Leviticus 8:27 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 8:27

And he put all upon Aaron's hands, and upon his son's hands,
&c.] The fat and the right shoulder, with the cakes upon them:

and waved them [for] a wave offering before the Lord;
(See Gill on Exodus 29:24).

Leviticus 8:27 In-Context

25 And he took the fat, and the fat tail, and all the fat that was on the inwards, and the net of the liver, and the two kidneys and their fat, and the right shoulder;
26 and out of the basket of unleavened bread that was before Jehovah he took one unleavened cake, and a cake of oiled bread, and one wafer, and put them on the fat and upon the right shoulder;
27 and he gave all into Aaron's hands, and into his sons' hands, and waved them as a wave-offering before Jehovah.
28 And Moses took them from off their hands, and burned [them] on the altar, over the burnt-offering: they were a consecration-offering for a sweet odour: it was an offering by fire to Jehovah.
29 And Moses took the breast, and waved it as a wave-offering before Jehovah; of the ram of consecration it was Moses' part; as Jehovah had commanded Moses.

  • [a]. My impression is that 'wave-offering' is more 'consecration;' see Ex. 29.24: and 'heave-offering' more 'offering;' see Ex. 25.2,3.
