Exodus 29:2

_AND UNLEAVENED BREAD, AND CAKES UNLEAVENED TEMPERED WITH OIL, AND WAFERS UNLEAVENED ANOINTED WITH OIL: OF WHEATEN FLOUR SHALT THOU MAKE THEM._ No JFB commentary on these verses....

1-37 Aaron and his sons were to be set apart for the priest's office, with ceremony and solemnity. Our Lord Jesus is the great High Priest of our profession, called of God to be so; anointed with the Spirit, whence he is called Messiah, the Christ; clothed with glory and beauty; sanctified by his own blood; made perfect, or consecrated through sufferings, Hebrews 2:10. All believers are spiritual priests, to offer spiritual sacrifices, 1 Peter 2:5, washed in the blood of Christ, and so made to our God priests, Revelation 1:5; Revelation 1:6. They also are clothed with the beauty of holiness, and have received the anointing,...

Verse Exodus 29:2. _UNLEAVENED BREAD_] _Three_ kinds of bread as to its _form_ are mentioned here, but all unleavened: 1. מצות matstsoth, _unleavened bread_, no matter in what shape. See Exodus 12:8. 2. חלת challoth, cakes, pricked or _perforated_, as the root implies. 3. רקיקי rekikey, an exceeding thin _cake_, from רק _rak_, to be _attenuated_, properly enough translated _wafer_. The manner in which these were prepared is sufficiently plain from the text, and probably these were the principal _forms_ in which flour was prepared for household use during their stay in the wilderness. These were all _waved_ before the Lord, Exodus 29:24, as a

The consecration of the priests. See the notes to Lev. 8–9. Exodus 29:4 DOOR OF THE TABERNACLE - Entrance of the tent. See Leviticus 8:3. Exodus 29:27 The “waving” was the more solemn process of the two: it was a movement several times repeated, while “heaving” was simply a “lifting up” once. Exodus 29:33 A STRANGER - One of another family, i. e. in this case, one not of the family of Aaron....

EXPOSITION EXODUS 29:1 THE CONSECRATION OF THE PRIESTS. From the description of the priestly attire, the Divine Law-giver passed to the form of priestly consecration, whereof investiture in the "holy garments" was a part. The ceremony of consecration was to consist of four things:— 1. Ablution; 2. Investiture; 3. Chrism or Anointing with oil; and 4. Sacrifice. In the directions given, we have, first, the preparation of the offerings (Exodus 29:1); secondly, directions for the ablutions (Exodus 29:4); thirdly,

AND UNLEAVENED BREAD,.... Such as used to be eaten at the time of the passover, and this being distinguished from cakes and wafers, after mentioned, shows that this was bread of a larger size, a loaf or loaves of bread, see Exodus 29:3 AND CAKES UNLEAVENED, TEMPERED WITH OIL; these were made of flour mixed with oil, but without leaven, and were a lesser and thinner sort of bread than the former: AND WAFERS UNLEAVENED, ANOINTED WITH OIL; with oil olive, the best of oil, as the Targum of Jonathan, and so Aben Ezra; these were a thinner sort of bread still, somewhat like our pancakes; and they were anointed with oil after the baking of them, and in the form of the Greek χ, "chi", as Jarchi says, or of a St. Andrew's or Burgundian cross: OF WHEATEN FLOUR SHALL THOU MAKE THEM; of the finest of the wheat, for these were to be the food of Aaro

CHAPTER 29 THE CONSECRATION OF THE PRIESTS _ 1. Aaron and his sons wash with water (Exodus 29:1)_ 2. Aaron clothed (Exodus 29:5) 3. The consecration (Exodus 29:8) 4. The food of the priests (Exodus 29:26) 5. God's meeting place (Exodus 29:36) In Leviticus we find the record of their consecration, which is linked there with the offerings. Here it is only the instruction, while in Leviticus we find the act of the consecration. We touch upon it briefly; in Leviticus, we shall follow it a little closer. First they

EXODUS 29. P (Exodus 29:21; Exodus 29:38 later). CONSECRATION OF THE PRIESTHOOD (_cf._ Leviticus 8). The ritual of consecration is described at length. For the various sacrifices, _see_ the appropriate sections of Leviticus 1-7*, which belong to an older stratum of P, and are presupposed throughout. (I.) The materials for the sacrificial ceremonial include a bullock and two rams, bread of unleavened cakes, perforated cakes (perforations are still made in the Passover cakes), and large thin wafers, all unleavened, and to be brought in a basket (Exodus 29:1). (II.) All the priests to be consecrated must be bathed ...
