EXODUS 29:21 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“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.”
And take some of the blood on the altar and some of the anointing oil and sprinkle it on Aaron and his garments and on his sons and their garments. Then he and his sons and their garments will be consecrated. The sprinkling of blood mixed with anointing oil on the priests and their garments is the completion of their consecration. The blood that has marked the ear, thumb, and toe is now combined with the oil that anointed the high priest's head and sprinkled over everything and everyone. The combination of blood and oil — atonement and consecration — creates the double consecration: the priests are consecrated by blood (atonement for sin) and by oil (gift of the Spirit). The two elements that together make the priestly service possible are the two elements of the new covenant: the blood of Christ and the anointing of the Spirit.
