Exodus 29:23 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 29:23

And one loaf of bread
Of unleavened bread, as in ( Exodus 29:2 ) large bread is meant, as Ben Melech observes, for the rest were cakes and wafers, as follows:

and one cake of oiled bread;
which was made of flour and oil mixed and tempered together:

and one wafer out of the basket of unleavened bread;
which was anointed with oil and crossed, as the Jewish writers say:

that [is] before the Lord;
which basket of unleavened bread, cakes, and wafers, was set in the court of the tabernacle, and so said to be before the Lord, being devoted to whatever use he should assign them, being by his orders brought thither.

Exodus 29:23 In-Context

21 And you shall take some of the blood that is on the altar, and some of the anointing oil, and sprinkle it on Aaron and on his garments, on his sons and on the garments of his sons with him; and he and his garments shall be hallowed, and his sons and his sons' garments with him.

22 Also you shall take the fat of the ram, the fat tail, the fat that covers the entrails, the fatty lobe attached to the liver, the two kidneys and the fat on them, the right thigh (for it is a ram of consecration),

23 one loaf of bread, one cake made with oil, and one wafer from the basket of the unleavened bread that is before the Lord;

24 and you shall put all these in the hands of Aaron and in the hands of his sons, and you shall wave them as a wave offering before the Lord.

25 You shall receive them back from their hands and burn them on the altar as a burnt offering, as a sweet aroma before the Lord. It is an offering made by fire to the Lord.
