Context — The Order of the Sacrifices
27Consecrate for Aaron and his sons the breast of the wave offering that is waved and the thigh of the heave offering that is lifted up from the ram of ordination.
28This will belong to Aaron and his sons as a regular portion from the Israelites, for it is the heave offering the Israelites will make to the LORD from their peace offerings.
29The holy garments that belong to Aaron will belong to his sons after him, so they can be anointed and ordained in them.
30The son who succeeds him as priest and enters the Tent of Meeting to minister in the Holy Place must wear them for seven days. 31You are to take the ram of ordination and boil its flesh in a holy place.Cross References

Exodus 29:29 Summary
This verse is talking about the special clothes that the priest, Aaron, wore when he served God in the temple. These clothes were very important and were passed down to his sons so they could serve God too, just like their father. This is like when we might pass down special family traditions or values to our children, as seen in Deuteronomy 6:6-7 and Psalm 78:4. The idea is that we want to help the next generation know and love God, just like we do, and to carry on the spiritual heritage that has been passed down to us, as referenced in 2 Timothy 2:2.

Exodus 29:29 And the holy garments of Aaron shall be his sons’ after him, to be anointed therein, and to be consecrated in them. Ver. 29. Shall be his sons’ after him.] His garments remained for ever; so doth the robe of Christ’ s righteousness.
Ellicott's Commentary on Exodus 29:29
THE LAW OF THE WAVE AND HEAVE , AND OF THE .(27, 28) The wave offering.—For the future, in every case of offerings made at a consecration, both the breast and the right shoulder (Leviticus 7:32) were to be given to the officiating priest, who was to “wave” the one and “heave” the other before the Lord. “Heaving” was a single movement, an uplifting of the thing heaved; “waving” was a repeated movement, a swaying of the thing waved backwards and forwards horizontally. Both were modes of presenting the thing to God. (29) The holy garments of Aaron shall be his sons’ after him.—That Eleazar was consecrated in his father’s holy garments we learn from Numbers 20:28; but nothing is recorded as to the investiture of later high priests. Still, it is reasonable to suppose that the injunctions here given were carried out so long as the garments worn by Aaron held together. To be anointed therein.—The anointing of each successive high priest is here commanded by implication. Jewish tradition affirms the practice to have been in conformity.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Exodus 29:29
