Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Exodus 29:22

Exodus 29:22. The right-shoulder; for it is a ram of consecration— See Exodus 29:27-28. A ram of consecration, in the Hebrew, is a ram of fillings; for the meaning of which, see note on Exodus 29:9. The right-shoulder in peace-offerings belonged to the priest, Lev 7:32 but as they, who were now consecrating, were not yet priests, it was to be burnt upon the altar. The rump here spoken of, means the remarkably large and fat tail which the eastern sheep bear, and which are sometimes of very... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Exodus 29:1-37

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

(22) Thou shalt take of the ram the fat . . . —These were the portions commonly burnt upon the altar in the case of peace offerings. (See Leviticus 3:9-11.)

CHAPTER XXIX.THE CONSECRATION SERVICES.Exodus 29:1-46The priest being now selected, and his raiment so provided as that it shall speak of his office and its glory, there remains his consecration.In our day there is a disposition to make light of the formal setting apart of men and things for sacred uses. 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

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 29:1-46

CONSECRATION OF THE PRIESTS (vs.1-10) The consecration of the priests, that is, the inducting them into their priestly office, involved much detail. First, because most important, Moses was to take one young bull and two rams, all without blemish(v.1). Also unleavened bread and cakes mixed, were to be put in one basket and presented with the bull and rams. These things emphasize what is basic to priesthood, all being presented as offerings to God, though the actual sacrifice of the animals... read more
