And if any of the meat
The phrase "the meat" refers to the flesh of the ordination ram, which was part of the sacrificial offerings during the consecration of Aaron and his sons as priests. In Hebrew, the word for meat is "בָּשָׂר" (basar), which can also mean flesh. This highlights the physical and tangible aspect of the sacrifice, emphasizing the real and substantial nature of the offering made to God. The meat symbolizes the life and sustenance provided by God, and its use in the ordination signifies the dedication of life and service to Him.

of the ordination ram
The "ordination ram" is a specific animal used in the consecration ceremony. The Hebrew word for ordination is "מִלֻּאִים" (millu'im), which means "filling" or "consecration." This term indicates the filling of the hands of the priests with the duties and responsibilities of their office. The ram, a symbol of strength and leadership, represents the authority and power bestowed upon the priests to serve God and His people.

or any of the bread
Bread, in Hebrew "לֶחֶם" (lechem), is a staple food and a symbol of sustenance and provision. In the context of the ordination, the bread represents the spiritual nourishment and the Word of God that sustains the priests in their ministry. The inclusion of bread in the sacrificial offerings underscores the holistic nature of the consecration, involving both physical and spiritual elements.

remains until morning
The phrase "remains until morning" indicates a specific time frame for the consumption of the sacrificial elements. In the ancient Near Eastern context, the morning was seen as a time of renewal and new beginnings. The requirement to consume the offerings by morning signifies the immediacy and completeness of the consecration process, ensuring that the sacred elements are used fully in the service of God.

you must burn up what remains
The command to "burn up what remains" reflects the principle of holiness and the sacredness of the offerings. In Hebrew, the word for burn is "שָׂרַף" (saraph), which means to consume by fire. Fire is a purifying agent, and burning the leftovers ensures that nothing profane or common is done with what has been dedicated to God. This act of burning signifies the total dedication and consumption of the offering in the service of the divine.

It must not be eaten
The prohibition "must not be eaten" underscores the sanctity of the sacrificial elements. Once the designated time for consumption has passed, the offerings are no longer to be used for ordinary purposes. This restriction highlights the separation between the sacred and the profane, a key theme in the Levitical laws, emphasizing the need for reverence and respect for what is holy.

because it is sacred
The declaration "it is sacred" affirms the holiness of the offerings. The Hebrew word for sacred is "קֹדֶשׁ" (qodesh), which means set apart or holy. This holiness is derived from the offering's dedication to God and its role in the consecration of the priests. The sacred nature of the offerings serves as a reminder of the divine presence and the call to holiness for those who serve in His name. This verse, therefore, encapsulates the reverence and dedication required in the service of God, calling believers to a life set apart for His purposes.

Verse 34. - Thou shalt burn the remainder with fire. Compare above, Exodus 12:10.
