Exodus 29:16-18 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Bible Comments

Observe, the sacrifice of blood is first sprinkled upon the altar, and then the offering by fire; meaning, perhaps, that atonement for our sins is first made to God by the blood of Jesus, and then our persons and our offerings are accepted in him, as living sacrifices. Isaiah 6:7; Romans 12:1.

Exodus 29:16-18

16 And thou shalt slay the ram, and thou shalt take his blood, and sprinkle it round about upon the altar.

17 And thou shalt cut the ram in pieces, and wash the inwards of him, and his legs, and put them unto his pieces, and unto his head.

18 And thou shalt burn the whole ram upon the altar: it is a burnt offering unto the LORD: it is a sweet savour, an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
