Leviticus 8:29

29 tulit et pectusculum elevans illud coram Domino de ariete consecrationis in partem suam sicut praeceperat ei Dominus

Leviticus 8:29 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 8:29

And Moses took the breast
Of the ram of consecration:

and waved it for a wave offering before the Lord;
this Moses seems to have waved with his own hands, and not upon the hands of Aaron and his sons, putting his under them, as in the wave offering of the fat, shoulder, and cakes, and for which the following words seem to give a reason:

[for] of the ram of consecration it was Moses's part;
the breast of it was his:

as the Lord commanded Moses;
see ( Exodus 29:26 ) .

Leviticus 8:29 In-Context

27 tradens simul omnia Aaron et filiis eius qui postquam levaverunt ea coram Domino

28 rursum suscepta de manibus eorum adolevit super altare holocausti eo quod consecrationis esset oblatio in odorem suavitatis sacrificii Domini

29 tulit et pectusculum elevans illud coram Domino de ariete consecrationis in partem suam sicut praeceperat ei Dominus

30 adsumensque unguentum et sanguinem qui erat in altari aspersit super Aaron et vestimenta eius et super filios illius ac vestes eorum

31 cumque sanctificasset eos in vestitu suo praecepit eis dicens coquite carnes ante fores tabernaculi et ibi comedite eas panes quoque consecrationis edite qui positi sunt in canistro sicut praecepit mihi dicens Aaron et filii eius comedent eos
