Exo 29:10-14 | TNotes | STEP | Summary for Exod 29:10-34: 29:10-34 The consecration of the priesthood of Aaron involved a sin offering (29:10-14 ), a burnt offering (29:15-18 ), and an ordination offering (29:19-28 ). The same patterns established here are expanded to the regular offerings of the people (see 29:38-46 ; Lev 1–5 ). In all three cases, Aaron and his sons lay their hands on [the] head of the sacrificial animals (Exod 29:10 , 15 , 19 ), indicating that sin is a matter of life and death, and that it can only be removed by a death. Because it represents life, blood is prominent in these ceremonies (29:12 , 16 , 20 , 21 ).
