EXODUS 29:44 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And I will sanctify the tabernacle of the congregation, and the altar: I will sanctify also both Aaron and his sons, to minister to me in the priest’s office.”
So I will consecrate the tent of meeting and the altar and will consecrate Aaron and his sons to serve me as priests. God will consecrate all three: the tent, the altar, and the priests. The divine consecration is the foundation of all human consecration: the water, oil, and blood that the ordination ceremony uses are the means; God's act is the consecration itself. Hebrews 9:11–12 says Christ entered the greater and more perfect tabernacle — the tabernacle and priesthood that God consecrated through the ordination ceremonies are the type of the perfect sanctuary and perfect priest that Christ provides.
