Exodus 29:31

Context

29:31 “You are to take the ram of the consecration and cook 1  its meat in a holy place. 2 

1 tn Or “boil” (see Lev 8:31).

2 sn The “holy place” must be in the courtyard of the sanctuary. Lev 8:31 says it is to be cooked at the entrance of the tent of meeting. Here it says it will be eaten there as well. This, then, becomes a communion sacrifice, a peace offering which was a shared meal. Eating a communal meal in a holy place was meant to signify that the worshipers and the priests were at peace with God.
