Commentaries on Exodus 29:44

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 44I will sanctify - both Aaron and his sons - So we find the sanctification by Moses according to the Divine institution was only symbolical; and that Aaron and his sons must be sanctified, i.e., made holy, by God himself before they could officiate in holy things. From this, as well as from many other things mentioned in the sacred writings, we may safely infer that no designation by man only is sufficient to qualify any person to fill the office of a…Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 38-46Verses 38-46 Exodus 29:38 The continual burnt-offering - The primary purpose of the national altar is here set forth. The victim slain every morning and every evening was an acknowledgment that the life of the people belonged to Yahweh; the offering of meal was an acknowledgment that all their works rightly done were His due (see Exodus 29:39 At even - See Exodus 12:6.

• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 38-46Verses 38-46 A lamb was to be offered upon the altar every morning, and a lamb every evening. This typified the continual intercession which Christ ever lives to make for his church. Though he offered himself but once for all, that one offering thus becomes a continual offering. This also teaches us to offer to God the spiritual sacrifices of prayer and praise every day, morning and evening. Our daily devotions are the most needful of our daily works, and…Read the comment
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 42-46The purpose of the Tent of Meeting (the tabernacle), the priesthood, and the sacrificial system was to help people have fellowship with God. Fellowship means a close relationship. The Lord would meet with his people there (29:42, 43). He would live among them as their God (29:45, 46).Read the comment
• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 38-4638. two lambs of the first year day by day continually--The sacred preliminaries being completed, Moses was instructed in the end or design to which these preparations were subservient, namely, the worship of God; and hence the institution of the morning and evening sacrifice. The institution was so imperative, that in no circumstances was this daily oblation to be dispensed with; and the due observance of it would secure the oft-promised grace and…Read the comment
