In the context of Exodus, this act of consecration is a divine initiative, emphasizing God's role in sanctifying the priests and the tabernacle. Historically, consecration involved rituals that symbolized purification and dedication to God's service. This reflects the broader biblical theme of holiness, where God calls His people to be set apart for His purposes.<p><b>the Tent of Meeting</b><br />The "Tent of Meeting," or "Ohel Moed" in Hebrew, was the sacred space where God met with Moses and the Israelites. It served as a precursor to the Temple in Jerusalem and was central to Israelite worship and community life. Archaeologically, while no direct evidence of the Tent has been found, its detailed descriptions in the Bible provide insights into its significance as a mobile sanctuary during the Israelites' wilderness journey.<p><b>and the altar</b><br />The altar, or "mizbeach" in Hebrew, was a place of sacrifice and worship. It symbolized the means by which the Israelites could approach God, offering sacrifices for atonement and thanksgiving. The altar's consecration underscores its role as a holy instrument through which the covenant relationship between God and His people was maintained.<p><b>and will consecrate Aaron and his sons</b><br />Aaron and his sons were set apart as priests, a role of immense responsibility and honor. The consecration of the priesthood was a divine appointment, signifying that their service was not merely a human institution but a sacred duty ordained by God. This highlights the importance of spiritual leadership and the need for those who serve God to be holy and dedicated.<p><b>to serve Me as priests</b><br />The phrase "to serve Me as priests" indicates the primary function of the priesthood: to minister before God on behalf of the people. The Hebrew word for "serve," "שׁרת" (sharat), implies both worship and work, reflecting the dual nature of priestly duties. This service was not only a privilege but also a profound responsibility, as priests acted as mediators between God and Israel, pointing forward to the ultimate High Priest, Jesus Christ, in the New Testament.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/exodus/29.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(44) <span class= "bld">I will sanctify also both Aaron and his sons.</span>--Something beyond the formal consecration seems to be intended. God will continually sanctify the Levitical priesthood by the presence of His Holy Spirit with them, in their ministerial acts, and even in their daily walk, if they will seek to serve Him.<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/exodus/29.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 44.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">I will sanctify... the altar</span>. See <a href="/leviticus/9-24.htm">Leviticus 9:24</a>, where we learn that on the first occasion of Aaron's offering sacrifice upon the brazen altar, "there came a fire out from before the Lord, and consumed upon the altar the burnt offering and the fat." Thus the altar had its miraculous sanctification, as well as the tabernacle, and was not merely consecrated by human instrumentality. <span class="cmt_word">I will sanctify also both Aaron and his</span> <span class="cmt_word">sons.</span> It would seem to follow, by parity of reasoning, that here also something more is intended than had been accomplished by the rites of consecration. The verb is in the future - "I will sanctify" - and must allude to something which has not yet taken place. Probably, sanctification of the spirit is intended - that Divine influence upon the heart which alone makes men really and truly "holy." (Compare <a href="/leviticus/21-8.htm">Leviticus 21:8, 15</a>; <a href="/leviticus/22-9.htm">Leviticus 22:9, 16</a>.) But in this case the promise must have been conditional. God would sanctify them so far as they would allow him. <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/exodus/29-44.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">So I will consecrate</span><br /><span class="heb">וְקִדַּשְׁתִּ֛י</span> <span class="translit">(wə·qid·daš·tî)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Verb - Piel - Conjunctive perfect - first person common singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_6942.htm">Strong's 6942: </a> </span><span class="str2">To be set apart or consecrated</span><br /><br /><span class="word">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">מוֹעֵ֖ד</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 /><br /><span class="word">and the altar,</span><br /><span class="heb">הַמִּזְבֵּ֑חַ</span> <span class="translit">(ham·miz·bê·aḥ)</span><br /><span class="parse">Article | Noun - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_4196.htm">Strong's 4196: </a> </span><span class="str2">An altar</span><br /><br /><span class="word">and I will consecrate</span><br /><span class="heb">אֲקַדֵּ֖שׁ</span> <span class="translit">(’ă·qad·dêš)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb - Piel - Imperfect - first person common singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_6942.htm">Strong's 6942: </a> </span><span class="str2">To be set apart or consecrated</span><br /><br /><span class="word">Aaron</span><br /><span class="heb">אַהֲרֹ֧ן</span> <span class="translit">(’a·hă·rōn)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - proper - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_175.htm">Strong's 175: </a> </span><span class="str2">Aaron -- an elder brother of Moses</span><br /><br /><span class="word">and his sons</span><br /><span class="heb">בָּנָ֛יו</span> <span class="translit">(bā·nāw)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - masculine plural construct | third person masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_1121.htm">Strong's 1121: </a> </span><span class="str2">A son</span><br /><br /><span class="word">to serve Me as priests.</span><br /><span class="heb">לְכַהֵ֥ן</span> <span class="translit">(lə·ḵa·hên)</span><br /><span class="parse">Preposition-l | Verb - Piel - Infinitive construct<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3547.htm">Strong's 3547: </a> </span><span class="str2">To officiate as a, priest, to put on regalia</span><br /><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/exodus/29-44.htm">Exodus 29:44 NIV</a><br /><a href="/nlt/exodus/29-44.htm">Exodus 29:44 NLT</a><br /><a href="/esv/exodus/29-44.htm">Exodus 29:44 ESV</a><br /><a href="/nasb/exodus/29-44.htm">Exodus 29:44 NASB</a><br /><a href="/kjv/exodus/29-44.htm">Exodus 29:44 KJV</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="//bibleapps.com/exodus/29-44.htm">Exodus 29:44 BibleApps.com</a><br /><a href="//bibliaparalela.com/exodus/29-44.htm">Exodus 29:44 Biblia Paralela</a><br /><a href="//holybible.com.cn/exodus/29-44.htm">Exodus 29:44 Chinese Bible</a><br /><a href="//saintebible.com/exodus/29-44.htm">Exodus 29:44 French Bible</a><br /><a href="/catholic/exodus/29-44.htm">Exodus 29:44 Catholic Bible</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/exodus/29-44.htm">OT Law: Exodus 29:44 I will sanctify the Tent of Meeting (Exo.
