16 Slaughter it and take the blood and splash it against the sides of the altar.
16 And thou shalt slay the ram, and thou shalt take his blood, and sprinkle it round about upon the altar.
16 and you shall kill the ram and shall take its blood and throw it against the sides of the altar.
16 Slaughter the ram and take its blood and throw it against the Altar, all around.
16 and you shall kill the ram, and you shall take its blood and sprinkle it all around on the altar.
16 Then slaughter the ram, and splatter its blood against all sides of the altar.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Exodus 29:16
Commentary on Exodus 29:1-37
(Read Exodus 29:1-37)
Aaron and his sons were to be set apart for the priest's office, with ceremony and solemnity. Our Lord Jesus is the great High Priest of our profession, called of God to be so; anointed with the Spirit, whence he is called Messiah, the Christ; clothed with glory and beauty; sanctified by his own blood; made perfect, or consecrated through sufferings, Matthew 12:28,) and by him the merit of Christ is applied to our souls. This consecration signifies the admission of a sinner into the spiritual priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
