Context — The Ram of Ordination
27He put all these in the hands of Aaron and his sons and waved them before the LORD as a wave offering.
28Then Moses took these from their hands and burned them on the altar with the burnt offering. This was an ordination offering, a pleasing aroma, a food offering to the LORD.
29He also took the breast—Moses’ portion of the ram of ordination—and waved it before the LORD as a wave offering, as the LORD had commanded him.
30Next, Moses took some of the anointing oil and some of the blood that was on the altar and sprinkled them on Aaron and his garments, and on his sons and their garments. So he consecrated Aaron and his garments, as well as Aaron’s sons and their garments. 31And Moses said to Aaron and his sons, “Boil the meat at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting and eat it there with the bread that is in the basket of ordination offerings, as I commanded, saying, ‘Aaron and his sons are to eat it.’Cross References

Leviticus 8:29 Summary
[This verse shows us that Moses was following God's instructions carefully as he performed the ordination ceremony for Aaron and his sons, just like God had commanded in Exodus 29:1-37. By waving the breast of the ram before the Lord, Moses was dedicating this special portion to God. This ceremony was an important step in setting apart the priests for their work, and it points to the larger theme of God's desire to have a holy and dedicated people, as seen in 1 Peter 2:9-10. As we reflect on this verse, we can consider how we can dedicate our own lives and actions to God, just like Moses did.]
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the significance of the breast of the ram being waved before the Lord?
The breast of the ram represented a special portion for Moses, and waving it before the Lord signified a dedication of this portion to God, as seen in Leviticus 8:29 and Exodus 29:26-27.
Why did Moses have to follow the Lord's commands precisely in this ceremony?
Moses had to follow the Lord's commands precisely to ensure that the ordination ceremony was performed correctly and that the priests were properly consecrated, as stated in Leviticus 8:29 and Deuteronomy 4:2.
What does the wave offering symbolize in this context?
The wave offering symbolized the presentation of the offering to the Lord, and in this case, it represented the dedication of the breast of the ram to God, similar to the wave offering in Leviticus 7:30-34 and Numbers 18:11.
How does this ceremony relate to the broader theme of priesthood in the Bible?
This ceremony is part of the larger narrative of the priesthood in the Bible, which ultimately points to Jesus Christ as the great High Priest, as seen in Hebrews 3:1 and 4:14-16.
Reflection Questions
- What does it mean to dedicate something to the Lord, and how can I apply this concept to my own life?
- How can I, like Moses, follow the Lord's commands precisely in my own walk with God?
- What are some ways that I can symbolically 'wave' my own offerings before the Lord, presenting them to Him as a dedication?
- How does the concept of priesthood in the Old Testament relate to my understanding of Jesus Christ as my High Priest?

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Leviticus 8:29
And he brought the other ram, the ram of consecration: and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the ram.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Leviticus 8:29
Moses at this time administering the priest’ s office was to receive the priest’ s wages; it being most just and reasonable that the work and wages should go together.
Ellicott's Commentary on Leviticus 8:29
(29) And Moses took the breast.—That is, the breast-piece, which was afterwards the perquisite of the officiating priest (see Leviticus 7:34), fell in this instance to the share of Moses, in accordance with the directions given in Exodus 29:26, to be his sacrificial meal since he was divinely appointed to perform the priestly service.
Cambridge Bible on Leviticus 8:29
29. The sacrifice having been offered Moses waves the breast and it is reserved as his portion. It has been asked Why, if Moses receives the breast as a priestly due, does he not also receive the right thigh and cakes? In answer it may be said that the whole ceremony is twofold in character. It is an inauguration of the priesthood and at the same time an instruction to the future priests how they should discharge their functions. The ceremony of waving the breast being prescribed for all Peace-Offerings is observed by Moses. The inauguration of the priests, both as offerers of sacrifice and receivers of priestly dues, is indicated by the composite character of that which is placed in their hands, and the first Wave-Offering is given entirely to the Lord to shew that all belongs to Him and that He is the real giver of the priestly dues or, as it is said, He ‘is their inheritance.’ (Deuteronomy 18:2.)
Whedon's Commentary on Leviticus 8:29
