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 He offered also the sons of Aaron: and when with the blood of the ram that was immolated, he had touched the tip of the right ear of every one of them, and the thumbs of their right hands, and the great toes of their right feet, the rest he poured on the altar round about.
25 But the fat, and the rump, and all the fat that covereth the entrails, and the caul of the liver, and the two kidneys with their fat, and with the right shoulder, he separated.
26 And taking out of the basket of unleavened bread, which was before the Lord, a loaf without leaven, and a cake tempered with oil and a wafer, he put them upon the fat, and the right shoulder:
27 Delivering all to Aaron, and to his sons. Who having lifted them up before the Lord,
28 He took them again from their hands, and burnt them upon the altar of holocaust: because it was the oblation of consecration, for a sweet odour of sacrifice to the Lord.
