Exodus 29:33

And they shall eat those things, &c.— Some are for rendering this, they, for whom the atonement was made, to consecrate, &c. shall eat those things: but, as this second ram is peculiarly called the ram of consecration, I should rather think our translation just, especially as each of these sacrifices may be considered in some degree as expiatory; their hands were laid upon the head of each of them. By stranger, in this verse, must be meant one who was not of the sacerdotal lineage. Common peace-offerings might be carried home, and eaten there, and that on the second day; Leviticus 19:6. This, as peculiarly holy, was to be eaten at the door of the tabernacle, Exodus 29:32 and if any remained unto the morning, Exodus 29:34 it was to be burnt with fire: thus also it was with the paschal sacrifice, ch. Exodus 12:10.
