Exodus 29:34 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 29:34

And if ought of the flesh of the consecrations, or of the
bread, remain unto the morning
Being more than the priests could eat:

then thou shalt burn the remainder with fire;
that it might not be used in a contemptuous manner, or abused to superstitious uses; the same orders with those respecting what was left of the passover: ( Exodus 12:10 ) ,

it shall not be eaten, because it is holy;
which is the reason before given why it should not be eaten by a stranger, and being kept till the next morning it was ordered to be burnt, that it might not then be eaten at all; it was not to be given to a stranger, nor to be cast to dogs, because it had been devoted to sacred uses; and it seems as if it was not to be eaten by the priests themselves the next day, who were to live upon the daily provision made for them.

32 Aharon and his sons will eat the ram's meat and the bread in the basket at the entrance to the tent of meeting.

33 They are to eat the things with which atonement was made for them, to inaugurate and consecrate them; no one else may eat this food, because it is holy.

34 If any of the meat for the consecration or any of the bread remains until morning, burn up what remains; it is not to be eaten, because it is holy.
