19 "Take the other ram, and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on its head.
19 And thou shalt take the other ram; and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands upon the head of the ram.
19 "You shall take the other ram, and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on the head of the ram,
19 "Then take the second ram. Have Aaron and his sons place their hands on the ram's head.
19 "You shall also take the other ram, and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands on the head of the ram.
19 "Now take the other ram, and have Aaron and his sons lay their hands on its head.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Exodus 29:19
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.
