Reading for September 10th

 Instructions for the ordination of priests. In 29.1-46: These instructions for ordination are carried out when Aaron and his sons are formally set apart as priests in Lev 8-9. Blood is considered a sacred substance with power to purify and make holy (Lev 17.11) Thus, blood plays an important role in purifying the priests and altar throughout this section.

Read Exodus 29.1-46. In verses 33-37: To consecrate the priests means to set them apart in a formal ceremony for special service. In verse 40: A measure is an ephah, which is equivalent to about 20 liters. A hin is one-sixth of an ephah about 3 liters. Comments or Questions..
