29:10-34 The consecration of the priesthood of Aaron involved a sin offering (29:10-14), a burnt offering (29:15-18), and an ordination offering (29:19-28). The same patterns established here are expanded to the regular offerings of the people (see 29:38-46; Lev 1–5). In all three cases, Aaron and his sons lay their hands on [the] head of the sacrificial animals (Exod 29:10, 15, 19), indicating that sin is a matter of life and death, and that it can only be removed by a death. Because it represents life, blood is prominent in these ceremonies (29:12, 16, 20, 21).
