Context of Exodus 29:28

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. It is to belong to Aaron and his sons as their due share forever from Bnei-Yisrael, because it is a contribution. It is to be a contribution from Bnei-Yisrael from their sacrifices of fellowship offerings, their contribution to Adonai. 29“The holy garments of Aaron are to pass to his sons after him, to be anointed in them and to be consecrated in them. 30The son that succeeds him as kohen, who comes into the Tent of Meeting to minister in the holy place, is to put them on for seven days.
