“And Moses said unto Aaron and to his sons, Boil the flesh at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and there eat it with the bread that is in the basket of consecrations, as I commanded, saying, Aaron and his sons shall eat it.”
Then Moses said to Aaron and his sons, cook the meat at the entrance to the tent of meeting and eat it there with the bread from the ordination offerings basket, as I commanded, saying, Aaron and his sons are to eat it. The ordination meal — cooking the ordination ram's meat at the tent's entrance and eating it with the bread — is the covenant meal that inaugurates the priestly ministry. The meal eaten at the entrance to the tent of meeting is the meal eaten at the threshold between the ordinary and the sacred, between the world and the presence of God. The priestly ministry begins with a meal: the covenant fellowship that the fellowship offering celebrates is enacted first by the priests themselves at their installation.
