Contextual Overview

1 `And this [is] the thing which thou dost to them, to hallow them, for being priests to Me: Take one bullock, a son of the herd, and two rams, perfect ones, 2 and bread unleavened, and cakes unleavened anointed with oil, of fine wheaten flour thou dost make them, 3 and thou hast put them on one basket, and hast brought them near in the basket, also the bullock and the two rams. 4 `And Aaron and his sons thou dost bring near unto the opening of the tent of meeting, and hast bathed them with water; 5 and thou hast taken the garments, and hast clothed Aaron with the coat, and the upper robe of the ephod, and the ephod, and the breastplate, and hast girded him with the girdle of the ephod, 6 and hast set the mitre on his head, and hast put the holy crown on the mitre, 7 and hast taken the anointing oil, and hast poured [it] on his head, and hast anointed him. 8 `And his sons thou dost bring near, and hast clothed them [with] coats, 9 and hast girded them [with] a girdle (Aaron and his sons), and hast bound on them bonnets; and the priesthood hath been theirs by a statute age-during, and thou hast consecrated the hand of Aaron, and the hand of his sons, 10 and hast brought near the bullock before the tent of meeting, and Aaron hath laid -- his sons also -- their hands on the head of the bullock.

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.

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 29:29. 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.
