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 ) .
