Commentary on Exodus 29:12

Theological / Devotional

Take of the blood. Because the horns of the altar symbolized the glory and power of salvation (Ps. 18:2), the blood of the bullock, representative of the life (see Lev. 17:14) of Aaron and his sons and presented in atonement for their sins, was first touched to them. The unused portion was poured out at the base of the altar. Such was the usual practice with sin offerings (Lev. 4:7), of which this was the first example.
