Context of Exodus 29:25
23Also take one loaf of bread, one cake of oiled bread, and one wafer out of the basket of matzot that is before Adonai. 24You are to put the entirety into Aaron’s hands and the hands of his sons, and present them as a wave offering before Adonai. Then you are to take them out of their hands and offer them up in smoke on the altar on top of the burnt offering, as a sweet aroma before Adonai, an offering made by fire to Adonai. 26Also take the breast of Aaron’s ram of consecration and wave it as a wave offering before Adonai—so it will be your portion. 27“Set apart the breast of the wave offering and the thigh of the contribution, which is waved and offered up, from the ram of consecration, including what belongs 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.
