Exodus 29:37

John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible · John Gill (1697–1771) · Public Domain

Seven days thou shalt make atonement for the altar, and sanctify it,.... That it might be thoroughly fit to have sacrifices offered on it:and it shall be an altar most holy; as Christ is, and is called the Most Holy, and said to be anointed, Da 9:24.

He is holy in his person, nature, and offices, more holy than angels or men; as holy as the Lord God, the God of Israel, his Father, who is glorious in holiness, and none like to him for it:whatsoever toucheth the altar shall be holy; that is, whatsoever gift or sacrifice, according to law, was offered on it, whatever appertained unto it, or were suitable for it; for as for other things, they were not made holy by a touch of it, Hag 2:11.
