Read Exodus 29 in context

Scripture Focus

21And 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.

Exodus 29:21

Biblical Context

Exodus 29:21 commands sprinkling blood from the altar and the anointing oil on Aaron, his garments, and his sons to consecrate them.

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through the inner-eye, the blood and the anointing oil are not literal substances to be sprinkled on bodies, but symbols of your life and spirit entering a new state of consciousness. Aaron represents your essential I AM—the eternal you that is already holy. The blood from the altar is the vitality you claim from divine source; the oil is the Spirit that animates thought, feeling, and action. When you imagine sprinkling these on Aaron, on his garments, and on his sons, you are not performing a ritual on others; you are performing a revision in your own mind: you are declaring that your outward expressions—your garments—are sanctified by the inward reality. This is covenant loyalty: a decision that you align every facet of your life with the divine presence. Fear, guilt, or separation fall away as the sense of separation dissolves in awareness of I AM. Holiness becomes a living state you inhabit, not a distant rule. In this way, the verse teaches you to embody sanctification by assumption and feeling as real now.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes and, in vivid imagination, spray the life-blood and sacred oil over yourself, your garments (your thoughts and actions), and your 'sons' (your faculties). Feel you are already hallowed.
