Éxodo 29:17 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 29:17

And thou shalt cut the ram in pieces
For the better convenience of laying it upon the wood on the altar, that it might be burnt; for it was to be a whole burnt offering:

and wash the inwards of him, and his legs;
denoting the purity of the sacrifice of Christ, and that when his people give up themselves to God as a whole burnt offering, in the flames of love and zeal, their affections should be pure and sincere:

and put [them] unto his pieces, and unto his head;
lay them together, so that they might be entirely consumed at once; signifying that Christ was both in soul and body an offering and a sacrifice of a sweet smelling savour to God; zeal for the honour of whose house, and the glory of his name, ate him up, as well as the fire of divine wrath; and so our whole souls, bodies and spirits, should be presented to the Lord as a holy, living, and acceptable sacrifice to him, which is more strongly suggested in the next verse.

Éxodo 29:17 In-Context

15 »Acto seguido, Aarón y sus hijos deberán poner las manos sobre la cabeza de uno de los carneros.

16 Luego matarás al carnero y salpicarás la sangre por todos los lados del altar.

17 Corta el carnero en pedazos y lava las vísceras y las patas. Colócalas junto a la cabeza y a los demás pedazos del cuerpo;

18 después quema todo el animal sobre el altar. Esta es una ofrenda quemada al Señor
; es un aroma agradable, una ofrenda especial presentada al Señor
.

19 »Luego toma el otro carnero, y haz que Aarón y sus hijos pongan las manos sobre la cabeza del animal.
