13 and thou hast taken all the fat which is covering the inwards, and the redundance on the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat which 'is' on them, and hast made perfume on the altar; 14 and the flesh of the bullock, and his skin, and his dung, thou dost burn with fire at the outside of the camp; it 'is' a sin-offering. 15 'And the one ram thou dost take, and Aaron and his sons have laid their hands on the head of the ram, 16 and thou hast slaughtered the ram, and hast taken its blood, and hast sprinkled 'it' on the altar round about, 17 and the ram thou dost cut into its pieces, and hast washed its inwards, and its legs, and hast put 'them' on its pieces, and on its head; 18 and thou hast made perfume with the whole ram on the altar. It 'is' a burnt-offering to Jehovah, a sweet fragrance; a fire-offering it 'is' to Jehovah. 19 'And thou hast taken the second ram, and Aaron hath laid—his sons also—their hands on the head of the ram, 20 and thou hast slaughtered the ram, and hast taken of its blood, and hast put on the tip of the right ear of Aaron, and on the tip of the right ear of his sons, and on the thumb of their right hand, and on the great toe of their right foot, and hast sprinkled the blood on the altar round about; 21 and thou hast taken of the blood which 'is' on the altar, and of the anointing oil, and hast sprinkled on Aaron, and on his garments, and on his sons, and on the garments of his sons with him, and he hath been hallowed, he, and his garments, and his sons, and the garments of his sons with him. 22 'And thou hast taken from the ram the fat, and the fat tail, and the fat which is covering the inwards, and the redundance on the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat which 'is' on them, and the right leg, for it 'is' a ram of consecration,

Matthew Henry's Commentary on Exodus 29:13-22

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.
