take of the ram the fat and the rump

on Exodus 29:22-25

The fat, the right shoulder and three pieces of bread are put into the hands of Aaron and his sons and waved, which is the first wave offering in Scripture. Moses then receives them back and burns them, so the first thing placed in a priest's hand is the thing he gives up. This is the verse the idiom at verse 9 was pointing at, since to consecrate in Hebrew is to fill the hand.

proposed

The consecrating of them was the perfecting of them; Christ is said to be perfect or consecrated for evermore, Heb. vii. Probably the phrase here is borrowed from the putting of the sacrifice into their hand, to be waved before the Lord,

proposed

And one loaf of bread - The bread of different kinds, (see Clarke on Exo 29:2 (note)), in this offering, seems to have been intended as a minchah, or offering of grateful acknowledgment for providential blessings. The essence of worship consisted in acknowledging God, 1. As the Creator, Governor, and Preserver of all things, and the Dispenser of every good and perfect gift. 2. As the Judge of men, the Punisher of sin, and he who alone could pardon it. The minchahs, heave-offerings, wave-offerings, and thank-offerings, referred to the first point.
