In a plentiful manner, as appears from Psa 133:2, whereas other persons and things were only sprinkled with it: because his unction was to typify the anointing of Christ with the Spirit, which was not given by measure to him. A measure of the same anointing is given to all believers.

That which was left of the ram, and particularly the breast, which was said to be Moses's part, Lev 8:29, and by him was given to Aaron, that he and his sons might eat of it, in token that they and only they should have the right to do so for the future.

And thus the covenant of life and peace, Mal 2:5, was made with them. But after all the ceremonies used in their consecration, one point was reserved for the honour of Christ's priesthood. They were made priests without an oath; but Christ with an oath, Heb 7:21. For neither these priests, nor their priesthood was to continue. But His is a perpetual and unchangeable priesthood.

It was manifestly expedient for the Israelitish people to be satisfied that Aaron's appointment to the high dignity of the priesthood was not a personal intrusion, nor a family arrangement between him and Moses; and nothing, therefore, could be a more prudent or necessary measure, for impressing a profound conviction of the divine origin and authority of the priestly institution, than to summon a general assembly of the people, and in their presence perform the solemn ceremonies of inauguration, which had been prescribed by divine authority.

At consecration they were subjected to entire ablution, though on ordinary occasions they were required, before entering on their duties, only to wash their hands and feet. This symbolical ablution was designed to teach them the necessity of inward purity, and the imperative obligation on those who bore the vessels and conducted the services of the sanctuary to be holy.

The splendor of the official vestments, together with the gorgeous tiara of the high priest, was intended, doubtless, in the first instance, to produce in the minds of the people a high respect for the ministers of religion; and in the next, from the predominant use of linen, to inculcate upon Aaron and his sons the duty of maintaining unspotted righteousness in their characters and lives.

After the sin offering and burnt offering had been presented on their behalf, this was their peace offering, by which they declared the pleasure which they felt in entering upon the service of God and being brought into close communion with Him as the ministers of His sanctuary, together with their confident reliance on His grace to help them in all their sacred duties.

After all these preliminaries, they had still to undergo a week's probation in the court of the tabernacle before they obtained permission to enter into the interior of the sacred building. During the whole of that period the same sacrificial rites were observed as on the first day, and they were expressly admonished that the smallest breach of any of the appointed observances would lead to the certain forfeiture of their lives [Lev 8:35].

It is only necessary to observe that Aaron and his sons were not anointed until now. Before, the thing was commanded; now, first performed.

Put it upon the tip of Aaron’ s right ear, etc. - See this significant ceremony explained in the note on Exo 29:20 (note). Calmet remarks that the consecration of the high priest among the Romans bore a considerable resemblance to the consecration of the Jewish high priest. "The Roman priest, clothed with a garment of silk, his head covered with a crown of gold adorned with sacred ribbons, was conducted into a subterranean place, over which there was a floor of planks pierced through with many holes. On this floor they sacrificed a bullock, whose blood was freely poured out on the planks or floor, which running through the holes fell upon the priest, who stood under to receive this sacred aspersion, and who, in order to be completely covered with the blood, took care to present the whole of his body, his clothes, face, eyes, nose, lips, and even his tongue, to receive the drops of blood falling through the pierced floor above. Being completely covered with this sanguineous shower, he ascended from his subterranean place, and was acknowledged and adored by the people as Pontifex Maximus, or supreme high priest."These rites, which bear a striking allusion to those used in the consecration of Aaron, and from which they were probably borrowed, and disguised by the introduction of their own superstitions, are particularly described by Aurelius Prudentius, in his poem entitled Romani Martyris Supplicium, from which I shall select those verses, the subject of which is given above, as the passage is curious, and the work not common
" Summus sacerdos nempe sub terram scrob
Acta in profundum consecrandus mergitur
Mire infulatus, festa vittis tempor
Nectens, corona tum repexus aurea
Cinctu Gabino sericam fultus togam
Tabulis superne strata texunt pulpita
Rimosa rari pegmatis compagibus
Scindunt subinde vel terebrant aream
Crebroque lignum perforant acumine
Pateat minutis ut frequens hiatibus -
Hic ut statuta est immolanda bellua,
Pectus sacrata dividunt venabulo
Eructat amplum volnus undam sanguinis - etc
Tum per frequentes mille rimarum via
Illapsus imber, tabidum rorem pluit
Defossus intus quem sacerdos excipit
Guttas ad omnes turpe subjectans caput
Et veste et omni putrefactus corpore
Quin os supinat, obvias offert gena
Supponit aures, labra, nares objicit
Oculos et ipsos perluit liquoribus
Nec jam palato parcit, et linguam rigat
Donec cruorem totus atrum combibat -
Procedit inde pontifex vlsu horridus - etc
Omnes salutant atque adorant eminus
Vilis quod illum sanguls, et bos mortuu
Foedis latentem sub cavernis laverint .
Of these lines the reader will not be displeased to find the following poetical version: -
"For when, with sacred pomp and solemn state
Their great high priest the Romans consecrate
His silken vest in Gabine cincture bound
A festal fillet twines his temples round
And, while aloft the gorgeous mitre shines
His awful brow a golden crown confines
In a deep dyke, for mystic ritual made
He stands, surrounded with terrific shade
High o’ er his holy head a stage they place
Adorn with paintings, and with statues grace
Then with keen piercers perforate the floor
Till thronging apertures admit no more
Thither the victim ox is now convey’ d
To glut the vengeance of the thirsty blade
The sacred spear his sturdy throat divides
Down, instant streaming, gush the gory tides
Through countless crevices the gaping woo
Distils corrupted dew and smoking blood
Drop after drop, in swift succession shed
Falls on the holy pontiff’ s mitred head
While, to imbibe the sanctifying power
His outspread garments drink the crimson shower
Then on his back in reeking streams he lies
And laves in livid blood his lips and eyes
Bares every limb, exposes every pore
To catch the virtue of the streaming gore
With open mouth expects the falling flood
Moistens his palate and his tongue with blood
Extends his ears to meet the sanguine rain
Nor lets a single drop descend in vain
Then from the gloomy cave comes forth to light
Bathed in black blood, and horrible to sight! -
By the vile torrent, and the victim slain
In the dark cavern cleansed from mortal stain
Their priest, enveloped in atoning gore
With trembling awe surrounding throngs adore.
Prudentius was born about the middle of the fourth century, and was no doubt intimately acquainted with the circumstances he describes.

1. In his agony in the garden
2. In his being crowned with thorns
3. In the piercing of his hands and his feet. And
4. In his side being pierced with the spear. All these were so many acts of atonement performed by the high priest.

For seven days shall he consecrate you - This number was the number of perfection among the Hebrews; and the seven days’ consecration implied a perfect and full consecration to the sacerdotal office. See Clarke’ s note on Exo 29:30.

So Aaron and his sons did - This chapter shows the exact fulfillment of the commands delivered to Moses, Exodus 29; and consequently the complete preparation of Aaron and his sons to fill the awfully important office of priests and mediators between God and Israel, to offer sacrifices and make atonement for the sins of the people. "Thus,"says Mr. Ainsworth, "the covenant of the priesthood was confirmed unto the tribe of Levi in Aaron and his sons, which covenant was life and peace, Mal 2:5. But these are made priests without an oath; also, there were many priests, because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death; and they served unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, offering gifts and sacrifices which could not make him who did the service perfect as pertaining to the conscience; for they were carnal ordinances imposed upon them till the time of reformation, that is, until the time of Christ, who was made a priest of God with an oath, and made surety of a better covenant established on better promises. And because he continueth for ever, he hath a priesthood which passeth not from one to another, and is a minister of the true tabernacle, which God pitched and not man. Not by the blood of bulls and of goats, but by his own blood, he entered once into the holy place, having found everlasting redemption for us; and is therefore able to save to the uttermost them who come unto God through him, as he ever liveth to make intercession for them."Taken in reference to his priesthood and sacrifice, all these rites and ceremonies are significant and edifying, but taken out of his relation, they would be as absurd and nugatory as the consecration of the Roman Pontifex Maximus, mentioned above by Prudentius.

1.And the Lord spake It is well known that in conjunction with the sacrifices there was an offering, which they call minha, but we shall elsewhere see that this was also used separately; for it was lawful without a victim to offer either plain meal, or cakes, or wafers seasoned with oil. Therefore, besides the sacrifice of consecration, of which Moses has already treated, this second offering is required from the priest, that he should present at his inauguration a cake fried in a pan, and cut in pieces. The reason of this appears to have been, that he might thence become the legitimate minister of all the people, and might duly offer in the name of others, when he had done what was right for himself. But a distinction is drawn between the demand upon the priest and that, upon the people, viz., that it should be “wholly burnt;” the reason for which, since it will be explained elsewhere, it will be now sufficient to advert to in a single word. The fact was that God was unwilling that the priests should indulge themselves in vain ostentation, which might have been easily the case, if the oblation had been preserved for their use, like the minha of the people which remained in their hands.

2.Take Aaron He more clearly explains the mode of anointing and investing the priests, by appointing the place and the assistants; for he commands the congregation to be convoked at the sanctuary; and then that Aaron and his sons should be brought out before them to be inaugurated by God’s authority in their office; and that the whole people together may acknowledge that they are appointed and ordained by God. The execution of the command, which we find connected with it in the text of Moses, must be undoubtedly referred to another time; viz., when the solemn dedication of the tabernacle was made. I have therefore thought fit to transfer thither what is here related out of its place, that the history may proceed uninterruptedly; which will not a little facilitate its comprehension.
Calvin: Lev 8:4 - And Moses did as the Lord commanded him 4.And Moses did as the Lord commanded him Although these things relate to the priesthood, the authority and nature of which I expounded under the Sec...
4.And Moses did as the Lord commanded him Although these things relate to the priesthood, the authority and nature of which I expounded under the Second Commandment, yet, inasmuch as they are historical, it is not without reason that I have thought fit to defer them till this place: for, if I had referred to them in connection with the Commandment, unpractised readers would not have easily taken notice of their time. This distinction, however, will be of great assistance to them, that after the doctrine which was properly contained in the Decalogue has been set forth, they will now see how faithfully Moses fulfilled whatever he was commanded, and will be able to compare his obedience with the injunction, as they have done in the whole of the making and dedication of the tabernacle. Besides, there is no question but that the narrative must be thus connected; for it may be readily inferred from many passages, that the priests were anointed on the same day that the tabernacle was consecrated. I will now hastily run through the words. Moses says that he brought near Aaron and his sons, i.e., to set them before God and the people; and then that he “washed them with water,” to make it manifest that they did not bring from their homes the purity which befitted the sanctity of their office, and, inasmuch as they were men, that they could not be clean before God, unless their impurity was washed off. A description of their apparel afterwards follows, which I pass over, lest I should weary my readers by twice repeating the same thing.
Calvin: Lev 8:10 - And Moses took the anointing oil 10.And Moses took the anointing oil I have stated why God commanded that the priest himself, as well as all the vessels, should be consecrated with o...
10.And Moses took the anointing oil I have stated why God commanded that the priest himself, as well as all the vessels, should be consecrated with oil, viz., because, without the influence of the Spirit, all the sacrifices would be unsavory. And it is by the operation of the same Spirit that Christ was made the peace-maker between God and men; because this dignity would not otherwise belong to flesh and human nature. Aaron was therefore anointed, together with his sons, before he was admitted to the priestly office; for it is afterwards added, that “the bullock for sin” 405 was brought, upon which Aaron laid his hands. Now, although even then he began to discharge his office, yet Moses still occupied the first place, and performed, as it were, the final act. Hence it was that he sprinkled the horns of the altar with the blood; poured the residue at its base for expiation; and burned the sacrifice upon the altar. Now, the imposition of hands in the sacrifices was not only a symbol of presentation, but also a testimony of guilt transferred to the victim. Since, however, this last statement may be obscure on account of its brevity, I will explain it a little more clearly. If any private person offered a victim, the imposition of hands signified that he cast the guilt of his sin upon the victim. Hence the name of piaculum; 406 because it sustained the curse of God, and was substituted in the sinner’s stead, who disburdens himself upon it of whatever exposed him to the judgment of God. But, inasmuch as common hands were unworthy to consecrate a victim to God, the sacerdotal office interposed. This is the reason why Aaron and his sons put their hands on each of the sacrifices, in order that this kind of atonement (piaculi) might be the beginning of their consecration, which was completed in the second ram, with the blood of which Moses stained their right ears, the thumbs of their right hands, and the great toes of their right feet. A multitude of questions here arises: Why only one side of the priests was consecrated, as if their left side remained polluted? Why consecration was not also imparted to their eyes, and especially to their mouth, which was to be the organ of the Holy Spirit? But this warning must be always borne in mind, that we should be soberly wise in those points, the certain knowledge of which cannot be elicited from Scripture; for our curiosity is not only frivolous, but also perverse and injurious, when we desire to know more than God has revealed. The conjecture, however, is probable, that the whole body was consecrated in the right side. We have already seen elsewhere, 407 that by the hands and feet the whole life and actions of men are designated. In which view the cleanness of the heart and the purity of the hands comprehend all that is internal and external in man, as the root and the fruit. As to the feet, the metaphor of walking is notorious; and the feet are said to run to evil, and to be swift to shed blood, when the wicked and the despisers of God betake themselves to evil deeds. Besides, since this consecration was not to the office of teaching, but to that of intercession, the ear rather than the tongue is stained with blood; because the chief virtue, which obtains grace in the sacrifices, is obedience. To this the passage in Psa 40:6, refers, “Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou bored:” 408 to which the words of Jeremiah correspond,
“Did I command anything respecting sacrifices, and not rather that your fathers should obey my voice?” 409
(Jer 7:22.)
And hence Moses commenced the consecration at the ear, in order to devote the priest to God unto obedience. Paul shews how this was fulfilled in Christ, where he celebrates His obedience in the sacrifice of His death, in order to reconcile His Father to us. (Rom 5:19.) I have spoken elsewhere of the kind of wave-offering which they called tnupha. 410

31.And Moses said unto Aaron and his sons, Boil the flesh This is the universal rule, as we have seen elsewhere. 411 One thing only is special, that God kept them in the tabernacle seven days, that they might learn to subordinate all their domestic cares and worldly business to their sacred duties. It has been elsewhere said, also, 412 that perfection is denoted by the number seven, which this passage confirms, for by the seven days they were reminded that they were no longer their own masters for the rest of their life.

The atoning blood was placed on the ear, the hand, and the foot of God's priests to designate, respectively, hearing and obeying God's Word, doing God's service, and walking in God's will. Today, as a spiritual priesthood, we also should hear, serve and walk (1Pe 2:9) in the will of God."

Part of the blood was applied, not as that of the sin offering, to the horns of the altar, but to Aaron and his sons; to the tips of their right ears, the thumbs of their right hands, and the great toes of their right feetcaps1 . icaps0 mplying their obligation to hearken diligently to the word of God - to do his work in the best manner which they could, and to walk in his ways with steady perseverance; and also, that they could not do these things acceptably except through the atoning blood, received and applied by faith. Then part of the blood reserved upon the altar, probably in a basin for that purpose, was mingled with the holy anointing oil, and sprinkled on the garments both of Aaron and his sons, to hallow them to the Lord. ""This may be looked upon as a lively representation of our purification by the blood of jesus Christ, through his Holy Spirit.""- Bp. Patrick

This here added, either because Nadab and Abihu had been led to their error by drinking too much, which might easily fall out when they were feasting and full of joy for their entrance into so honourable and profitable an employment; or at least because others might thereby be drawn to commit the same miscarriages, which they might now commit from other causes. Drunkenness is so odious a sin in itself, especially a minister, and most of all in the time of his administration of sacred things, that God saw fit to prevent all occasions of it. And hence the devil, who is God’ s ape in his prescriptions for his worship, required this abstinence from his priests in their idolatrous service.

The charge of the Lord what God hath commanded you concerning your consecration.
If the threatening seem too severe for the fault, it must be considered both that it is the usual practice of lawgivers most severely to punish the first offences for the terror and caution of others, and for the maintenance of their own authority; and that this transgression was aggravated by many circumstances, being committed by sacred and eminent persons, and that in the presence of the people, which made it a public scandal, and in God’ s worship, where he is very tender and jealous, and against a plain and easy command of God, and at a time when they were receiving high favours and privileges from God. Nor is sin to be esteemed or measured by the idle fancies of men of corrupt minds and lives, whose interests and lusts easily blind their minds; but by the authority, majesty, and will of the great, and wise, and just Lawgiver.

Foot. The whole person was thus sensibly consecrated to God's service. (Haydock) ---
The pagan high priest, among the Romans, was adorned in silk and ribbands, with a crown of gold. Being conducted under ground, the blood of an ox, which had been sacrificed, came upon his head, ears, and other parts of his body, through little holes, made in a board; and thus besmeared, he was recognized by the people. (Prudent. hym. S. Romani, Saumaise. &c.)

Vestments. It is a maxim among the Rabbins, that a priest without his vestments, is not considered as such; and he is put to death, if he should dare to approach the altar in that condition. When the priests lay aside their sacred robes, they are looked upon as laymen. (Calmet) ---
The high priest was consecrated by the unction on the head; (ver. 12,) those of an inferior condition, were sprinkled with ointment mixed with blood, &c. (Menochius)

Finished. During this time, some say they were allowed to go our for a short time, to satisfy the calls of nature; while others say they were to continue always in the tabernacle, or in the court. Afterwards the priests on duty continued all the time in the temple, adorned with their sacred robes. The high priest could not wear his on other occasions, except some very urgent affair require it, as was the case when Jaddus went to meet Alexander. (Calmet)

Watches. They might be permitted to take a little sleep during part of this week. (Tirinus) ---
In: Hebrew, "at the door of the tabernacle of the assembly, attentive to the ordinances of the Lord." (Haydock) ---
Die, as Nadab did afterwards. Moses officiated as the consecrating priest. One of the most venerable of the order, consecrated the successors of Aaron. Some assert, that they only invested him with the pontifical robes. (Numbers xx. 25.; 1 Machabees x. 21.) (Calmet) ---
The power of Moses was extraordinary; that of Aaron was ordinary, designed to continue in after ages. (St. Augustine, q. 23.) None must presume to take this office of priest, but such as are called by God, Hebrews v. Those of the old law, were initiated by sacred rites or sacraments, which signified the grace of God, requisite to perform their duties well. They were chosen from among men, to be more holy; of which their washing was a sign, as their splendid robes were to remind them of their sublime dignity and authority over the people. The high priest had seven special ornaments: 1. white linen, to denote purity; 2. a curious girdle, intimating that he must use discretion in all things; 3. the long tunic of various colours, with bells, &c., signifying heavenly conversation upon earth, union and harmony in faith and morals; 4. an ephod, with two precious stones on the shoulders, teaching him to support the failings of the multitude; 5. the rational, with its ornaments, shew that the pontiff should be solicitous to teach sound and profitable doctrine; 6. the mitre indicates, that all his actions should be referred to God above; and lastly, the plate of gold denotes that he should have God always in view, and never forget that consummate holiness which He requireth. See St. Jerome, ep. ad Fabiol. ---
The three ornaments of the priests, put them in mind of purity, discretion, and a right intention, to be observed in all their conduct. On this occasion, a change was introduced in the priesthood, as the law was new; the first-born being obliged to give place to Aaron's family. Thus, when these were deprived of the exclusive privilege, and people from any family were chosen by Christ, the law of Moses ceased to exist, Hebrews vii. The ordination of the former was a figure of that sacrament, by which Christian priests still receive grace and power. (2 Timothy i.; Theodoret q. 48. Num.; St. Augustine, de bono conj. 24.) (Worthington)

And the Lord spake unto Moses,.... The following section or paragraph, relating to the consecration of Aaron and his sons, was delivered, according to Jarchi, seven days before the setting up of the tabernacle; but to me it seems to have been delivered after the setting it up, since it was out of the tabernacle that the Lord said all those things recorded in the preceding chapters; and after he had given out the laws concerning sacrifices, then he renewed the order for the consecration of Aaron and his sons, that they might offer them:
saying; as follows.
Gill: Lev 8:2 - Take Aaron, and his sons with him // and the garments // and the anointing oil // and a bullock for the sin offering, and two rams, and a basket of unleavened bread Take Aaron, and his sons with him,....

Take Aaron, and his sons with him,.... That is, order them to come, or send a message to them, that they appear at such a time at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, where the ceremony of consecration was to be performed, and was performed, Lev 8:3 which is observed and recorded by Moses, to show that he had a divine warrant for what he did, and that it was not from favour and affection to his brother, and because of the relation he and his family stood in to him, that he invested him and them with the priestly office, but it was by a command from the Lord; nor did Aaron take this honour to himself, but was called of God to it, Heb 5:4,
and the garments; the garments for the priesthood, ordered and described, and now made, see Exo 28:1.
and the anointing oil; which also was ordered to be made, and now was made, Exo 30:23.
and a bullock for the sin offering, and two rams, and a basket of unleavened bread; which were all to be used at the consecration with the anointing oil Aaron was to be anointed, and also the tabernacle and the altar; and the bullock was to be a sin offering, and one of the rams a burnt offering for Aaron, and his sons, and the other ram was the ram of consecration of them; and out of the basket of unleavened bread one cake of each sort was to be taken, and waved with other things, and burnt, which finished the consecration; but with it was no oath, as in the consecration of the antitypical high priest Christ Jesus, which difference is observed by the apostle, Heb 7:21 see Exo 29:1.

And gather thou all the congregation together,.... That is, the heads of the tribes and the elders of the people, as Aben Ezra interprets it; for the whole body of the people, and every individual of them, could not be got together:
unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation; taking this for the whole court itself, as it sometimes is; though no doubt on this occasion as great a number was convened as well could be admitted into the court, or about it, to be spectators and witnesses of the solemn investiture of Aaron and his sons with the priestly office.
Gill: Lev 8:4 - And Moses did as the Lord commanded him // and the assembly was gathered together unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation And Moses did as the Lord commanded him,....

And Moses did as the Lord commanded him,.... He convened Aaron and his sons, and the heads of the people, at the door of the tabernacle, and came himself, and brought with him the garments, the oil, and sacrifices, even everything necessary for the consecration:
and the assembly was gathered together unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation; and this was, according to the Targum of Jonathan, on the twenty third day of the month Adar or February; but it rather seems to be later, some time in the beginning of Nisan or March, and before the passover began, see Num 9:1.
Gill: Lev 8:5 - And Moses said unto the congregation // this is the thing which the Lord commanded to be done And Moses said unto the congregation,.... Having convened them, he opened to them the reason of their being called together, which was not done of him...
And Moses said unto the congregation,.... Having convened them, he opened to them the reason of their being called together, which was not done of himself, but by divine direction:
this is the thing which the Lord commanded to be done; namely, what follows, concerning the consecration of Aaron and his sons to be priests, and the investiture of them with that office, attended with various rites and ceremonies to be performed, of which they were to be witnesses.
Gill: Lev 8:6 - And Moses brought Aaron and his sons // and washed them with water And Moses brought Aaron and his sons,.... To the laver which was in the court of the tabernacle

And Moses brought Aaron and his sons,.... To the laver which was in the court of the tabernacle
and washed them with water; to show that they should be clean that bear the vessels of the Lord, and offer the sacrifices of the people; all that are in public office in the house of God ought to have both clean hands and a pure heart, to hold the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience, and to be of a pure and holy conversation; and indeed all that are made kings and priests to God, as all the saints are, they are washed from their sins in the blood of Jesus, Rev 1:5.
Gill: Lev 8:7 - And he put upon him the coat // and girded him with the girdle // and clothed him with the robe // and put the ephod upon him // and he girded him with the curious girdle of the ephod, and bound it unto him therewith And he put upon him the coat,....

And he put upon him the coat,.... The embroidered coat of fine linen, which was next to his flesh; Exo 28:39 and all the garments were put on just in the order they are here declared; no mention is made indeed of the linen breeches, since it is highly probable these were put on by Aaron himself in some apartment in the tabernacle, or before came thither; it not being so decent to put on, or have these put on, in the sight of the whole congregation:
and girded him with the girdle; the girdle of needlework with which the linen coat was girt to him, and was distinct from the curious girdle of the ephod after mentioned, Exo 28:39.
and clothed him with the robe: the robe of the ephod, which had at the hem of it golden bells and pomegranates, Exo 28:31.
and put the ephod upon him; made of gold, blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen, which had two shoulder pieces, and on them two onyx stones, on which were engraved the names of the twelve tribes, Exo 28:6.
and he girded him with the curious girdle of the ephod, and bound it unto him therewith; which was made of the same with the ephod, and by which it was girt close unto him; of the mystical meaning of these garments. See Gill on Exo 28:39, Exo 28:31, Exo 28:32, Exo 28:33, Exo 28:34, Exo 28:35, Exo 28:6, Exo 28:7, Exo 28:8, Exo 28:9, Exo 28:10, Exo 28:11, Exo 28:12.

And he put the breastplate upon him,.... Which was made of the same materials with the ephod, and was put upon it, and fastened to it:
also he put in the breastplate the Urim and Thummim: that is, Moses did it, as all the rest; for there is no reason to be given why this should be appropriated to God as a divine work, distinct from the rest; and these seem to be the twelve precious stones set in the breastplate, whose names are given, Exo 27:17 and if they are not intended, no account is here given of them; but since in Exo 29:8 an account is given of the stones, and of the setting of them in the breastplate, and no mention is made of the Urim and Thummim, and here notice is taken of them, but nothing said of the stones; it seems pretty plain they must be the same; See Gill on Exo 28:30.

And he put the mitre upon his head,.... Which was made of fine linen, and was a wrap of that of a considerable length about his head, Exo 28:39.
also upon the mitre, even upon his forefront, did he put the golden plate; which was put upon the forehead of the high priest, reaching from ear to ear, and was fastened to the mitre with a blue lace, and had on it this inscription, "holiness to the Lord": Exo 28:36 and is here therefore called
the holy crown: denoting both the sanctity and the dignity of the high priest, and typical of Christ, who is holiness itself, and to his people, and is now crowned with glory and honour, being a priest upon the throne: hence the Jews u speak of the crown of the law, and of the crown of the kingdom, and of the crown of the priesthood: and this, as all the rest, was done
as the Lord commanded Moses; all these were made according to the divine order, and were put on in the manner and form he directed him; of the mystery of the mitre and the crown; see Gill on Exo 28:39, Exo 28:36, Exo 28:37.

And Moses took the anointing oil,.... Which Bezaleel had made, according to the directions which Moses had given him, and he had received from the Lord: this Moses brought with him to the door of the tabernacle, as he was ordered, Lev 8:2 and now he took it and made use of it as follows:
and anointed the tabernacle and all that was therein; the altar of incense, the candlestick, and table of shewbread:
and sanctified them; separated and devoted them to sacred use and service.
Gill: Lev 8:11 - And he sprinkled thereof upon the altar seven times // and anointed the altar, and all its vessels // both the laver and his foot // to sanctify them And he sprinkled thereof upon the altar seven times,.... The altar of burnt offering; the order for anointing it is given in Exo 30:28 but in that no ...
And he sprinkled thereof upon the altar seven times,.... The altar of burnt offering; the order for anointing it is given in Exo 30:28 but in that no directions are given for the manner of doing it by sprinkling, nor the number of times it was to be sprinkled: hence Jarchi confesses his ignorance, and says,"I know not how it was ordered about these sprinklings;''but no doubt Moses was instructed of God in what manner to anoint it, and how often; and the number seven may denote the perfect unction of it, and made it a fitter type of Christ, who received the unction of the Spirit without measure:
and anointed the altar, and all its vessels; pans, shovels, basins, flesh hooks, and fire pans:
both the laver and his foot; which was for the priests to wash at; and very probably this was done before Moses brought Aaron and his sons thither and washed them, Lev 8:6 since it seems most proper that it should be consecrated before used, as it follows:
to sanctify them; set them apart for sacred use.
Gill: Lev 8:12 - And he poured of the anointing oil upon Aaron's head // and anointed him to sanctify him And he poured of the anointing oil upon Aaron's head,.... Which ran down to his beard, and to the collar of his coat, the robe of the ephod, but not t...
And he poured of the anointing oil upon Aaron's head,.... Which ran down to his beard, and to the collar of his coat, the robe of the ephod, but not to the skirts of his garments, as we wrongly render it, Psa 133:2. Jarchi says it was first poured on his head, and after that he put it between his eyebrows, and drew it with his finger here and there, or from one eyebrow to another: Maimonides w gives a like account, with some addition; he says, the oil was poured on his head, and he was anointed between the eyebrows, in the form of the Greek letter
and anointed him to sanctify him; to signify that he was set apart and devoted to the sacred office of the priesthood. The Targum of Jonathan observes, that this anointing was after he had clothed him; though some have thought it was done before the mitre and holy crown were put on: but if they were put on to complete the investiture, they might be taken off while the ceremony of anointing was performed.
Gill: Lev 8:13 - And Moses brought Aaron's sons // and put coats upon them, and girded them with girdles // and put bonnets on them // as the Lord commanded Moses And Moses brought Aaron's sons,.... His four sons, Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation; he ordered...
And Moses brought Aaron's sons,.... His four sons, Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation; he ordered and directed them to come there, or sent proper persons to fetch them, or from one part of the court, where they were, he might accompany them thither:
and put coats upon them, and girded them with girdles: which were made of fine linen, Exo 39:27 and the coats being made long to reach down to the ankles, needed girdles, especially when in service, that they might perform it more expeditiously:
and put bonnets on them; which were made of fine linen also, and differed from the mitre of the high priest only in the manner of rolling up the linen:
as the Lord commanded Moses; as all the above things were made, so they were all put on, according to the directions Moses received of the Lord, who was faithful in his house, with respect to everything he enjoined him, Heb 3:2.
Gill: Lev 8:14 - And he brought the bullock for the sin offering // and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the bullock for the sin offering And he brought the bullock for the sin offering,.... To the tabernacle, into the court of it, to the altar of burnt offering there; that is, he cause...
And he brought the bullock for the sin offering,.... To the tabernacle, into the court of it, to the altar of burnt offering there; that is, he caused it to be brought thither as he was ordered, Exo 29:10.
and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the bullock for the sin offering; their right hands, according to the Targum of Jonathan, which is not improbable, thereby as it were transferring their sins to it, and confessing them over it; acknowledging their guilt, and that they deserved to die, as that creature would, which was to be a vicarious sacrifice for sin, and whose blood was to purify and sanctify the altar, at which they, sinful men, were to serve.
Gill: Lev 8:15 - And he slew it // and Moses took the blood // and put it upon the horns of the altar round about with his finger // and purified the altar // and poured the blood at the bottom of the altar // and sanctified it // to make reconciliation upon it And he slew it,.... Not Aaron, nor any of his sons, who as yet were not fully consecrated and installed into their office, but Moses, as follows:

And he slew it,.... Not Aaron, nor any of his sons, who as yet were not fully consecrated and installed into their office, but Moses, as follows:
and Moses took the blood; which was received into a basin when the bullock was slain:
and put it upon the horns of the altar round about with his finger; upon the four horns of the altar, which were at the four corners of it, and dipping his finger into the blood, he besmeared the horns with it, and drew it about with his finger here and there; and so is said to be done round about the altar, as these horns were:
and purified the altar; or cleansed it; not from moral guilt and pollution, which it was incapable of, but from all ceremonial pollution it might be supposed to have:
and poured the blood at the bottom of the altar; the rest of the blood he did not use about the horns:
and sanctified it; separated it from common to sacred use:
to make reconciliation upon it; that it might be fit to have sacrifices offered on it to make atonement and reconciliation for sins; for which reason it was necessary it should itself be pure and holy, in such sense it was capable of being so.
Gill: Lev 8:16 - And he took all the fat that was upon the inwards // and the caul above the liver // and the two kidneys, and their fat, and Moses burned it upon the altar And he took all the fat that was upon the inwards,.... Called the "omentum":

And he took all the fat that was upon the inwards,.... Called the "omentum":
and the caul above the liver; the lobe upon the liver, as the Septuagint; or "the caul" and "the liver", so says Jarchi; the liver separately, for he took a little of the liver with it, the caul:
and the two kidneys, and their fat, and Moses burned it upon the altar: the fat of these several parts, which has been often observed was done; and in imitation of which, the same has been done by the Persians and their Magi, as related by Strabo x and others y; and by the Romans, to which Persius z refers; and these several parts are generally covered with fat in fat creatures, and especially sheep, as Aristotle a observes.
Gill: Lev 8:17 - But the bullock and his hide, his flesh, and his dung, he burnt with fire without the camp // as the Lord commanded Moses But the bullock and his hide, his flesh, and his dung, he burnt with fire without the camp,.... Aben Ezra observes, that some say that he did this him...
But the bullock and his hide, his flesh, and his dung, he burnt with fire without the camp,.... Aben Ezra observes, that some say that he did this himself; and others, that it was done by orders, that is, he ordered others to do it, which seems probable enough:
as the Lord commanded Moses; Exo 29:14.
Gill: Lev 8:18 - And he brought the ram for the burnt offering // and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram And he brought the ram for the burnt offering,.... One of the two he was ordered to take, Lev 8:2.
and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the h...
And he brought the ram for the burnt offering,.... One of the two he was ordered to take, Lev 8:2.
and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram; as they had done before on the head of the bullock, see Lev 8:14 their right hands, as the Targum of Jonathan, and that at the same time; not first Aaron and then his sons, as a famous grammarian, Aben Ezra makes mention of, thought; but, as he himself says, they laid them on together.
Gill: Lev 8:19 - And he killed it // and Moses sprinkled the blood upon the altar round about And he killed it,.... That is, Moses killed the ram, as the Septuagint version expresses it:
and Moses sprinkled the blood upon the altar round abo...
And he killed it,.... That is, Moses killed the ram, as the Septuagint version expresses it:
and Moses sprinkled the blood upon the altar round about; as he did the blood of the bullock, Lev 8:15.
Gill: Lev 8:20 - And he cut the ram into pieces // and Moses burnt the head, and the pieces, and the fat And he cut the ram into pieces,.... Cut off its head and quartered it:
and Moses burnt the head, and the pieces, and the fat; even all of it, as th...
And he cut the ram into pieces,.... Cut off its head and quartered it:
and Moses burnt the head, and the pieces, and the fat; even all of it, as the following verse shows.
Gill: Lev 8:21 - And he washed the inwards and the legs in water // and Moses burnt the whole ram upon the altar: it was a burnt sacrifice for a sweet savour, and an offering made by fire unto the Lord; as the Lord commanded Moses And he washed the inwards and the legs in water,.... The one being taken out, the other cut off:

And he washed the inwards and the legs in water,.... The one being taken out, the other cut off:
and Moses burnt the whole ram upon the altar: it was a burnt sacrifice for a sweet savour, and an offering made by fire unto the Lord; as the Lord commanded Moses; see Exo 29:18.
Gill: Lev 8:22-25 - And he brought the other ram, the ram of consecration And he brought the other ram, the ram of consecration,.... Or "filling" b, or "fulnesses"; because, as Jarchi says, these filled and perfected the pri...
And he brought the other ram, the ram of consecration,.... Or "filling" b, or "fulnesses"; because, as Jarchi says, these filled and perfected the priests in their priesthood; this was the finishing and consummation of their consecration: what is said in this and the three following verses Lev 8:23 is the same as is ordered, Exo 29:19 and needs no further explanation; See Gill on Exo 29:19, Exo 29:20, Exo 29:21, Exo 29:22.
Gill: Lev 8:26 - And out of the basket of unleavened bread // that was before the Lord // he took one unleavened cake // and a cake of oiled bread // and one wafer // and put them upon the fat, and upon the right shoulder And out of the basket of unleavened bread,.... Moses was ordered to take, Lev 8:2,
that was before the Lord; being brought to the tabernacle, wher...
And out of the basket of unleavened bread,.... Moses was ordered to take, Lev 8:2,
that was before the Lord; being brought to the tabernacle, where now the Lord had taken up his residence:
he took one unleavened cake; which had no oil in it or upon it:
and a cake of oiled bread; which was mixed and tempered with oil:
and one wafer; which was anointed with oil:
and put them upon the fat, and upon the right shoulder; of the ram of consecration, which he took from it, and laid the cakes uppermost upon them.
Gill: Lev 8:27 - And he put all upon Aaron's hands, and upon his son's hands // and waved them for a wave offering before the Lord And he put all upon Aaron's hands, and upon his son's hands,.... The fat and the right shoulder, with the cakes upon them:
and waved them for a wa...
And he put all upon Aaron's hands, and upon his son's hands,.... The fat and the right shoulder, with the cakes upon them:
and waved them for a wave offering before the Lord; See Gill on Exo 29:24.
Gill: Lev 8:28 - And Moses took them from off their hands // and burnt them upon the altar, upon the burnt offering // they were consecrated for a sweet savour // it is an offering made by fire unto the Lord And Moses took them from off their hands,.... After they had been waved before the Lord:
and burnt them upon the altar, upon the burnt offering; o...
And Moses took them from off their hands,.... After they had been waved before the Lord:
and burnt them upon the altar, upon the burnt offering; of the other ram; or after that burnt offering, as Jarchi, who observes, that we do not find that the shoulder of peace offerings was offered in any place but this, it belonged to the priest; but this being at the consecration of the priests, it was offered to the Lord by Moses, to whom it seems to have belonged, as the breast also, but that was not burnt, but eaten: and the same writer affirms, that Moses ministered all the seven days of the consecration in a white shirt, or surplice; and that he might wear a linen coat, as priests did, is not improbable, since he now officiated as one:
they were consecrated for a sweet savour; acceptable to the Lord, and so the priests, Aaron and his sons likewise, on whose account they were made:
it is an offering made by fire unto the Lord; the fat, the shoulder, and the cakes.
Gill: Lev 8:29 - And Moses took the breast // and waved it for a wave offering before the Lord // for of the ram of consecration it was Moses's part // as the Lord commanded Moses And Moses took the breast,.... Of the ram of consecration:
and waved it for a wave offering before the Lord; this Moses seems to have waved with hi...
And Moses took the breast,.... Of the ram of consecration:
and waved it for a wave offering before the Lord; this Moses seems to have waved with his own hands, and not upon the hands of Aaron and his sons, putting his under them, as in the wave offering of the fat, shoulder, and cakes, and for which the following words seem to give a reason:
for of the ram of consecration it was Moses's part; the breast of it was his:
as the Lord commanded Moses; see Exo 29:26.
Gill: Lev 8:30 - And Moses took of the anointing oil, and of the blood which was upon the altar // and sprinkled it upon Aaron And Moses took of the anointing oil, and of the blood which was upon the altar,.... Which was sprinkled upon the altar round about, Lev 8:24 and these...
Gill: Lev 8:31 - 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 consecration // as I commanded, saying, Aaron and his sons shall eat it And Moses said unto Aaron, and to his sons,.... After he had offered the bullock, the two rams, and cakes of unleavened bread for the consecration of ...
And Moses said unto Aaron, and to his sons,.... After he had offered the bullock, the two rams, and cakes of unleavened bread for the consecration of them:
boil the flesh at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation; the remainder of the flesh of the ram of consecration, which was all but the fat, the shoulder, and the breast:
and there eat it with the bread that is in the basket of consecration; what was left of that, there being one cake of a sort taken out of it and burnt:
as I commanded, saying, Aaron and his sons shall eat it; see Exo 29:32.
Gill: Lev 8:32 - And that which remaineth of the flesh and of the bread // shall ye burn with fire And that which remaineth of the flesh and of the bread,.... Until the next morning, which could not be eaten by Aaron and his sons:
shall ye burn w...
And that which remaineth of the flesh and of the bread,.... Until the next morning, which could not be eaten by Aaron and his sons:
shall ye burn with fire; that it might not be corrupted, nor put to common nor superstitious uses.
Gill: Lev 8:33 - And ye shall not go out of the door of the tabernacle of the congregation in seven days // until the days of your consecration be at an end // for seven days shall he consecrate you And ye shall not go out of the door of the tabernacle of the congregation in seven days,.... Which was the time of their consecration, so long it las...
And ye shall not go out of the door of the tabernacle of the congregation in seven days,.... Which was the time of their consecration, so long it lasted; and they had provision enough every day from the ram of consecration, whose flesh they were to boil and eat. The Jewish writers c are puzzled where they should ease nature, since the place was holy; but the orders are not to be considered as so strict but that they might go in and out, though they were not to stay long, or to attend to any other business; and it was always necessary there should be some upon the spot, keeping the Lord's charge in their turns; and it was always requisite that they should also sleep alternately; for it cannot be thought that they should be all this time without rest, any more than without food:
until the days of your consecration be at an end; which were to continue so long:
for seven days shall he consecrate you; that is, Moses, who here speaks of himself in the third person, as appears from Exo 29:35. Aben Ezra observes, that the word "end" is wanting, and that the sense is, at the end of seven days he shall consecrate you, finish their consecration; all the seven days he was doing it, and at the end of the seventh concluded it.
Gill: Lev 8:34 - As he hath done this day, so the Lord hath commanded to do // to make an atonement for you As he hath done this day, so the Lord hath commanded to do,.... The same were to be repeated every day until the seven days were ended; so Jarchi and...
As he hath done this day, so the Lord hath commanded to do,.... The same were to be repeated every day until the seven days were ended; so Jarchi and Aben Ezra; the former of these observes, that their Rabbins explain the phrase "to do", in the preceding clause, of the business of the red heifer, and that which follows:
to make an atonement for you, of the business of the day of atonement; and say, that it may be learned from hence that the high priest was obliged to be separate (from his own house and family) seven days before that, and so the priest that burned the red heifer; and the same is observed by other Jewish writers d: but this refers to neither of these cases, but to the present consecration of Aaron and his sons, and the making atonement by sacrifice for them, and the sanctification of them to minister in the priest's office.
Gill: Lev 8:35 - Therefore shall ye abide at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation // day and night, seven days // and keep the charge of the Lord, that ye die not // for so I am commanded Therefore shall ye abide at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation,.... Or rather "within" it, as Noldius renders it, since they were not to g...
Therefore shall ye abide at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation,.... Or rather "within" it, as Noldius renders it, since they were not to go out of the door of it, Lev 8:33 whereas our version seems to leave it undetermined whether they abode without the door or within; where they were to continue:
day and night, seven days; even the seven days of their consecration:
and keep the charge of the Lord, that ye die not; not the charge of the tabernacle, and the service of it committed to them upon their investiture with their office, hereafter to be observed by them; but what was charged upon them to attend unto, during the seven days of their consecration; and the penalty being death in case of failure, was to make them more careful and cautious of transgressing; and which was the more necessary, as they were to be pure and holy at their entrance upon their work: and though this may seem somewhat severe, yet the aggravation of their sin would be the greater, as it was to a sacred and honourable work they were called, and to which they were now consecrating; and as what was required of them was what might easily be complied with: however Moses, to show that this was not of himself, but by divine authority, adds:
for so I am commanded; that is, to declare unto them, that if they did not punctually observe the above orders, they must expect to die.
Gill: Lev 8:36 - So Aaron and his sons did all things which the Lord commanded by the hand of Moses. So Aaron and his sons did all things which the Lord commanded by the hand of Moses. They submitted to have them done to them, and for them, what was d...
So Aaron and his sons did all things which the Lord commanded by the hand of Moses. They submitted to have them done to them, and for them, what was done on the first day of their consecration, all the rest of the days; and they kept within the tabernacle all that time as was enjoined them.
