Keluaran 29:31

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

[29:31]  ¹ tn Or “boil” (see Lev 8:31).

[29:31]  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.
