Exodus 29:1-3
Summary for Exod 29:1-37: 29:1-37 a Moses was required to consecrate (or sanctify) Aaron and his sons to serve the Lord. This emphasis on making the priests holy is found throughout the ceremonies (29:6 b, 21 c, 28 d, 29 e, 34 f, 36 g, 37 h). They were set apart not merely for service, but to serve a God whose nature is utterly different from that of fallen, sinful humans. The report of how these instructions were carried out is found in Lev 8 i. 29:1 j with no defects: The same word is translated “blameless” and “perfect” in reference to human and divine behavior (e.g., Gen 17:1 k; Ps 18:30 l, 32 m). The sacrifice is representative of God’s own character and the character he seeks in humans.
