Leviticus 8:26 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 8:26

And out of the basket of unleavened bread
Moses was ordered to take, ( Leviticus 8:2 ) ,

that [was] before the Lord;
being brought to the tabernacle, where now the Lord had taken up his residence:

he took one unleavened cake;
which had no oil in it or upon it:

and a cake of oiled bread;
which was mixed and tempered with oil:

and one wafer;
which was anointed with oil:

and put them upon the fat, and upon the right shoulder;
of the ram of consecration, which he took from it, and laid the cakes uppermost upon them.

Leviticus 8:26 In-Context

24 Moses also presented Aaron's sons and put some of the blood on their right earlobes, on the thumbs of their right hands, and on the big toes of their right feet. Then Moses sprinkled the blood on all sides of the altar.

25 He took the fat-the fat tail, all the fat that was on the entrails, the fatty lobe of the liver, and the two kidneys with their fat-as well as the right thigh.

26 From the basket of unleavened bread that was before the Lord he took one cake of unleavened bread, one cake of bread [made] with oil, and one wafer, and placed [them] on the fat portions and the right thigh.

27 He put all [these] in the hands of Aaron and his sons and waved them before the Lord as a presentation offering.

28 Then Moses took them from their hands and burned [them] on the altar with the burnt offering. This was an ordination offering for a pleasing aroma, a fire offering to the Lord.
