Exodus 29:12 Summary

[Exodus 29:12 shows us that God is very serious about sin and wants us to be clean and pure before Him, which is why the blood of the bull was used to purify the altar, just like Jesus' blood cleanses us from sin (1 John 1:7). The blood on the horns of the altar reminds us that our sins have consequences, but God provides a way for us to be forgiven and made right with Him, as seen in Romans 3:25 and Hebrews 9:22. This verse teaches us that worship is not just about what we feel or want, but about obeying God's commands and following His instructions carefully, as stated in Deuteronomy 12:32 and Revelation 22:18-19.]

Gill's Exposition on Exodus 29:12

And thou shalt take the blood of the bullock,.... Being slain, and its blood received into a basin: and put it upon the horns of the altar with thy finger; not sprinkle it with hyssop, as was done in

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Exodus 29:12

And thou shalt kill the bullock before the LORD, by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. No JFB commentary on these verses.

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Exodus 29:12

Upon the horns of the altar; not of incense, as some would have it, but of the burnt-offerings, as may appear, 1. Because it was that altar at the bottom whereof the blood was to be poured, as it is here expressed; but that was not done at the altar of incense, as is evident and confessed. Compare , &c. 2. It was that altar upon which the parts of the sacrifices were burnt, as it here follows, , for there is no distinction here between the two altars. It is true, in the following sin-offerings of the priests the blood was put upon the horns of the altar of incense, . But it must be considered, 1. That the blood was not poured out at the bottom of that altar. 2. Because Aaron and his sons were not yet complete priests, but private persons, and therefore did this at the same altar which the people used in their sin-offerings, ,30.

Trapp's Commentary on Exodus 29:12

Exodus 29:12 And thou shalt take of the blood of the bullock, and put [it] upon the horns of the altar with thy finger, and pour all the blood beside the bottom of the altar.Ver. 12. The blood of the bullock.] For "without blood there was no remission of sin." Beside the bottom of the altar.] To signify the plenteous redemption wrought by Christ.

Ellicott's Commentary on Exodus 29:12

(12) Thou shalt take of the blood . . . and put it upon the horns of the altar.—It has been already noticed that the virtue of the altar was considered to reside especially in its horns; hence fugitives clung to them (1 Kings 1:50; 1 Kings 2:28). In all sin offerings it was required (1) That some of the victim’s blood should be smeared upon the altar’s horns; and (2) That the remainder should be poured at its base (Leviticus 4:7; Leviticus 4:18; Leviticus 4:30; Leviticus 4:34).

Cambridge Bible on Exodus 29:12

12. The Hebrew regarded the blood as the seat of the ‘soul,’ or principle of life; and it was in virtue of the ‘soul’ that was in it, that it made atonement (see Leviticus 17:11). By its application to the horns of the altar (cf. Leviticus 4:25; Leviticus 4:30; Leviticus 4:34),—as in other cases to those of the altar of incense, or to the mercy-seat (Leviticus 4:7; Leviticus 4:18; Leviticus 16:14-15),—it was brought near to Jehovah. upon the horns (Exodus 27:2) of the altar] i.e. of the altar of burnt-offering (Exodus 27:1 ff.), exactly as in the cases of the sin-offering for laymen specified in Leviticus 4:25; Leviticus 4:30; Leviticus 4:34 (contrast Exodus 29:6 f., Exodus 29:17 f.): the priests, before their consecration is completed, are treated as laity. at the base of the altar] as in the ordinary sin-offering, Leviticus 4:7; Leviticus 4:18; Leviticus 4:25; Leviticus 4:30; Leviticus 4:34; cf. Leviticus 5:9; Leviticus 8:15 (the parallel to the present passage), Exodus 9:9. The ‘base’ (lit. foundation) of the altar is mentioned only in these passages. On the additions in Leviticus 8:15, respecting the atonement made for the altar, see below, on v. 36.

Whedon's Commentary on Exodus 29:12

12. Put it upon the horns of the altar — Thus sanctifying the altar itself that it might in turn sanctify the offerings put thereon.
