Context of Exodus 29:30

28It is a permanent law that the Israelites give this portion to Aaron and his sons as a contribution. This will also be their contribution to the Lord from the fellowship offerings. 29“Aaron’s holy clothes will belong to his descendants so that they can be anointed and ordained in them. The son who succeeds him as priest—the one who goes into the tent of meeting to serve in the holy place—will wear them for seven days. 31“Take the ram used for the ordination, and boil its meat in a holy place. 32At the entrance to the tent of meeting, Aaron and his sons will eat the meat of the ram and the bread ⌞left⌟ in the basket.

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 30Seven days - The priest in his consecration was to abide seven days and nights at the door of the tabernacle, keeping the Lord's watch.
