Verse 19
19. The other ram This appears to have been a peace offering, not to be wholly consumed upon the altar, but portions to be given to the priests. It is called in Exodus 29:22; Exodus 29:26-27, and Leviticus 8:22, “the ram of consecration,” literally, ram of the fillings, alluding either to the filling of their hands or to the completion of their consecration .

Numbers 7:17. So, too, this was viewed as an exceptional peace offering, fitted to an extraordinary occasion .
