Commentary on the Bible · Written before 1832.

The 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

Take the second ram

on Exodus 29:19-21

Blood goes on “the right earlobes,” “the thumbs of their right hands,” and “the big toes of their right feet”. What a priest hears, handles and walks on is marked, and Leviticus 14:14 puts the same marks on a cleansed leper.

The record, by era

The Puritans and the Awakening1 voice

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.
