Commentary on Exodus 29:37

Theological / Devotional

Seven days. The entire ceremony of consecration was to be repeated seven times, both for the priests and for the altar.

Most holy. Literally, “holy of holies,” denoting the great sacredness of the altar (see Ex. 40:10). Therefore “whatsoever toucheth” it “shall be” or must be, “holy.”
