7 Take the anointing oil and anoint him by pouring it on his head.
7 Then shalt thou take the anointing oil, and pour it upon his head, and anoint him.
7 You shall take the anointing oil and pour it on his head and anoint him.
7 Then take the anointing oil and pour it on his head, anointing him.
7 And you shall take the anointing oil, pour it on his head, and anoint him.
7 Then anoint him by pouring the anointing oil over his head.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Exodus 29:7
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.
