The Hebrew root for "do" (עָשָׂה, asah) implies action and creation, suggesting that the consecration process is not merely ritualistic but transformative, setting apart the priests for a holy purpose. This reflects the broader biblical theme of God calling His people to active participation in His divine plan.<p><b>to consecrate them</b><br />The Hebrew word for "consecrate" (קָדַשׁ, qadash) means to set apart as holy. This act of consecration is not just a ceremonial cleansing but a spiritual dedication, marking the priests as belonging to God. It underscores the necessity of holiness and purity in those who serve in God's presence, a principle that resonates throughout Scripture, highlighting the call for believers to live lives set apart for God's service.<p><b>to serve Me as priests</b><br />The role of the priest is central to the covenant relationship between God and Israel. The Hebrew term for "serve" (שָׁרַת, sharath) conveys the idea of ministering or attending to duties. Priests acted as mediators between God and the people, a foreshadowing of Christ's ultimate priesthood. This service is a reminder of the privilege and responsibility of serving God, emphasizing the need for dedication and faithfulness in spiritual leadership.<p><b>Take a young bull</b><br />The young bull, or "par" in Hebrew, was a significant sacrificial animal, symbolizing strength and vitality. Its use in the consecration ceremony highlights the seriousness of the atonement process, as the bull was often associated with sin offerings. This points to the necessity of atonement and the shedding of blood for the forgiveness of sins, a theme that finds its fulfillment in the sacrifice of Jesus Christ.<p><b>and two rams without blemish</b><br />The requirement for the rams to be "without blemish" (תָּמִים, tamim) underscores the demand for perfection in offerings to God. This reflects God's holiness and the need for purity in worship. The two rams were used for different purposes: one for a burnt offering and the other for a consecration offering, symbolizing both dedication to God and the sanctification of the priests. This dual purpose illustrates the comprehensive nature of God's redemptive work, calling His people to both sacrifice and sanctity.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/exodus/29.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>XXIX.<p>THE FORM OF CONSECRATION FOR THE PRIESTS.</span><p>(1) <span class= "bld">This is the thing that thou shalt do unto them to hallow them.</span>--The consecration of the priests had been commanded in the preceding chapter (<a href="/exodus/28-41.htm" title="And you shall put them on Aaron your brother, and his sons with him; and shall anoint them, and consecrate them, and sanctify them, that they may minister to me in the priest's office.">Exodus 28:41</a>). The method of it is now laid down. It consists of five things :--(1) Ablution (<a href="/exodus/29-4.htm" title="And Aaron and his sons you shall bring to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall wash them with water.">Exodus 29:4</a>); (2) Investiture (<a href="/context/exodus/29-5.htm" title="And you shall take the garments, and put on Aaron the coat, and the robe of the ephod, and the ephod, and the breastplate, and gird him with the curious girdle of the ephod:">Exodus 29:5-9</a>); (3) Chrism, or anointing (<a href="/exodus/29-7.htm" title="Then shall you take the anointing oil, and pour it on his head, and anoint him.">Exodus 29:7</a>); (4) Sacrifice (<a href="/context/exodus/29-10.htm" title="And you shall cause a bullock to be brought before the tabernacle of the congregation: and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands on the head of the bullock.">Exodus 29:10-23</a>); and (5) Filling the hand (<a href="/exodus/29-24.htm" title="And you shall put all in the hands of Aaron, and in the hands of his sons; and shall wave them for a wave offering before the LORD.">Exodus 29:24</a>). All of these were symbolical acts, typical of things spiritual--ablution, of the putting away of impurity; investiture, of being clothed with holiness; unction, of the giving of Divine grace, &c.; the entire consecration forming an acted parable, very suggestive and full of instruction to such as understood its meaning. . . . <div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/exodus/29.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verses 1-37.</span> - THE CONSECRATION OF THE PRIESTS.
