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. 亚伦和他儿子带到会幕门前——因这地位处百姓站立的院子与以色列君王居所之间,故为祭司正式预备入内、并由百姓观礼就职之处,最为适宜。
用水洗了,然后……把衣冠给他们——这些礼仪部分的执行方式都有详尽的描述;至于其象征意义——其实已相当明显——我们更有灵感之权威作引导。它表明了道德纯洁或圣洁的必要与重要性
(赛 52:11; 约 13:10; 林后 7:1; 彼前 3:21)。
照样,穿上圣服象征他们披上了义
(启 19:8),
并装备齐全,积极而妥善地预备服事神;膏大祭司以油,表明他必充满圣灵的感动,为要建立并使教会喜乐
(利 10:7; 诗 45:7; 赛 61:1; 约壹 2:27),
因为他在职分上是基督的预表
(来 7:26; 约 3:34;
另见
太 3:16; 11:29)。
英文原文
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. 你要把公牛牵到会幕前——这部分礼仪由三个祭组成:(1)献一只公牛为赎罪祭;献之时,祭司受指示要按手在祭牲头上,以此表明自知有罪,并愿它被悦纳作为代替的赎罪。(2)献一只公绵羊为燔祭
(出 29:15-18)。
这羊要全然焚烧,表明祭司将自己奉献给神和祂的服事。赎罪祭当先献上,然后献燔祭;因为罪愆未除之前,无可悦纳的事奉。(3)还要献一个平安祭,称为「承接圣职之公绵羊」
(出 29:19-22)。
这第二只公绵羊的处理方式有一显著的特点。前一只为神的荣耀——这一只为祭司自己的安慰;作为盟约批准的记号,祭牲的血被分为二——一部分洒在坛的四围,一部分洒在祭司们的身上和衣服上。不但如此,这血更借一独特的举动,被命定抹在身体的末端,借此表明赎罪的恩益将应用于人的全性。此外,这祭牲的肉也要仿佛在神与祭司之间分为二——一部分放在他手中摇一摇,表明是献给神的,然后要在坛上焚烧;另一部分由祭司在会幕门前吃——那筵席是与会中相交或团契的象征。这些礼仪按所述的次序举行,表明了祭司所必备的资格。(见
来 7:26, 27; 10:14)。
英文原文
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. 你要这样七天给他们承接圣职——这七天之内每天重复这些仪式,期间还隔着一个安息日,是明智的预备性安排,为要提供足够的间隔,使他们能冷静而虔诚地反思
(来 9:1; 10:1)。
英文原文
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).

出 29:36, 37.
祭坛的分别为圣
36. 你要洁净坛——「你为坛赎罪之时」一句中,「之时」应作「在其上」;这吩咐的意思是,当他们在上述日子中日复一日献所指定的祭时,必须极其小心地保持坛的洁净——清除灰烬,并按所规定的膏油洒在其上,使全部礼仪完毕时,坛本身也如同在其上事奉的祭司一样,被分别为圣
(太 23:19)。
从此以后,坛便与宗教的事奉紧密相连。
英文原文
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.
每日献祭之礼的设立
38. 每日早晚……一岁的羊羔——神圣的预备既已完成,摩西便受教于这些预备所要达成的目的,即对神的敬拜;因此设立了早晚的献祭。这条例如此不可妥协,无论何种境况,这每日的献祭都不可废止;而忠实地遵守,就能确保他们天上君王屡次应许的恩典和赐福。
英文原文
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.
出埃及记 29:1-35.
分别为圣 祭司与 祭坛
1. 给他们承接圣职,好供祭司的职分——就职祭司的仪式,伴随着庄严的礼仪,这不仅能引导百姓对这职分有崇高的认识,更能使这些职事本身对其重大与重要性有深刻的感受。简言之,他们被教导要知道,这服事既是关乎他们自己的,也是关乎百姓的;每当他们重新履行职务时,都被提醒自己在这敬拜中也有分,因为他们必须先为自己献祭,然后才有资格代表百姓献祭。
这就是你要行的事——一个团体在初创时所采取的步骤,等到这社会机器运转纯熟之后便不会重复;摩西在设立会幕之时所执行的职务,在后来的时代将被视为亵渎圣物,并要被立即处死。但他乃是在神特别的指示之下行动的。
