Commentary for Exodus 29:41
1. **Themes:**
- **Sacrifice and Atonement:** The verse emphasizes the ritual of sacrifice as a means of atoning for sins and maintaining a relationship with God. The offering of a lamb in the evening mirrors the morning sacrifice, highlighting the daily commitment to worship and reconciliation with the Divine.
- **Regularity of Worship:** The instructions for the evening sacrifice underscore the theme of consistent and regular worship. The Israelites are commanded to offer sacrifices twice a day, indicating the importance of dedicating specific times for worship and acknowledging God's sovereignty throughout the day.
- **Pleasing Aroma:** The concept of a "sweet savour" suggests that the sacrifice, when done in faith and obedience, is pleasing to God. This metaphorically represents the acceptable and fragrant nature of faithful obedience.
- **Communion with God:** The sacrifice is also a means of fellowship with God. By following the prescribed rituals, the people enter into the presence of the Lord, symbolizing their desire for a close relationship with Him.
2. **Historical Context:**
- **Mosaic Law and Priesthood:** Exodus 29:41 is part of the detailed instructions given to Moses regarding the consecration of Aaron and his sons as priests. These rituals were foundational to the establishment of the priesthood and the sacrificial system in ancient Israel.
- **The Tabernacle:** The verse is set within the context of the newly constructed Tabernacle, which was the portable dwelling place of God among the Israelites during their wilderness wanderings. The sacrifices described were part of the daily temple service that would later be continued in the permanent Temple in Jerusalem.
- **Covenantal Relationship:** The sacrificial system was a key component of the Mosaic covenant between God and Israel. The meticulous observance of these rituals was a sign of the people's commitment to the covenant and their recognition of God's holiness and lordship.
- **Prefiguration of Christ:** In the broader context of Christian theology, these Old Testament sacrifices are seen as prefigurations of the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Christians believe that Christ's death on the cross fulfilled the requirements of the law and rendered the old sacrificial system obsolete, offering a new and living way for believers to approach God (Hebrews 10:20).
In summary, Exodus 29:41 reflects the themes of sacrificial worship, the importance of regular communion with God, and the establishment of the priesthood within the historical context of the Mosaic covenant and the Tabernacle worship. It also foreshadows the complete and final atonement that Christians believe is accomplished through Jesus Christ.
