The bull, a symbol of strength and service, was chosen for its value and significance in ancient agrarian society. The daily sacrifice underscores the continual need for atonement and dedication to God. This practice foreshadows the ultimate sacrifice of Christ, who offered Himself once for all (<a href="/hebrews/10-10.htm">Hebrews 10:10</a>).<p><b>as a sin offering</b><br />The term "sin offering" comes from the Hebrew "חַטָּאת" (chatta'ath), which refers to an offering made to atone for sin. This offering was essential for maintaining the holiness required to approach God. It highlights the gravity of sin and the necessity of bloodshed for atonement, pointing to the sacrificial system fulfilled in Jesus' atoning death.<p><b>to make atonement</b><br />The Hebrew word "כָּפַר" (kaphar) means to cover or to make reconciliation. Atonement involves covering sin to restore the relationship between God and His people. This concept is central to the Old Testament sacrificial system and finds its ultimate expression in the New Testament through Christ's atoning work on the cross.<p><b>Purify the altar</b><br />The altar, a sacred place for offerings, required purification to be fit for divine service. The Hebrew "חִטֵּא" (chitte) means to cleanse or purify. This act symbolizes the need for holiness in all that is dedicated to God, reminding believers of the call to purity in worship and service.<p><b>by making atonement for it</b><br />The altar itself, though an inanimate object, required atonement, signifying the pervasive nature of sin and the need for cleansing even in the instruments of worship. This act emphasizes the holiness of God and the thoroughness required in approaching Him.<p><b>and anoint it</b><br />Anointing, from the Hebrew "מָשַׁח" (mashach), involves applying oil as a symbol of consecration and the Holy Spirit's presence. Anointing the altar set it apart for God's purposes, illustrating the principle that all aspects of worship must be sanctified and dedicated to Him.<p><b>to consecrate it</b><br />The Hebrew "קָדַשׁ" (qadash) means to set apart as holy. Consecration involves dedicating something entirely to God, signifying its exclusive use for His glory. This act of consecration reflects the believer's call to live a life set apart for God, wholly devoted to His service and purposes.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/exodus/29.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(36) <span class= "bld">Thou shalt cleanse the altar, when thou hast made an atonement for it.</span>--Rather, <span class= "ital">by making an atonement for it. </span>The atonement was made by smearing the blood of the bullock upon the horns of the altar (<a href="/exodus/29-12.htm" title="And you shall take of the blood of the bullock, and put it on the horns of the altar with your finger, and pour all the blood beside the bottom of the altar.">Exodus 29:12</a>, compared with <a href="/leviticus/8-15.htm" title="And he slew it; and Moses took the blood, and put it on the horns of the altar round about with his finger, and purified the altar, and poured the blood at the bottom of the altar, and sanctified it, to make reconciliation on it.">Leviticus 8:15</a>).<p><span class= "bld">And thou shalt anoint it.</span>--Comp. <a href="/leviticus/8-11.htm" title="And he sprinkled thereof on the altar seven times, and anointed the altar and all his vessels, both the laver and his foot, to sanctify them.">Leviticus 8:11</a>, where we find that the altar was anointed by having the holy oil sprinkled upon it seven times.

Rather, "thou shelf purify the altar by making an atonement for it." The sin-offering for the altar was the same bullock which served for Aaron and his sons. Its virtue was applied to the altar by smearing the blood upon its horns and pouring the remainder at its base (ver. 12). See <a href="/leviticus/8-15.htm">Leviticus 8:15</a>: - "And Moses took the blood, and put it upon the horns of the altar round about with his finger, <span class="accented">and purified the altar</span>, and poured the blood at the bottom of the altar, <span class="accented">and sanctified it</span>." <span class="cmt_word">And thou shalt anoint it</span>. In his execution of these directions, Moses separated the anointing of the altar from the cleansing, placing it even before the anointing of Aaron. He anointed it by sprinkling the holy oil upon it seven times (<a href="/leviticus/8-11.htm">Leviticus 8:11</a>). <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/exodus/29-36.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">Sacrifice</span><br /><span class="heb">תַּעֲשֶׂ֤ה</span> <span class="translit">(ta·‘ă·śeh)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb -
