Exodus 29:31 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 29:31

And thou shalt take the ram of the consecration
For the other ram was cut in pieces and burnt, even the whole of it:

and seethe his flesh in the holy place;
not in that part of the tabernacle which was properly the holy place, as distinguished from the holy of holies, and from the court of the tabernacle; for in that there was no convenience for boiling, but in the court of the tabernacle of the congregation, even at the door of it, as in ( Leviticus 8:31 ) ( Ezekiel 46:19-24 ) .

Exodus 29:31 In-Context

29 Forsooth the sons of Aaron shall have after him the holy cloth(es), which Aaron shall use, that they be anointed therein, and that their hands be (made) sacred. (And the holy clothes which Aaron shall wear, shall belong to his sons after him, and they shall be anointed, and consecrated, in them.)

30 That of his sons, that shall be made bishop for him, shall use that cloak (for) seven days, and which son shall enter into the tabernacle of witnessing, that he minister in the saintuary. (He of his sons, who shall be made the High Priest after him, and shall enter into the Tabernacle of the Witnessing to minister in the sanctuary, shall wear those clothes for seven days.)

31 And soothly thou shalt take the wether of hallowing, that is, the ram of consecration, and thou shalt seethe his flesh in the holy place,

32 which flesh Aaron and his sons shall eat, and they shall eat the loaves, that be in the basket, in the porch of the tabernacle of witnessing, (and Aaron and his sons shall eat the ram's flesh, and the loaves that be in the basket, at the entrance to the Tabernacle of the Witnessing.)

33 that it be a pleasing sacrifice, and that the hands of the offerers be hallowed. An alien shall not eat of these things, for they be holy. (They shall eat those things that be offered when they be consecrated. But a stranger, that is, any unqualified person, shall not eat any of these things, for they be holy.)
