Contextual Overview

1 And this is the thing which you shall do to them, to sanctify them to minister as priests to Me: take one bull, the son of the herd, and two rams without blemish, 2 and unleavened bread , and unleavened cakes poured over with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil; you shall make them of fine wheat flour. 3 And you shall put them into one basket and shall bring them near in the basket, and the bull and the two rams. 4 And you shall take Aaron and his sons to the door of the tabernacle of congregation. And you shall wash them in water. 5 And you shall take the garments, and you shall clothe Aaron with the tunic, and the robe of the ephod, and the ephod, and the breast pocket. And you shall bind it to him with the band of the ephod. 6 And you shall put the miter on his head; and you shall put the holy crown on the miter. 7 And you shall take the oil of anointing and shall pour on his head, and shall anoint him. 8 And you shall take his sons and clothe them with tunics. 9 And you shall gird them with girdles, Aaron and his sons; and you shall bind on turbans for them; and it shall be a never ending statute for them in the priest's office. And you shall consecrate Aaron and his sons. 10 And you shall bring near the bull before the tabernacle of the congregation. And Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on the head of the bull.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the holy garments of Aaron shall be his son's after him,.... That son that succeeded him in the priesthood; for the priesthood continued in Aaron's family by succession, the eldest son being high priest, until the disposal of this office fell into the hands of Heathen princes, and then it was obtained by interest or money: now, though the coat and breeches might be wore out by Aaron before he died, yet the robe of the ephod, and the ephod, and its girdle, and the breastplate, might continue, and go from father to son, and especially the latter, even to succeeding ages; see Numbers 20:26,

to be anointed therein, and consecrated in them; this is to be understood only of the high priesthood, and of anointing and consecrating to that; for none but high priests were anointed, and their sons who succeeded them in that office, and who were anointed, and consecrated in like manner as Aaron was, by washing, clothing, anointing, and sacrificing.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The consecration of the priests. See the notes to Lev. 8–9.

Exodus 29:4

Door of the tabernacle - Entrance of the tent. See Leviticus 8:3.

Exodus 29:27

The “waving” was the more solemn process of the two: it was a movement several times repeated, while “heaving” was simply a “lifting up” once.

A stranger - One of another family, i. e. in this case, one not of the family of Aaron.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Exodus 29:29. The holy garments - shall be his son's after him — These garments were to descend from father to son, and no new garments were to be made.
