MEDITATION
Exodus 29:29-34
29 “And the holy garments of Aaron shall be his sons’ after him, to be anointed in them and to be consecrated in them.
30 That son who becomes priest in his place shall put them on for seven days, when he enters the tabernacle of meeting to minister in the holy place.
31 “And you shall take the ram of the consecration and boil its flesh in the holy place.
32 Then Aaron and his sons shall eat the flesh of the ram, and the bread that is in the basket, by the door of the tabernacle of meeting.
33 They shall eat those things with which the atonement was made, to consecrate and to sanctify them; but an outsider shall not eat them, because they are holy.
34 And if any of the flesh of the consecration offerings, or of the bread, remains until the morning, then you shall burn the remainder with fire. It shall not be eaten, because it is holy.

沉思
《出埃及记 29：29-34》
29“亚伦的圣衣要留给他的子孙，可以穿着受膏，又穿着承接圣职。
30他的子孙接续他当祭司的，每逢进会幕在圣所供职的时候，要穿七天。
31“你要将承接圣职所献公羊的肉煮在圣处。
32亚伦和他儿子要在会幕门口吃这羊的肉和筐内的饼。
33他们吃那些赎罪之物，好承接圣职，使他们成圣；只是外人不可吃，因为这是圣物。34那承接圣职所献的肉或饼，若有一点留到早晨，就要用火烧了，不可吃这物，因为是圣物。
