Context of Exodus 29:25

23From the basket of unleavened bread which is in the Lord’s presence, take a round loaf of bread, a ring of bread made with olive oil, and a wafer. 24Put all of these in the hands of Aaron and his sons, who will offer them to the Lord. Then take them from their hands, and burn them on the altar on top of the burnt offering. It’s a soothing aroma in the Lord’s presence, an offering by fire to the Lord. 26“Take the breast from the ram used for Aaron’s ordination, and present it to the Lord. This will be your share. 27Set apart as holy the breast that is offered to the Lord and the thigh that is the contribution. Both will come from the ram used for the ordination. They both belong to Aaron and his sons.

Commentaries on Exodus 29:25

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 25Thou shalt receive them of their hands - Aaron and his sons are here considered merely as any common persons bringing an offering to God, and not having, as yet, any authority to present it themselves, but through the medium of a priest. Moses, therefore, was now to Aaron and his sons what they were afterwards to the children of Israel; and as the minister of God he now consecrates them to the sacred office, and presents their offerings to Jehovah.Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 1-37Verses 1-37 The consecration of the priests. See the notes to Exodus 29:4 Door of the tabernacle - Entrance of the tent. See Leviticus 8:3.

Exodus 29:33 A stranger - One of another family, i. e. in this case, one not of the family of Aaron.Read the comment

In short, they were taught to know that the service was for them as well as for the people; and every time they engaged in a new…Read the comment
