This is not a casual or violent act but a sacred duty performed with reverence. In the context of ancient Israelite worship, the act of slaughtering an animal was a profound symbol of atonement and dedication. It signifies the seriousness of sin and the need for a substitute to bear the penalty, pointing forward to the ultimate sacrifice of Christ.<p><b>the bull</b><br />The bull, or "par" in Hebrew, was a significant sacrificial animal in ancient Israel. It represented strength and service, and its use in the consecration of priests underscores the gravity and importance of the priestly office. The bull's sacrifice was a costly offering, symbolizing the dedication and commitment required of those who serve God. It also foreshadows the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus, who gave Himself fully for the redemption of humanity.<p><b>before the LORD</b><br />The phrase "before the LORD" indicates the presence of God and the sacredness of the act. In Hebrew, "before" is "lipne," meaning "in the face of" or "in the presence of." This highlights the direct accountability and relationship between the worshiper and God. The act of sacrifice is not merely a ritual but a personal offering to the Almighty, emphasizing the need for sincerity and devotion in worship.<p><b>at the entrance</b><br />The "entrance" or "petach" in Hebrew refers to the doorway or threshold of the Tent of Meeting. This location is significant as it represents the point of transition from the common to the holy. It is a place of encounter where the divine meets the human. The entrance is symbolic of Christ, who is the door through which believers enter into the presence of God (<a href="/john/10-9.htm">John 10:9</a>).<p><b>to the Tent of Meeting</b><br />The "Tent of Meeting," or "Ohel Moed" in Hebrew, was the sacred space where God met with His people. It was a temporary structure that prefigured the more permanent Temple and ultimately the indwelling presence of God in believers through the Holy Spirit. The Tent of Meeting was a place of revelation, worship, and communion with God, pointing to the intimate relationship that God desires with His people.<span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/exodus/29-11.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 you shall slaughter</span><br /><span class="heb">וְשָׁחַטְתָּ֥</span> <span class="translit">(wə·šā·ḥaṭ·tā)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Conjunctive perfect - second person masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_7819.htm">Strong's 7819: </a> </span><span class="str2">To slaughter, beat</span><br /><br /><span class="word">the bull</span><br /><span class="heb">הַפָּ֖ר</span> <span class="translit">(hap·pār)</span><br /><span class="parse">Article | Noun - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_6499.htm">Strong's 6499: </a> </span><span class="str2">Young bull, steer</span><br /><br /><span class="word">before</span><br /><span class="heb">לִפְנֵ֣י</span> <span class="translit">(lip̄·nê)</span><br /><span class="parse">Preposition-l | Noun - common plural construct<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_6440.htm">Strong's 6440: </a> </span><span class="str2">The face</span><br /><br /><span class="word">the LORD</span><br /><span class="heb">יְהוָ֑ה</span> <span class="translit">(Yah·weh)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - proper - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3068.htm">Strong's 3068: </a> </span><span class="str2">LORD -- the proper name of the God of Israel</span><br /><br /><span class="word">at the entrance</span><br /><span class="heb">פֶּ֖תַח</span> <span class="translit">(pe·ṯaḥ)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - masculine singular construct<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_6607.htm">Strong's 6607: </a> </span><span class="str2">An opening, door, entrance way</span><br /><br /><span class="word">to the Tent</span><br /><span class="heb">אֹ֥הֶל</span> <span class="translit">(’ō·hel)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - masculine singular construct<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_168.htm">Strong's 168: </a> </span><span class="str2">A tent</span><br /><br /><span class="word">of Meeting.</span><br /><span class="heb">מוֹעֵֽד׃</span> <span class="translit">(mō·w·‘êḏ)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_4150.htm">Strong's 4150: </a> </span><span class="str2">Appointed time, place, or meeting</span><br /><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/exodus/29-11.htm">Exodus 29:11 NIV</a><br /><a href="/nlt/exodus/29-11.htm">Exodus 29:11 NLT</a><br /><a href="/esv/exodus/29-11.htm">Exodus 29:11 ESV</a><br /><a href="/nasb/exodus/29-11.htm">Exodus 29:11 NASB</a><br /><a href="/kjv/exodus/29-11.htm">Exodus 29:11 KJV</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="//bibleapps.com/exodus/29-11.htm">Exodus 29:11 BibleApps.com</a><br /><a href="//bibliaparalela.com/exodus/29-11.htm">Exodus 29:11 Biblia Paralela</a><br /><a href="//holybible.com.cn/exodus/29-11.htm">Exodus 29:11 Chinese Bible</a><br /><a href="//saintebible.com/exodus/29-11.htm">Exodus 29:11 French Bible</a><br /><a href="/catholic/exodus/29-11.htm">Exodus 29:11 Catholic Bible</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/exodus/29-11.htm">OT Law: Exodus 29:11 You shall kill the bull before Yahweh (Exo.
