it is a burnt offering unto the LORD: it is
a sweet savour, an offering made by fire unto the LORD. |
(29:18)
"A sweet savour before the Lord"
|
| 29:19
And thou shalt take the other ram; and Aaron and his sons shall put their
hands upon the head of the ram. |
|
| 29:20
Then shalt thou kill
the ram, and take of
his blood, and put it upon the tip of the right ear of Aaron, and upon
the tip of the right ear of his sons, and upon the thumb of their right
hand, and upon the great toe of their right foot, and sprinkle the blood
upon the altar round about. |
(29:20)
Smearing blood on ears, thumbs, and big toes
"Take of his blood, and put it upon the tip of the right ear of Aaron, and upon
the tip of the right ear of his sons, and upon the thumb of their right
hand, and upon the great toe of their right foot, and sprinkle the blood
upon the altar round about."
God tells Moses to kill a ram and put the
blood on the tip of Aaron's right ear, and on his right thumb, and on his right
big toe, and then sprinkle the blood around the altar. Finally, sprinkle some on
Aaron and his sons and on their garments. This will make them
"hallowed."
|
| 29:21
And thou shalt take of
the blood that is upon the altar, and of the anointing oil, and sprinkle it
upon Aaron, and upon his garments, and upon his sons, and upon the garments
of his sons with him: and he shall be hallowed, and his garments, and his
sons, and his sons' garments with him.
|
| 29:22
Also thou shalt take
of the ram the fat and the rump, and the fat that covereth the inwards, and
the caul above the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon
them, and the right shoulder; for it is a ram of consecration: |
(29:22-26)The wave offering
"Thou shalt ... wave them for a wave offering before the LORD."
God tells Aaron and his sons to take the
rump, fat, caul, kidneys, and right shoulder of the ram and add a loaf of bread
or two, and a wafer of unleavened bread. Then they put the whole mess in the
hands of Aaron and his sons and they wave them before the Lord. This is a wave
offering.
|
| 29:23
And one loaf of bread, and one cake of oiled bread, and one wafer out of
the basket of the unleavened bread that is before the LORD:
|
| 29:24
And thou shalt put all
in the hands of Aaron, and in the hands of his sons; and shalt wave them for
a wave offering before the LORD. |
|
| 29:25
And thou shalt
receive them of their hands, and burn them upon the altar for a burnt offering,
for a sweet savour before the LORD: it is an offering made by fire unto the
LORD. |
(29:25)
"A sweet savour before the Lord"
|
| 29:26
And thou shalt take
the breast of the ram of Aaron's consecration, and wave it for a wave
offering before the LORD: and it shall be thy part. |
|
| 29:27
And thou shalt
sanctify the breast of the wave offering, and the shoulder of the heave
offering, which is waved, and which is heaved up, of the ram of the
consecration, even of that which is for Aaron, and of that which is for
his sons: |
(29:27-28)
The heave offering
"Thou shalt sanctify ... the shoulder of the heave
offering ... which is heaved up."
|
| 29:28
And it shall be Aaron's and his sons' by a statute for ever from the
children of Israel: for
it is an heave offering>: and it shall be an heave offering
from the children of Israel of the sacrifice of their peace offerings, even
their heave offering unto the LORD. |
|
| 29:29
And the holy garments of Aaron shall be his sons' after him, to be
anointed therein, and to be consecrated in them. |
|
| 29:30
And that son that is priest in his stead shall put them on seven days,
when he cometh into the tabernacle of the congregation to minister in the
holy place. |
|
| 29:31
And thou shalt take
the ram of the consecration, and seethe his flesh in the holy place. |
|
| 29:32
And Aaron and his sons shall eat the flesh of the ram, and the bread that
is in the basket by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. |
|
| 29:33
And they shall eat those things wherewith the atonement was made, to
consecrate and to sanctify them: but a stranger shall not eat thereof, because
they are holy. |
 (29:33) No Strangers Allowed!
"But a stranger shall not eat thereof, because
they [the animal sacrifices, not the strangers] are holy."
Don't allow any strangers to attend your ritual animal sacrifices.
|
| 29:34
And if ought of the flesh of the consecrations, or of the bread, remain
unto the morning, then thou shalt burn the remainder with fire: it shall not
be eaten, because it is holy. |
|
| 29:35
And thus shalt thou do unto Aaron, and to his sons, according to all
things which I have commanded thee: seven days shalt thou consecrate them. |
|
| 29:36
And thou shalt offer every
day a bullock for a sin offering for atonement: and thou shalt
cleanse the altar, when thou hast made an atonement for it, and thou shalt
anoint it, to sanctify it. |
(29:36, 38-39)
You must kill a bullock every day.
"Thou shalt offer every day a bullock for a sin offering for atonement."
Have your killed and offered your
bullock for a sin offering today? How about the two lambs you are supposed to
offer each day?
|
| 29:37
Seven days thou shalt make an atonement for the altar, and sanctify it;
and it shall be an altar most holy: whatsoever toucheth the altar shall be
holy.
|
| 29:38
Now this is that which
thou shalt offer upon the altar; two lambs of the first year day by day
continually. |
|
| 29:39
The one lamb thou shalt offer in the morning; and the other lamb thou
shalt offer at even: |
|
| 29:40
And with the one lamb a tenth deal of flour mingled with the fourth part
of an hin of beaten oil; and the fourth part of an hin of wine for a drink
offering. |
|
| 29:41
And the other lamb thou shalt offer at even, and shalt do thereto
according to the meat offering of the morning, and according to the drink
offering thereof, for a
sweet savour, an offering made by fire unto the LORD. |
(29:41)
"A sweet savour before the Lord"
|
| 29:42
This shall be a continual burnt offering throughout your generations at
the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the LORD: where I will
meet you, to speak there unto thee. |
|
| 29:43
And there I will meet with the children of Israel, and the tabernacle
shall be sanctified by my glory. |
|
| 29:44
And I will sanctify the tabernacle of the congregation, and the altar: I
will sanctify also both Aaron and his sons, to minister to me in the
priest's office. |
|
| 29:45
And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will be their God. |
|
| 29:46
And they shall know that I am the LORD their God, that brought them forth
out of the land of Egypt, that I may dwell among them: I am the LORD their
God. |
