Contextual Overview

1"And this [is] the thing which you do to them, to hallow them, for being priests to Me: take one bullock, a son of the herd, and two rams, perfect ones, 2and unleavened bread, and unleavened cakes anointed with oil; you make them of fine wheat flour, 3and you have put them on one basket, and have brought them near in the basket, also the bullock and the two rams. 4And you bring Aaron and his sons near to the opening of the Tent of Meeting, and have bathed them with water; 5and you have taken the garments, and have clothed Aaron with the coat, and the upper robe of the ephod, and the ephod, and the breastplate, and have girded him with the girdle of the ephod, 6and have set the turban on his head, and have put the holy crown on the turban, 7and have taken the anointing oil, and have poured [it] on his head, and have anointed him. 8And you bring his sons near, and have clothed them [with] coats, 9and have girded them [with] a girdle (Aaron and his sons), and have bound caps on them; and the priesthood has been theirs by a continuous statute, and you have consecrated the hand of Aaron, and the hand of his sons, 10and have brought the bullock near before the Tent of Meeting, and Aaron has laid—his sons also—their hands on the head of the bullock.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And thou shalt slay the ram,.... As he was ordered to slay the bullock, acting in this as a priest, as in that:

and thou shall take his blood, and sprinkle it round about upon the altar; the blood being received into a basin, it was not to be put upon the altar with the finger, as the blood of the bullock, but was to be sprinkled probably with a bunch of hyssop, round about upon the altar, on the top and sides: as the deity of Christ is the altar which sanctifies every gift, this may signify that his blood has its virtue and efficacy from that, to make atonement for the sins of men, and to cleanse them from them.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Door of the tabernacle - Entrance of the tent. See Leviticus 8:3.
