EATING OF THE SACRIFICES (Exodus 29:31-34):"And thou shalt take the ram of consecration, and boil its flesh in a holy place. And Aaron and his sons shall eat the flesh of the ram, and the bread that is in the basket, at the door of the tent of meeting. And they shall eat those things wherewith atonement was made, to consecrate and to sanctify them: but a stranger shall not eat thereof, because they are holy. And if aught of the flesh of the consecration, or of the bread, remain unto the... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Exodus 29:33

Exodus 29:33. And they shall eat those things, &c.— Some are for rendering this, they, for whom the atonement was made, to consecrate, &c. shall eat those things: but, as this second ram is peculiarly called the ram of consecration, I should rather think our translation just, especially as each of these sacrifices may be considered in some degree as expiatory; their hands were laid upon the head of each of them. By stranger, in this verse, must be meant one who was not of the sacerdotal... read more

7. The consecration of the priests 29:1-37The Israelites carried out the instructions given here later. The record of this seven-day ritual appears in Leviticus 8. I shall defer comment since Moses explained the offerings and procedures specified in this chapter more fully in Leviticus. The facts that God specified this ceremony in such detail and Moses recorded it at such length point to its importance for Israel."To Israel had been granted the privilege of being a special people; to Aaron and... read more

THE FEAST UPON THE CONSECRATION OFFERINGS.(31-34) The writer having digressed in Exodus 29:27 from his main subject (the consecration of Aaron and his sons) to the consideration of certain permanent laws which arose out of the occasion, returns to his main subject at this point, and records the directions which he received with respect to the feast that followed, as a matter of course, on the consecration sacrifice. The parts of the victim neither consumed on the altar nor assigned to the... read more

Exodus 29:45 So long as there is in man's heart one fibre to vibrate at the sound of what is just and true and honourable, so long as the instinctively pure soul prefers purity to life, so long as friends of truth are to be found who are ready to sacrifice their peace in the cause of science, friends of righteousness ready to devote themselves to holy and useful works of mercy, womanly hearts to love whatsoever is good, beautiful, and pure, and artists to express it by sound and colour and... read more

If God, we are asked, has called one to special service, is not that enough? What more can earth do to commission the chosen of the sky? But the plain answer which we ought to have the courage... read more
