Exodus 29:22 says, 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: Certain parts of the ram and the fat of certain parts were to be used for consecration to God. Verse twenty-three states, 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: Then verse twenty-four adds, 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. One loaf of bread, one cake of oiled bread and one wafer from the basket of unleavened bread were to be placed in the hands of Aaron and his sons as a wave offering to God. Verse twenty-five says, And thou shalt receive them of their hands, and burn them upon the altar for a burnt offering, for a sweet savour before the LORD: it is an offering made by fire unto the LORD. After the bread and wafer had been given to Aaron and his sons, it was to be given back and burned on the altar as an offering to God. I believe that the sweet savor was more to do with their obedience than the actual burning of the bread and wafer. Verse twenty-six states, 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 of the ram was to be taken by the people as a wave offering on their part. Obviously, they could not all be in physical possession of the breast, but it was to represent them all. Verse twenty-seven adds, 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: Then verse twenty-eight continues, 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. This was to be a heave offering to God from the children of Israel from their offering of sacrifice from then on. Verse twenty-nine declares, And the holy garments of Aaron shall be his sons’ after him, to be anointed therein, and to be consecrated in them. The holy garments of Aaron's were to pass to his sons after him. We do not have holy garments today, but we must do our best to pass the truth of the gospel on to our children. Verse thirty adds, And that son that is priest in his stead shall put them on seven days, when he cometh into the tabernacle of the congregation to minister in the holy place. The son who had on the holy garments was to serve as priest for a week. There was only one priest allowed in the holy place, but we today have unlimited access to God.
