q For a peace-offering. So here were all the three ſorts of Sacri- fices; which were afterwards to be offered by them for the People. 20 Then ſhale thou kill the ram,and take of his blood, and put it upon the tip of the right ear » of Aaron, and upon the tip of the rightear of his ſons, and upon the thumb of their right hand , and upon the great toe of their right foot, and ſprinkle the blood upon the altar round about.

7 Theſe parts are conſecrated in the name and ſtead of all the reſt ; the ear, as the Inſtrument of hearing and receiving the mind and will of God in all their ſacred adminiſtrations, and in their whole converſation ; the hand and foot, as the inſtruments ofaQtion and execution of that which they hear and underirand to be the mind of God : and the 7izht parts are choſen, rather than the letr, as being uſually morc vigorous and expeditious. And i] theſe parts are ſprinkled with thisBlood, to ſhew the abſolute neceflity of Chriſt's Blood to qualifie them for an acceptable and ſucceſsſul diſ- charge of their Oftce.

21 Ard'thou ſhalt take of the blood that is upon the altar, and of * the anointing oyl, and ſprinkle ir upon * Chap, Aaron, and upon his garments,. and upon his ſons, and ?” ** upon the garments of his ſons wich him : and * he ſhall be hallowed, and his garments, and his fons, and his {ons garments with him,

22 Aiſo thou ſhalt cake of the ram the fat, and the rump, and the fat that covereth the inwards, and the caul of the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, ard the right ſhoulder: for-it is a ram of conlecration s; |

5s Of the Prieſts in their Office, Therefore the right Shoulder was burnt, which in other Sacrifices was given to the Prieſt.

23 And one loaf of bread, and one cake of oiled bread, and one wafer out of the basket of the unlea- vencd bread, that is before the LORD.

24 And thou jnalt put all in the hands of Aaron,and 'in the hands of his ſons, and ſhalt F wave them # for a wave-offcring before the LORD.

7 Eirher toſs them from one hand to another, as giving all from themſeives to God ; or ſhake them to and fro, towards the ſeveral parts of the World, to note God's dominion over all places and. p<ople, and the extent of that true and great Sacrifice, repreſented ;atheſe I ypes to all.

25 4:d thou ſhalt receive them of their hands, and burn :hem upon the altar fer a burnt- offering, for 2 iweet favour before the LORD : it is an offering made by fire unto the LORD.

26 And thouibalt rake * the breaſt of the ram of 4a- * Ley 8,

rons confecrations, and wave it for a wave-offering be- 29. fore the LORD, and it ſhall be thy part «.

# To wit, the Breaſt alone, whereas both Shoulder and Breaſt were given to Aaron afterwards ; the reaſon whereof might be, ei- ther vecauſe Moſes was not a proper and compleat Prieſt, as Aaron afterward was, but only appointed by God for this time, to do that work ; or becauſe now there were in amanner two Prieſts, the one conſecrating, to wit, Moſes; the other conſecrated, to wit, Aaron ; therefore theſe parts were divided, the Breaſt given to the former ro be eaten, the Shoulder offered unto God for the letter, werſe ->2: he being not yet a_perfe& Prieſt, and therefore not in a capacity of cating 1t.
