Contextual Overview

¹ God spoke to Moses: He said, "Take Aaron and with him his sons, the garments, the anointing oil, the bull for the Absolution-Offering, the two rams, and the basket of unraised bread. Gather the entire congregation at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting." Moses did just as God commanded him and the congregation gathered at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting. ⁵ Moses addressed the congregation: "This is what God has commanded to be done." ⁶Moses brought Aaron and his sons forward and washed them with water. He put the tunic on Aaron and tied it around him with a sash. Then he put the robe on him and placed the Ephod on him. He fastened the Ephod with a woven belt, making it snug. He put the Breastpiece on him and put the Urim and Thummim in the pouch of the Breastpiece. He placed the turban on his head with the gold plate fixed to the front of it, the holy crown, just as God had commanded Moses. ¹⁰Then Moses took the anointing oil and anointed The Dwelling and everything that was in it, consecrating them. He sprinkled some of the oil on the Altar seven times, anointing the Altar and all its utensils, the Washbasin and its stand, consecrating them. He poured some of the anointing oil on Aaron's head, anointing him and thus consecrating him. ¹³ Moses brought Aaron's sons forward and put tunics on them, belted them with sashes, and put caps on them, just as God had commanded Moses.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

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.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER VIII

Moses is commanded to consecrate Aaron and his sons, 1-3.

Moses convenes the congregation; washes, clothes, and anoints

Aaron, 4-12.

He also clothes Aaron's sons, 13.

Offers a bullock for them as a sin-offering, 14-17.

And a ram for a burnt-offering, 18-21.

And another ram for a consecration-offering, 22-24.

The fat, with cakes of unleavened bread, and the right shoulder

of the ram, he offers as a wave-offering, and afterwards burns,

25-28.

The breast, which was the part of Moses, he also waves, 29.

And sprinkles oil and blood upon Aaron and his sons, 30.

The flesh of the consecration ram is to be boiled and eaten at

the door of the tabernacle, 31, 32.

Moses commands Aaron and his sons to abide seven days at the

door of the tabernacle of the congregation, which they do

accordingly, 33-36.
