Ex 29:1-35.
CONSECRATING THE PRIESTS AND THE ALTAR.
1. hallow them, to minister unto me in the priest's office--The act of inaugurating the priests was accompanied by ceremonial solemnities well calculated not only to lead the people to entertain exalted views of the office, but to impress those functionaries themselves with a profound sense of its magnitude and importance. In short, they were taught to know that the service was for them as well as for the people; and every time they engaged in a new performance of their duties, they were reminded of their personal interest in the worship, by being obliged to offer for themselves, before they were qualified to offer as the representatives of the people.
this is the thing that thou shalt do--Steps are taken at the beginning of a society, which would not be repeated when the social machine was in full motion; and Moses, at the opening of the tabernacle, was employed to discharge functions which in later periods would have been regarded as sacrilege and punished with instant death. But he acted under the special directions of God.

4-9. 要使亞倫和他兒子到會幕門口——因為那裏位於百姓所站的院子與以色列君王居所之間的中間地帶，因此最適合祭司在此妥善預備入內、並使百姓觀禮就職典禮。
用水洗他們。要給……穿上衣服——儀式中這些部分執行的方式被詳細描述；在發掘其象徵意義——其實已相當明顯——時，我們有受啟示的權威作引導。它象徵道德上的純潔或聖潔的必要性與重要性
（賽 52:11；約 13:10；林後 7:1；彼前 3:21）。 照樣，穿上聖衣象徵他們披上公義
（啟 19:8）， 裝備齊全成為活潑而預備好事奉上帝的人；以膏油膏大祭司則表明他要被聖靈的影響所充滿，以建造並喜樂教會
（利 10:7；詩 45:7；賽 61:1；約一 2:27）， 並且他按職任是基督的預表
（來 7:26；約 3:34；
亦參 太 3:16；11:29）。

4-9. Aaron and his sons thou shalt bring unto the door of the tabernacle--as occupying the intermediate space between the court where the people stood, and the dwelling-place of Israel's king, and therefore the fittest spot for the priests being duly prepared for entrance, and the people witnessing the ceremony of inauguration.
wash them with water. And . . . take the garments--The manner in which these parts of the ceremonial were performed is minutely described, and in discovering their symbolical import, which indeed, is sufficiently plain and obvious, we have inspired authority to guide us. It signified the necessity and importance of moral purity or holiness
(Isa 52:11; Joh 13:10; 2Co 7:1; 1Pe 3:21).
In like manner, the investiture with the holy garments signified their being clothed with righteousness
(Re 19:8)
and equipped as men active and well-prepared for the service of God; the anointing the high priest with oil denoted that he was to be filled with the influences of the Spirit, for the edification and delight of the church
(Le 10:7; Ps 45:7; Isa 61:1; 1Jo 2:27),
and as he was officially a type of Christ
(Heb 7:26; Joh 3:34;
also
Mt 3:16; 11:29).

10-22. 你要把一隻公牛牽到會幕前——這部分儀式包含三項祭：(1) 獻一隻公牛為贖罪祭；獻祭時，祭司受命按手在其祭牲的頭上，藉此動作表明對個人罪咎的自覺，並願其被悅納為代替性的滿足。(2) 獻一隻公綿羊為燔祭
（出 29:15-18）。
這公綿羊要全然焚燒，作為祭司將自己奉獻給上帝及其事奉的記號。贖罪祭要先獻上，然後才獻燔祭；因為罪愆未除之前，沒有可蒙悅納的事奉。(3) 還要有一個平安祭，稱為「承接聖職之祭的公綿羊」
（出 29:19-22）。
這另一隻公綿羊的處置方式有顯著的特點。前一隻是為上帝的榮耀——這一隻是為祭司自己的安慰；作為雙方盟約已經批准的記號，祭牲的血被分開——一部分灑在壇的四圍，一部分灑在祭司及其衣服上。不但如此，這血還以一個特殊的動作，被指示塗在身體的末端，藉此表明贖罪的益處將應用於人的整個本性。此外，這祭牲的肉要在上帝與祭司之間分領——一部分放在他手中搖一搖，作為獻給上帝的記號，然後在壇上焚燒；另一部分由祭司在會幕門口吃——那宴席是與上帝相交的象徵。這些儀式按所述的順序舉行，表明了祭司所需的資格
（見 來 7:26, 27；10:14）。

10-22. And thou shalt cause a bullock to be brought before the tabernacle--This part of the ceremonial consisted of three sacrifices: (1) The sacrifice of a bullock, as a sin offering; and in rendering it, the priest was directed to put his hand upon the head of his sacrifice, expressing by that act a consciousness of personal guilt, and a wish that it might be accepted as a vicarious satisfaction. (2) The sacrifice of a ram as a burnt offering
(Ex 29:15-18).
The ram was to be wholly burnt, in token of the priest's dedication of himself to God and His service. The sin offering was first to be presented, and then the burnt offering; for until guilt be removed, no acceptable service can be performed. (3) There was to be a peace offering, called "the ram of consecration"
(Ex 29:19-22).
And there was a marked peculiarity in the manner in which this other ram was to be disposed of. The former was for the glory of God--this was for the comfort of the priest himself; and as a sign of a mutual covenant being ratified, the blood of the sacrifice was divided--part sprinkled on the altar round about, and part upon the persons and garments of the priests. Nay, the blood was, by a singular act, directed to be put upon the extremities of the body, thereby signifying that the benefits of the atonement would be applied to the whole nature of man. Moreover, the flesh of this sacrifice was to be divided, as it were, between God and the priest--part of it to be put into his hand to be waved up and down, in token of its being offered to God, and then it was to be burnt upon the altar; the other part was to be eaten by the priests at the door of the tabernacle--that feast being a symbol of communion or fellowship with God. These ceremonies, performed in the order described, showed the qualifications necessary for the priests. (See
Heb 7:26, 27; 10:14).

35. 七天你要這樣使他們受聖職——在七日之中每日重複這些儀式，其間還有一個安息日作為間隔；這是明智的預備安排，以便有足夠的時間安靜、虔誠地反省
（來 9:1； 10:1）。
Original en inglés
35. seven days shalt thou consecrate them--The renewal of these ceremonies on the return of every day in the seven, with the intervention of a Sabbath, was a wise preparatory arrangement, in order to afford a sufficient interval for calm and devout reflection
(Heb 9:1; 10:1).

壇的分別為聖。
36. 你要潔淨壇——「你為壇贖罪」這話，應譯作贖罪在壇上；這吩咐的要旨是：他們在七日之中如上所述日復一日獻上所指定的祭物時，必須格外謹慎保持壇的潔淨——除盡灰燼，並按規定撒上膏油——以便在全部禮儀結束之時，壇本身也和在其上供職的祭司一樣，被分別為聖
（太 23:19）。 自此以後，壇便與宗教事奉相連。

Ex 29:36, 37.
CONSECRATION OF THE ALTAR.
36. 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
(Mt 23:19).
It was thenceforth associated with the services of religion.

出 29:38-46.
每日獻祭制度的設立。
38. 每天每年獻兩隻羊羔——神聖的預備既已完成，上帝便指示摩西這一切準備所服事的最終目的與設計，即：敬拜上帝；因此設立了早晚獻祭的制度。這制度的設立如此不可違抗，以至於無論在何種境況下，這每日的獻祭都不可廢除；而忠實遵行此例，便能確保天上的君王屢次應許的恩典與賜福。

Ex 29:38-46.
INSTITUTION OF DAILY SERVICE.
38. two lambs of the first year day by day continually--The sacred preliminaries being completed, Moses was instructed in the end or design to which these preparations were subservient, namely, the worship of God; and hence the institution of the morning and evening sacrifice. The institution was so imperative, that in no circumstances was this daily oblation to be dispensed with; and the due observance of it would secure the oft-promised grace and blessing of their heavenly King.
Ex 29:1-35.
將祭司與壇分別為聖。
1. 使他們成聖，給我供祭司的職分——設立祭司的行為，伴隨著儀式上的隆重，不但能使百姓對此職分產生崇高的觀感，也能使這些任職者本身深刻體認其重大與重要。簡言之，他們受教知道：這事奉既是為他們自己，也是為百姓；每一次重新履行其職責時，他們都被提醒自己在敬拜中的切身利益——因為在他們有資格作為百姓的代表獻祭之前，必須先為自己獻祭。
這就是你要行的事——一個社會在其創始階段所採取的步驟，在這社會體制全面運轉之後便不再重複；摩西在會幕啟用之際所履行的職能，在後來的時期會被視為褻瀆聖物、會被立即處死。但他是奉上帝特別的指示而行的。
