Leviticus 8:29 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 8:29

And Moses took the breast
Of the ram of consecration:

and waved it for a wave offering before the Lord;
this Moses seems to have waved with his own hands, and not upon the hands of Aaron and his sons, putting his under them, as in the wave offering of the fat, shoulder, and cakes, and for which the following words seem to give a reason:

[for] of the ram of consecration it was Moses's part;
the breast of it was his:

as the Lord commanded Moses;
see ( Exodus 29:26 ) .

Leviticus 8:29 In-Context

27 All these things he put in the hands of Aaron and his sons and presented them as an offering before the Lord.

28 Then Moses took them from their hands and burned them on the altar on top of the burnt offering. So this was the offering for appointing Aaron and his sons as priests. It was an offering made by fire to the Lord, and its smell was pleasing to him.

29 Moses also took the breast and presented it as an offering before the Lord. It was Moses' share of the male sheep used in appointing the priests, as the Lord had commanded him.

30 Moses took some of the special oil and some of the blood which was on the altar, and he sprinkled them on Aaron and Aaron's clothes and on Aaron's sons and their clothes. In this way Moses made Aaron, his clothes, his sons, and their clothes holy for the Lord.

31 Then Moses said to Aaron and his sons, "I gave you a command, saying, 'Aaron and his sons will eat these things.' So take the meat and basket of bread from the offering for appointing priests. Boil the meat at the door of the Meeting Tent, and eat it there with the bread.
