Book of Exodus - Chapter 29 - Verse 21

29:21
And thou shalt take of the blood that is upon the altar, and of the anointing oil, and sprinkle it upon Aaron, and upon his garments, and upon his sons, and upon the garments of his sons with him: and he shall be hallowed, and his garments, and his sons, and his sons' garments with him.

Meaning

In this verse, the Lord commands Moses to take some of the blood from the altar and mix it with the anointing oil. This mixture is then to be sprinkled on Aaron, his sons, and their garments. This act of sprinkling the blood and oil mixture on the priests and their clothing symbolizes the consecration and sanctification of Aaron and his sons for their roles as high priests in the service of the Lord. By being anointed with this sacred mixture, Aaron and his sons are set apart and made holy for their service in the tabernacle. This ritual of anointing with blood and oil represents the purification and dedication of the priests, marking them as chosen vessels for carrying out the sacred duties within the tabernacle. It serves as a reminder of the importance of holiness, separation, and consecration for those who are appointed to serve in the presence of the Lord.
