Exodus 29:36

“And thou shall offer every day a bullock for a sin offering for atonement, etc.] That is, every day of the seven days of consecration; denoting the full and complete atonement for sin by the sacrifice of Christ, which these sacrifices could not really obtain, and were therefore frequently repeated, in this case seven times; figuratively by that number pointing to the full expiation of sin by the atoning Saviour, who was made not only an offering for sin, but sin itself by imputation, for his people: and thou shalt cleanse the altar when thou hast made atonement for it; which though not capable of sin, or of any moral guilt, yet, inasmuch as it was to be of sacred use, and to have sin…”

“CONSECRATION OF THE ALTAR. (Exo 29:36-37) and thou shalt cleanse the altar--The phrase, "when thou hast made an atonement for it," should be, upon it; and the purport of the direction is, that during all the time they were engaged as above from day to day in offering the appointed sacrifices, the greatest care was to be taken to keep the altar properly cleansed--to remove the ashes, and sprinkle it with the prescribed unction that, at the conclusion of the whole ceremonial, the altar itself should be consecrated as much as the ministers who were to officiate at it (Mat 23:19). It was thenceforth associated with the services of religion.”

“The consecration of the priests. See the notes to Lev. 8–9. Exodus 29:4 Door of the tabernacle - Entrance of the tent. See Leviticus 8:3. Exodus 29:27 The “waving” was the more solemn process of the two: it was a movement several times repeated, while “heaving” was simply a “lifting up” once. Exodus 29:33 A stranger - One of another family, i. e. in this case, one not of the family of Aaron. return to 'Top of Page'”

“The consecration of the altar, seems to have been coincident with that of the priests; and the sin - offerings, which were offered every day for seven days together, had reference to the altar, as well as the priests. And atonement was made for the altar. The altar was also sanctified, not only set apart itself to a sacred use, but made so holy as to sanctify the gifts that were offered upon it, Mat 23:19. Christ is our altar, for our sakes he sanctified himself, that we and our performances might be sanctified and recommended to God, Joh 17:19. Exodus 29:38”
