Bible Comments

And shalt anoint them He anointed Aaron by pouring the holy oil upon his head, Leviticus 8:12; but his sons only by sprinkling some of it upon their garments, as he did upon Aaron's also, together with some blood of the sacrifice, Exodus 29:21; Leviticus 8:30. And consecrate them In the Hebrew it is, Thou shalt fill their hands; alluding, probably, to the ceremony of putting into their hands the ensigns of their office, or to that of putting the wave-offering into their hands, that they might wave it before the Lord, Exodus 29:24; Leviticus 8:27.
