Commentary
2 notes on this verseAnd thou shalt take the ram of the consecration,.... For the other ram was cut in pieces and burnt, even the whole of it: and seethe his flesh in the holy place; not in that part of the tabernacle which was properly the holy place, as distinguished from the holy of holies, and from the court of the tabernacle; for in that there was no convenience for boiling, but in the court of the tabernacle of the congregation, even at the door of it, as in Lev 8:31.
This site's exposition
take the ram of the consecration, and seethe
on Exodus 29:31-34
The word atonement occurs for the first time in Scripture at verse 33, seventeen chapters after the passover and four after the tabernacle instructions began. It arrives with the priesthood, and the priests eat the very offering by which the atonement was made, so their first meal in office is the sacrifice that put them there. Nothing may remain until the morning, which is the rule Exodus 12:10 laid down for the passover lamb.
