Contextual Overview
1"And this [is] the thing which you do to them, to hallow them, for being priests to Me: take one bullock, a son of the herd, and two rams, perfect ones, 2and unleavened bread, and unleavened cakes anointed with oil; you make them of fine wheat flour, 3and you have put them on one basket, and have brought them near in the basket, also the bullock and the two rams. 4And you bring Aaron and his sons near to the opening of the Tent of Meeting, and have bathed them with water; 5and you have taken the garments, and have clothed Aaron with the coat, and the upper robe of the ephod, and the ephod, and the breastplate, and have girded him with the girdle of the ephod, 6and have set the turban on his head, and have put the holy crown on the turban, 7and have taken the anointing oil, and have poured [it] on his head, and have anointed him. 8And you bring his sons near, and have clothed them [with] coats, 9and have girded them [with] a girdle (Aaron and his sons), and have bound caps on them; and the priesthood has been theirs by a continuous statute, and you have consecrated the hand of Aaron, and the hand of his sons, 10and have brought the bullock near before the Tent of Meeting, and Aaron has laid—his sons also—their hands on the head of the bullock.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And they shall eat those things wherewith the atonement was made,.... For the sins of Aaron and his sons, for they were men of infirmity, and needed sacrifice for sin themselves; and herein Christ their antitype excelled them, that he had no sin of his own, and needed not to offer first for them, and then for the sins of others, as Aaron and his sons, the types of him, did; and their eating of the sacrifice for atonement points at the receiving of the atonement of Christ's sacrifice by faith, and the enjoyment of it and the blessings following on it:
to consecrate and to sanctify them; that they might be filled and fitted, and set apart and devoted to the office of the priesthood, and minister in it:
but a stranger shall not eat [thereof], because they are holy; meaning not one of another nation, but of another family, though an Israelite; the Targum of Jonathan renders it, a profane and common person, a layman, one that was not a priest; who, though he was of the seed of Israel, yet not being of the seed of Aaron, as Aben Ezra interprets it, he might not eat of the above things, because they were devoted to holy uses; and therefore none but such who were sanctified or set apart to sacred service might partake of them.
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.
Exodus 29:33
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 29:33. But a stranger shall not eat thereof] That is, no person who was not of the family of Aaron - no Israelite, and not even a Levite.
