Deconstructing Exodus 29 - Consecration of the Priests

Exodus 29 details the consecration ceremony for Aaron and his sons as priests. God instructs Moses on the rituals to sanctify them for their priestly duties. The chapter outlines the following key elements: 1. *Preparations* – Moses is to take a young bull, two rams, unleavened bread, and other offerings. 2. *Washing and Clothing* – Aaron and his sons are washed and dressed in priestly garments, including the ephod, breastplate, and turban. 3. *Anointing and Sacrifices* – A bull is sacrificed as a sin offering to cleanse them. One ram is offered as a burnt offering to signify dedication. The second ram is used for ordination, with its blood placed on Aaron’s and his sons' ears, thumbs, and toes, symbolizing purification and service. 4. *Wave Offering and Consecration* – Parts of the sacrifices, along with bread, are waved before the Lord and then consumed by the priests. 5. *Seven-Day Ordination* – This process is repeated for seven days to fully consecrate the priests. 6. *Daily Offerings* – God commands two lambs to be sacrificed daily as a continual burnt offering, representing Israel’s ongoing relationship with Him. The chapter concludes with God promising to dwell among the Israelites, sanctifying the Tabernacle, the priests, and His people.
