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 ) .

Exodus 29:31 In-Context

29 "Aaron's sacred garments are to be handed down to his descendants so they can be anointed and ordained in them.
30 The son who succeeds him as priest is to wear them for seven days and enter the Tent of Meeting to minister in the Holy Place.
31 "Take the ordination ram and boil the meat in the Holy Place.
32 At the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, Aaron and his sons will eat the boiled ram and the bread that is in the basket.
33 Atoned by these offerings, ordained and consecrated by them, they are the only ones who are to eat them. No outsiders are to eat them; they're holy.
