Commentaries on Exodus 29:10

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 10Shall put their hands upon the head of the bullock - By this rite the animal was consecrated to God, and was then proper to be offered in sacrifice. Imposition of hands also signified that they offered the life of this animal as an atonement for their sins, and to redeem their lives from that death which, through their sinfulness, they had deserved. In the case of the sin-offering and trespass-offering, the person who brought the sacrifice placed his…Read the comment

• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 10-34The consecration of Aaron's priesthood involved: a sin offering (29:10–14), a burnt offering (29:15–18), and an ordination offering (29:19–28).

God will only remove sin by a death. Because…Read the comment
