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 Take some of the blood that is on the altar and some of the anointing oil, and sprinkle [them] on Aaron and his garments, as well as on his sons and their garments. In this way, he and his garments will become holy, as well as his sons and their garments.

22 "Take the fat from the ram, the fat tail, the fat covering the entrails, the fatty lobe of the liver, the two kidneys and the fat on them, and the right thigh (since this is a ram for ordination);

23 take one loaf of bread, one cake of bread [made] with oil, and one wafer from the basket of unleavened bread that is before the Lord;

24 and put all of them in the hands of Aaron and his sons and wave them as a presentation offering before the Lord.

25 Take them from their hands and burn [them] on the altar on top of the burnt offering, as a pleasing aroma before the Lord; it is a fire offering to the Lord.
