Instructions for the ordination of priests
In 29.1-46: these instructions for ordination are carried out when Aron 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 the altar throughout this section.
Read Exodus 29.1-49
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.
