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 Then take some of the blood from the altar and some of the anointing oil, and sprinkle it on Aaron and his sons and on their garments. In this way, they and their garments will be set apart as holy.

22 “Since this is the ram for the ordination of Aaron and his sons, take the fat of the ram, including the fat of the broad tail, the fat around the internal organs, the long lobe of the liver, and the two kidneys and the fat around them, along with the right thigh.

23 Then take one round loaf of bread, one thin cake mixed with olive oil, and one wafer from the basket of bread without yeast that was placed in the LORD ’s presence.

24 Put all these in the hands of Aaron and his sons to be lifted up as a special offering to the LORD .

25 Afterward take the various breads from their hands, and burn them on the altar along with the burnt offering. It is a pleasing aroma to the LORD, a special gift for him.
