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 Next Aharon's sons were brought, and Moshe put some of the blood on the tips of their right ears, on the thumbs of their right hands, and on the big toes of their right feet; then Moshe splashed the blood on all sides of the altar.
25 He took the fat, the fat tail, all the fat covering the inner organs, the covering of the liver, the two kidneys with their fat, and the right thigh.
26 From the basket of matzah that was before ADONAI he took one piece of matzah, one cake of oiled bread, and one wafer, and placed them on the fat and on the right thigh.
27 Then he put it all in Aharon's hands and in the hands of his sons and waved them as a wave offering before ADONAI.
28 Moshe took them out of their hands and made them go up in smoke on the altar on top of the burnt offering; they were a consecration offering giving a fragrant aroma; an offering made by fire to ADONAI.
