The offering of Consecration
v. 19. And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
v. 20. This is the offering of Aaron and of his sons which they shall offer unto the Lord in the day when he is anointed, when he was ordained and inducted into office, it being his daily sacrifice: the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a meat-offering perpetual, half of it in the morning and half thereof at night; it was the high priest's daily oblation, in order to maintain his fellowship with God.
v. 21. In a pan it shall be made with oil; and when it is baken, thou shalt bring it in, roasted or fried;and the baken pieces of the meat-offering shalt thou offer for a sweet savor unto the Lord, the sacrifice in its finished form being broken in pieces in the act of offering.
v. 22. And the priest of his sons that is anointed in his stead shall offer it, this solemn ceremony being one of the first acts of every new high priest; it is a statute forever unto the Lord; it shall be wholly burned, for it was considered a part of a burnt offering, and in those the worshiper had no part.
v. 23. For every meat-offering for the priest shall be wholly burned; it shall not be eaten. The priest himself being the worshiper, the entire oblation went to the Lord.
