And Moſes ſaid unto the congregation, * This zs the thing which the LORD commanded to bs done.
6 And Moſes brought Aaron and his ſons, and waſhed them with water. : :
7 And he put upon him the coat c, and girded him with the girdle, and clothed him with the robe, and put the ephod upon him, and he girded him with the curious girdle of the. ephod, and bound #: unto him therewith.
c The linen Breeches preſcribed Exod. 28. 42. are not here men- tioned, becauſe rhey were not to be pur on at his Conſecration, bur afterwards in the execution of his Oihce.

| £ There were indeed ſeven Bullocks to be offered at his conſecra» tion, one every day, Exod: 29: 35, 36. but here he mentions only one, either by a common Ena!11ge of number, or bec2uſe he here deſcribes only the work of the firſt day, and leaves the reſt to be-ga- thered from it ; of which ſee wer. 33. |
15 And he ſlew zt, and Moſes took the blood, and put zt upon the horns of the altar round about, with his a. finger and purified the altar, and poured the blood art the bottom of the altar, and ſandtified it, tro make re- COnCliiation upon It,
16 And he took all the fat that was upon the inwards, and the caule abeve the liver, and the two kidneys, and their fat, and Moſes burned 3t upon the altar.
17, But the bullock, and his hide þ, his fleſh, and his dung, he burne with fire without the camp, as the LORD * commanded Moſes.
þ Which in the offerings for the people was not burnt, to the Prieſt.
13 C * And he brought the ram for the burnt-of- * Exod: fering: and Aaron and his ſons laid their hands upon 29 15: the. head of the ram. :
I9 And he z killed iz, and Moſes ſprinkled the blood upon the altar round about. |
# Either Moſes, as in the following Clauſe, the Pronoun being put for the Noun ; or ſome other perſon by Moſes his appointment ; which may be the reaſon why he is not named here; as he is to the ſprinkling of the blood, which was anA&ion more proper te thePrieſt, and more eſſential to the Sacrifice, as the Learned have obſerved.
