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 Then Aaron's sons were brought forward and Moses smeared some of the blood on the lobes of their right ears, on the thumbs of their right hands, and on the big toes of their right feet. Moses threw the remaining blood against each side of the Altar.
25 He took the fat, the fat tail, all the fat that was on the entrails, the lobe of the liver, the two kidneys with their fat, and the right thigh.
26 From the basket of unraised bread that was in the presence of God he took one loaf of the unraised bread made with oil and one wafer. He placed these on the fat portions and the right thigh.
27 He put all this in the hands of Aaron and his sons who waved them before God as a Wave-Offering.
28 Then Moses took it all back from their hands and burned them on the Altar on top of the Whole-Burnt-Offering. These were the Ordination-Offerings, a pleasing fragrance to God, a gift to God.
