He also took the breast
on Leviticus 8:29-30
Oil and blood are mixed and sprinkled together on the men and on their clothes. The sons were not anointed by pouring at verse 13, and this is where the oil reaches them, carried with blood from the altar.
The record, by era
The Puritans and the Awakening1 voice
And Moses took the breast,.... Of the ram of consecration: and waved it for a wave offering before the Lord; this Moses seems to have waved with his own hands, and not upon the hands of Aaron and his sons, putting his under them, as in the wave offering of the fat, shoulder, and cakes, and for which the following words seem to give a reason: for of the ram of consecration it was Moses's part; the breast of it was his: as the Lord commanded Moses; see Exo 29:26.

After the sin offering and burnt offering had been presented on their behalf, this was their peace offering, by which they declared the pleasure which they felt in entering upon the service of God and being brought into close communion with Him as the ministers of His sanctuary, together with their confident reliance on His grace to help them in all their sacred duties.
