Leviticus 8
This chapter gives an account of the consecration of Aaron
and his sins before the congregation, Moses washes and dresses
them, ver. 1-9. Anoints the tabernacle with its utensils, and Aaron,
ver. 10-12. Clothes his sons, ver. 13. Offers for them a sin-
offering, ver. 14-17. A burnt-offering, ver. 18-21. The ram of
consecration, ver. 22-30. Declares to them God's charge, which
they perform, ver. 31-36.
Verse 3. All the congregation - The elders who represented all, and as
many of the people as would, and could get thither, that all might
be witnesses both of Aaron's commission from God, and of his
work and business.
Verse 12. He poured - In a plentiful manner, as appears from Psalm
1xxxiii, 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.
Verse 14. The bullock - There were indeed seven bullocks to be offered
at his consecration, one every day; but here he mentions only one,
because he here describes only the work of the first day.
Verse 17. His hide - Which in the offerings for the people was not burnt,
but given to the priest.
Verse 18. He brought the ram - Hereby they gave to God the glory of
this great honour which was put upon them: and also signified the
devoting themselves and all their service to God.
Verse 19. He - Either Moses, as in the following clause, or some other
person by his appointment; which may be the reason why he is
not named here, as he is to the sprinkling of the blood, which was
an action more proper to the priest, and more essential to the
sacrifice.
Verse 29. Moses's part - Who at this time administering the priest's
office was to receive the priest's wages.
Verse 31. The flesh - That which was left of the ram, and particularly the
breast, which was said to be Moses's part, ver. 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.
Verse 33. Seven days - In each of which the same ceremonies were to be
repeated, and other rites to be performed. He - Either God or
Moses; for the words may be spoken by Moses, either in God's
name or in his own; Moses speaking of himself in the third
person, which is very common in scripture.
Verse 36. So Aaron and his sons did all things - And thus the covenant
of life and peace, Mal. ii, 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. vii, 21. For neither these
priests, nor their priesthood was to continue. But His is a
perpetual and unchangeable priesthood.
