Exodus 29:21

Exodus 29:21

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

Thou shalt take of the blood … and of the anointing oil. Apparently, this is the only unction that the ordinary priests were to receive. (Compare Le .) The mixture of the blood with the oil is unusual, and presents some difficulties; but perhaps it is best to view it as symbolising the intimate union which exists between justification and sanctification—the atoning blood, and the sanctifying grace of the Holy Spirit.

And sprinkle it. The verb is different from that used in , and is rightly rendered, "sprinkle." He shall be hallowed and his garments. As the garments shared in the sprinkling, they shared also, so far as was possible, in the consecration.

It was hence especially that they became "holy garments.'
