29:19-28 This ordination offering is very similar to the peace (or fellowship) offering later described in Lev 3. The fat was burned as a gift to the Lord, but the breast and the thigh, after having been dedicated to the Lord by lifting them up before him (29:24-26), became the portion for the priests to eat (29:26-28). In the regular peace offering, the remainder of the meat was to be eaten by the person making the offering in a fellowship meal (Lev 7:11-18), as the priests did here (Exod 29:31-34).
