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 on the altar and some of the anointing oil and sprinkle them on Aaron and on his clothes and on his sons and on his sons' clothes. In this way, Aaron, his sons, and all their priestly garments will be holy.

22 Take the fatty parts of the ram: the fat tail, the fat around the inner organs, the lobe of the liver, the two kidneys with the fat around them, and the right thigh (because it is a ram for ordination).

23 Add one loaf of bread, one flatbread made with oil, and one wafer from the basket of unleavened bread that was presented to the LORD.

24 Place all of these in the hands of Aaron and his sons, and lift them as an uplifted offering in the LORD's presence.

25 Then take them from their hands and turn them into smoke by burning them on the altar with the entirely burned offering as a soothing smell in the LORD's presence. It is a food gift for the LORD.
