Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Exodus 29:35

THE SEVENFOLD REPETITION OF THE CONSECRATION CEREMONIAL.

(35) Seven days shalt thou consecrate them. — The number seven possessed an ideal completeness, resting on the primeval facts of creation (Genesis 1:2). It is the number almost exclusively used under the old covenant, when acts are to attain their result by repetition. (See Leviticus 4:6; Leviticus 4:17; Leviticus 8:11; Leviticus 14:7; Leviticus 16:14; Numbers 19:4; Joshua 6:4; 1 Kings 18:43; 2 Kings 5:10; Psalms 119:164; &c.) Here we are to understand a sevenfold repetition of the entire ceremonial of consecration. (See Leviticus 8:33.)
