Commentary on Exodus 29:1

Theological / Devotional

This is the thing. That is, concerning the ceremony of consecration (see ch. 28:41). The “bullock” and the “two rams” were to be ready for the sacrifice that was to follow the investiture and the anointing, which explains why this preparation is mentioned first.

Without blemish. Literally, “perfect,” as otherwise it would be an offense to God (Mal. 1:6—14). The rite of consecration, throughout, emphasized the necessity of holiness. It would be well for every minister of the gospel to study most thoughtfully Ex. 28 and 29 for an adequate understanding of the nature and responsibility of his sacred office.
