5 And thou shalt take the garments, and put upon Aaron the coat, and the robe of the ephod, and the ephod, and the breastplate, and gird him with the curious girdle of the ephod:

garments Ex 28:2-8 Le 8:7,8

curious. The word sheshev, translated curious girdle, simply signifies a kind of diaper or embroidered work, of the same texture as the ephod itself Ex 28:8

6 And thou shalt put the mitre upon his head, and put the holy crown upon the mitre.

mitre. To wrap round, evidently means that covering of the head so universal in eastern countries, which we call turban, which consists of a cap, and a sash of fine linen or silk wound round its bottom. Ex 28:36-39 Le 8:9

7 Then shalt thou take the anointing oil, and pour it upon his head, and anoint him.

Ex 28:41 30:23-31 Le 8:10-12 10:7 21:10 Nu 35:25 Ps 89:20 133:2 Isa 61:1 Joh 3:34 1Jo 2:27

12 And thou shalt take of the blood of the bullock, and put it upon the horns of the altar with thy finger, and pour all the blood beside the bottom of the altar.

all the fat Ex 29:22 Le 3:3,4,9,10,14-16 4:8,9,26,31,35 6:12 7:3,31 Ps 22:14 Isa 1:11 34:6 43:24

and the caul. It seemeth by anatomy and the Hebrew doctors, to be the midriff. Le 8:16,25 9:10,19

14 But the flesh of the bullock, and his skin, and his dung, shalt thou burn with fire without the camp: it is a sin offering.

15 Thou shalt also take one ram; and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands upon the head of the ram.

one Ex 29:3,19 Le 8:18-21

put Ex 29:10 Le 1:4-9

16 And thou shalt slay the ram, and thou shalt take his blood, and sprinkle it round about upon the altar.

Ex 29:11,12

17 And thou shalt cut the ram in pieces, and wash the inwards of him, and his legs, and put them unto his pieces, and unto his head.

wash the Le 1:9,13 8:21 9:14 Jer 4:14 Mt 23:26

18 And thou shalt burn the whole ram upon the altar: it is a burnt offering unto the LORD: it is a sweet savor, an offering made by fire unto the LORD.

a burnt offering Ge 22:2,7,13 Le 9:24 1Sa 7:9 1Ki 3:4 18:38 Ps 50:8 Isa 1:11 Jer 6:20 7:21,22 Mr 12:33 Heb 10:6-10

19 And thou shalt take the other ram; and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands upon the head of the ram.

other Ex 29:3 Le 8:22-29

Aaron Ex 29:10

20 Then shalt thou kill the ram, and take of his blood, and put it upon the tip of the right ear of Aaron, and upon the tip of the right ear of his sons, and upon the thumb of their right hand, and upon the great toe of their right foot, and sprinkle the blood upon the altar round about.

put it upon the tip. All this doubtless was intended to signify, that the priest should dedicate all his faculties and powers to the service of God; his ear to the hearing and study of the law; his hands to diligence in the sacred ministry, and to all acts of obedience; and his feet to walking in the way of God's precepts; for the ear is the symbol of obedience, the hand of action, and the foot of the path or conduct in life. And the sprinkling might further teach him, that he could neither hear, work, nor walk profitably, uprightly, and well pleasingly in the sight of God, without the application of the blood of the sacrifice. Le 8:24 14:14 Isa 50:5 Mr 7:33

the anointing oil Ex 29:7 30:25-31 Le 8:30 14:15-18,29 Ps 133:2 Isa 11:2-5 61:1-3

shall be Ex 29:1 Joh 17:19 Heb 9:22 10:29

22 Also thou shalt take of the ram the fat and the rump, and the fat that covereth the inwards, and the caul above the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, and the right shoulder; for it is a ram of consecration:

also thou Ex 29:13 Le 8:25-27

the rump. Alyah is the large tail of a species of eastern sheep. 'This tail,' says Dr. Russell, 'is very broad and large, terminating in a small appendix that turns back upon it. It is of a substance between fat and marrow, and is not eaten separately, but mixed with lean meat in many of their dishes, and also often used instead of butter. A common sheep of this sort, without the head, feet, skin, and entrails, weighs about twelve or fourteen Aleppo rotoloes, (a rotoloe is five pounds,) of which the tail is usually three rotoloes or upwards; but such as are of the largest breed, and have been fattened, will sometimes weigh about thirty rotoloes, and the tails of these ten.'

23 And one loaf of bread, and one cake of oiled bread, and one wafer out of the basket of the unleavened bread that is before the LORD:

Ex 29:2,3

24 And thou shalt put all in the hands of Aaron, and in the hands of his sons; and shalt wave them for a wave offering before the LORD.

put Le 8:27

wave them. Heb. shake to and fro. a wave Ex 29:26,27 Le 7:30 9:21 10:14

25 And thou shalt receive them of their hands, and burn them upon the altar for a burnt offering, for a sweet savor before the LORD: it is an offering made by fire unto the LORD.

thou Le 7:29-31 8:28 Ps 99:6

offering Ex 29:41 Le 1:9,13 2:2,9,16 3:3,5,9,11,14,16 7:5,25 10:13 1Sa 2:28

26 And thou shalt take the breast of the ram of Aaron's consecration, and wave it for a wave offering before the LORD: and it shall be thy part.

the breast Le 8:29

it shall be thy Ps 99:6

27 And thou shalt sanctify the breast of the wave offering, and the shoulder of the heave offering, which is waved, and which is heaved up, of the ram of the consecration, even of that which is for Aaron, and of that which is for his sons:

the breast Le 7:31-34 8:29 9:21 10:15 Nu 6:20 18:11,18,19 De 18:3

the wave offering. The wave offering and heave offering are thus distinguished by the Jewish writers; the former, called tenoophah, from nooph, to move, toss, was waved horizontally towards the four cardinal points, to signify that He to whom it was consecrated was the Lord of the whole earth; the latter, called teroomah, from room, to be elevated, was lifted perpendicularly upward and downward, in token of its being devoted to the God of heaven. the ram of the consecration. Ail milluim, literally, 'the ram of filling;' so called, according to some, because at the consecration of the priests, certain pieces of the sacrifice were put into their hands; on which account their consecration itself is called 'filling their hands.' Rabbi Solomon gives a different reason for the ram being so called, from malai, to be full, complete; because the sacrifice completed the consecration, and thereupon the priests were fully invested in their office. Heb 7:28 Le 7:37 8:28-31

28 And it shall be Aaron's and his sons' by a statute for ever from the children of Israel: for it is an heave offering: and it shall be an heave offering from the children of Israel of the sacrifice of their peace offerings, even their heave offering unto the LORD.

Aaron's Le 7:32-34 10:14,15 De 18:3

Aaron Ex 24:9-11 Le 10:12-14

deal. Deal signifies a part, from the Anglo-Saxon dal, a part, or portion taken from the whole, from daelan, to divide. From Nu. 28:5, we learn, that this tenth deal was the tenth part of an ephah, which constituted an omer, about three quarts English. hin Ex 30:24 Le 23:13 Nu 15:4 28:14 Eze 4:11 45:24 46:5,7,11,14
