Exodus 29

Sin drops poison on our holy things, it infects our prayers. The High Priest was to make atonement for sin on the altar (Exodus 29:36), to signify that our holiest services need Christ to make atonement for them. Duties of religion in themselves are good, but sin corrupts them,…

Answer: Because faith eyes Christ in every duty, and so both the person and offering are accepted. The high priest under the law laid his hand upon the head of the beast slain, which did point to the Messiah (Exodus 29:10). So faith in every duty lays its hand upon the head of C…

The Virgin Mary's obedience was not perfect; she needed Christ's blood to wash her tears. Aaron was to make atonement for the altar (Exodus 29:37), to show that the most holy offering has defilement in it, and needs atonement to be made for it. Question 1. But if man has not pow…

(3) See question the eighth and ninth. (4) Exodus 29:42, 43, 45; Deuteronomy 14:23; Psalm 133:3; Matthew 18:20; Revelation 21:3. (5) Exodus 20:5; Deuteronomy 4:23, 24; Joshua 24:19; Ezekiel 16.

Qu. 8. How many we sanctify the name of God in the use of Gospel institutions? Answ. 1. By a holy reverence of his sovereign authority appointing of them. 2. A holy regard to his special presence in them. 3. Faith in his promises annexed to them. 4. Delight in his will, wisdom,…

Hence were they called meat and drink-offerings. And they had washings also that belonged to them, as the washing of the inwards (Exodus 29:17), and of the burnt-offerings peculiarly (Ezekiel 40:38), of the hands and feet of the Priests (Exodus 30:18), and of the leper (Leviticu…

And as to the second, Expositors generally answer, that aspersion or sprinkling with blood, did commonly precede unction with the Holy Oil. And as to the garments of the Priests, which were the vessels or utensils of the Tabernacle, it was appointed that they should be sprinkled…

I will not absolutely oppose the usual interpretation of these words; namely, that at the erection of the tabernacle, and the dedication of it with all its vessels and utensils, there was a sprinkling with blood, though not expressly mentioned by Moses, for he only declares the…

And this is the last thing in particular, namely, the way or means of the removal of this evil conscience, which is by sprinkling of our hearts. The expression is taken from the sprinkling of blood upon the offering of the sacrifices (Exodus 29:16, 21; Leviticus 4:17; Chapter 14…

(2.) By the [⟨in non-Latin alphabet⟩] or daily sacrifice of morning and evening for the whole people. See the institution of it, Exodus 29, verses 38, 39, 40, 41, 42. For although that sacrifice had in it the nature of an expiatory oblation, because it was by blood; yet the prin…

Reas. 3. If the Communion Table were an altar, then it should be greater and better than the sacramental bread and wine, or the Lord's Supper itself, and a means to consecrate them. For the altar sanctifies all the gifts and sacrifices that are offered upon it, and is greater th…

God disallows covenants of man's making (and so our Church-Covenant) in those words, But not by your Covenant (Ezekiel 16:61). God does not reprove them there for making Covenant, for then he were contrary to himself, who elsewhere called them to do it (Exodus 29; Deuteronomy 29…

For teleioun means to consecrate and to initiate; hence among the ancients, baptism also is called teleiosis (consecration). The Septuagint employs the word for consecration or dedication (Exodus 29, "to fill the hands of them," verses 33 and 35); nor does the term appear to be…

The reason of the diversity is, because the same word in the original, which signifies the second person masculine, you, meaning the Father; signifies the third person feminine: his soul shall make itself; but on the matter, whether we apply it to the Father, or to Christ, both…

2. That there be some appointed to offer the sacrifice; that there be some set apart for that very thing. 3. That there be a killing, or destroying, of the thing that is offered in a sacrifice; which especially in the sin-offering was necessary; to wit, that it should be killed,…

In the old Testament, when a man had sinned, he brought a sheepe or an oxe to the doore of the Tabernacle, and when the Priest cut the throat of it, the partie laid his hand upon the head of it. Exod 29:10. And hereby he signified, that the beast had done no hurt, and that he as…

Answer. Even because he sustained our person and cause: for there was nothing at all that could satisfy God's justice, but the death of his only begotten Son. The word Asham, signifies sin, and oblation for sin; and so oftentimes it is found in the latter signification in the Sc…

The Prophet then expresses three things here distinctly. For first when he says, that the sacrifices went up, he alludes to the ceremony which in old time they used in the sacrifices, for they lifted up their offerings (Exodus 29:24; Leviticus 8:29), to signify, that they were t…

It would have been more correct to say that the noun נזר signifies a crown than a flower. "Thou shalt put the holy crown," את נזר הקדש, (Exodus 29:6.) "Thou hast profaned his crown," נזרו, (Psalm 89:39.)

When he says, that it was not lawful to eat that bread but for the priests alone, we must understand him to refer to the ordinary law: they shall eat those things wherewith the atonement was made, to consecrate and to sanctify them; but a stranger shall not eat thereof, because…

For this reason the apostle, in the Epistle to the Hebrews, (13:12,) refers it to an ancient figure of the law. For as God commanded his people to burn without the camp the bodies of those animals, the blood of which was carried into the sanctuary to make atonement for sins, (Ex…

For so he affirms that he spake to him, [mouth to mouth], mouth to mouth (Numbers 12:13). 2. All other Prophets, they say, received their visions either in their sleep, or presently after their sleep, but Moses in the day time standing between the Cherubims (Exodus 29:52). 3. Th…

§ 8 The third Family relates to Sacrifices, containing fifty seven Precepts. As, 1. That the [〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉]Tamid, or continual Sacrifice, be offered every day (Exodus 29:38; Numbers 28:2, 3). 2. That the High-priest offer his Mincha or Corban every day (Leviticus 6:…

And in this call to his Office, he was a Type of Christ, who entered not on his Priesthood, but by the designation and authority of the Father (Hebrews 5:4, 5). Secondly, to the completing of his Call, there concurred his consecration or separation to God, at large described (Ex…

Of these Offerings or Gifts, some were [〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉]Ishim. [〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉] is first mentioned (Exodus 29:18): You shall burn the whole Ram upon the altar, it is a burnt-offering to the Lord, [〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉]a savour of rest, a firing to the L…

Besides they observe the number of the verses at the end of every book: as also that [in non-Latin alphabet] in [in non-Latin alphabet] Leviticus 11:42 is the middle letter of the Law; [in non-Latin alphabet], Leviticus 10:16 the middle word; Leviticus 13:33 the middle verse; th…

Sleepy duties are utterly unsuitable to the living God; he will have the very spirits distilled and offered up to him in every duty (John 4:24). He bestows upon his people the very substance and kernel of mercies, and will not accept from them the shells and shadows of duties; n…

We are not accepted through our duties, but through the Beloved; faith looks at the merit of Christ to take away the guilt, and the Spirit of Christ to take away the filth which cleaves to the most angelical services, thus it procures acceptance. The high priest under the law lo…

And therefore Calvin solidly observes that Paul in 2 Corinthians 3 speaks with less respect of the Law than the Prophets do, for their cause, who out of a vain affectation of the Law-ceremonies gave too much to the Law and darkened the Gospel, and says the one was: 1. literal; 2…

Sometimes it declares by the punishments already extended, that God is a judge, that sinners should think to themselves, that worse things hang over them if they do not repent in time. You have an example thereof in Exodus 29. But because the turning begins at the abhorring and…
