In Hebrew, the word for blood is "דָּם" (dam), which is a symbol of life and atonement. The altar, a sacred place of sacrifice, represents the meeting point between God and man. The act of taking blood from the altar underscores the necessity of sacrifice for purification and sanctification, pointing forward to the ultimate sacrifice of Christ, whose blood would cleanse humanity from sin.<p><b>and some of the anointing oil</b><br />The anointing oil, "שֶׁמֶן הַמִּשְׁחָה" (shemen ha-mishchah) in Hebrew, is a symbol of the Holy Spirit and divine empowerment. Oil was used throughout the Old Testament to consecrate priests, kings, and prophets, setting them apart for God's service. The combination of blood and oil in this ritual highlights the dual aspects of cleansing and empowerment necessary for those who serve God, reflecting the New Testament understanding of being washed by the blood of Christ and filled with the Holy Spirit.<p><b>and sprinkle them on Aaron and his garments</b><br />The act of sprinkling, "הִזָּה" (hizah), is a ritualistic action that signifies purification and consecration. Aaron, as the high priest, represents the mediator between God and the Israelites. Sprinkling the blood and oil on him and his garments signifies the sanctification of his entire being and his role. This act foreshadows the New Testament concept of believers being clothed in the righteousness of Christ, set apart for a holy purpose.<p><b>and on his sons and their garments</b><br />Aaron's sons, who would also serve as priests, are included in this consecration. This inclusion emphasizes the hereditary nature of the priesthood in Israel and the importance of family in God's covenant community. The garments, often richly adorned, symbolize the dignity and responsibility of the priestly office. This consecration process underscores the need for purity and dedication in those who serve God, a principle that extends to all believers as a "royal priesthood" (<a href="/1_peter/2-9.htm">1 Peter 2:9</a>).<p><b>In this way, he and his garments will be consecrated</b><br />The Hebrew word for consecrated is "קָדַשׁ" (qadash), meaning to be set apart as holy. The consecration of Aaron and his garments signifies their dedication to God's service. This process of setting apart is not merely ceremonial but deeply spiritual, indicating a transformation that prepares them for their sacred duties. It reflects the Christian understanding of sanctification, where believers are set apart for God's purposes through the work of Christ and the Holy Spirit.<p><b>as well as his sons and their garments</b><br />The repetition of the consecration for Aaron's sons and their garments reinforces the continuity and communal aspect of the priesthood. It highlights the generational blessing and responsibility within the covenant community. This mirrors the Christian call to discipleship and the passing on of faith and service from one generation to the next, ensuring the perpetuation of God's work and witness in the world.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/exodus/29.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(21) <span class= "bld">Take of the blood . . . and of the anointing oil.</span>--The twofold sprinkling, with blood and with oil, denoted the necessity of a twofold holiness--that of justification by the atoning blood of Christ, and that of sanctification by the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. The anointing which is here spoken of seems to have been the only anointing received by the sons of Aaron. (See <a href="/leviticus/8-30.htm" title="And Moses took of the anointing oil, and of the blood which was on the altar, and sprinkled it on Aaron, and on his garments, and on his sons, and on his sons' garments with him; and sanctified Aaron, and his garments, and his sons, and his sons' garments with him.">Leviticus 8:30</a>.)<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/exodus/29.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 21.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">Thou shalt take of the blood... . and of the anointing oil.</span> Apparently, this is the only unction that the ordinary priests were to receive. (Compare <a href="/leviticus/8-30.htm">Leviticus 8:30</a>.) The mixture of the blood with the oil is unusual, and presents some difficulties; but perhaps it is best to view it as symbolising the intimate union which exists between justification and sanctification - the atoning blood, and the sanctifying grace of the Holy Spirit. <span class="cmt_word">And sprinkle it</span>. The verb is different from that used in ver. 16, and is rightly rendered, "sprinkle." <span class="cmt_word">He shall be hallowed and his garments</span>. As the garments shared in the sprinkling, they shared also, so far as was possible, in the consecration. It was hence especially that they became "holy garments." <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/exodus/29-21.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">And take</span><br /><span class="heb">וְלָקַחְתָּ֞</span> <span class="translit">(wə·lā·qaḥ·tā)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Verb -
