Historical Commentaries

Scholarly Analysis and Interpretation.

Thou shalt receive them of their hands - Aaron and his sons are here considered merely as any common persons bringing an offering to God, and not having, as yet, any authority to present it themselves, but through the medium of a priest. Moses, therefore, was now to Aaron and his sons what they were afterwards to the children of Israel; and as the minister of God he now consecrates them to the sacred office, and presents their offerings to Jehovah.

And thou shalt receive them of their hands,.... After they had been put into them, and filled with them, and waved by them:
and burn them upon the altar for a burnt offering; not the flesh of the ram, which is after ordered to be boiled and eaten by Aaron and his sons; but the fat of it, before described, with one loaf, one cake, and one wafer of unleavened bread, out of the basket: this was done
for a sweet savour before the Lord; that it might be grateful and acceptable to him, as it was:
it is an offering made by fire unto the Lord; See Gill on Exodus 29:18.
