Commentary
3 notes on this verseThe other ram - There were two rams brought on this occasion: one was for a burnt-offering, and was to be entirely consumed; the other was the ram of consecration, Exo 29:22, איל מלאים eil milluim, the ram of filling up, because when a person was dedicated or consecrated to God, his hands were filled with some particular offering proper for the occasion, which he presented to God.
This site's exposition
thou shalt take the other ram
on Exodus 29:19-21
Blood goes on the tip of the right ear, the thumb of the right hand and the great toe of the right foot, so what a priest hears, handles and walks on is marked before he serves. Leviticus 8:23 and 8:24 record Moses doing it, and Leviticus 14:14 puts the same three marks on a leper being cleansed, the only other place in Scripture they appear. Blood from the altar and anointing oil are then sprinkled together on the men and on their clothes, so the two things used separately in this chapter are finally used at once.

And thou shall take the other ram,.... The other of the two that was left, Exo 29:1, and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands on the head of the ram, as they were to do, and did, upon the head of the other; See Gill on Exo 29:15.
