Contextual Overview

1 The Lord said to Moses, 2 "Bring Aaron and his sons and their clothes, the special olive oil used in appointing people and things to the service of the Lord , the bull of the sin offering and the two male sheep, and the basket of bread made without yeast. 3 Then gather the people together at the entrance to the Meeting Tent." 4 Moses did as the Lord commanded him, and the people met together at the entrance to the Meeting Tent. 5 Then Moses spoke to the people and said, "This is what the Lord has commanded to be done." 6 Bringing Aaron and his sons forward, Moses washed them with water. 7 He put the inner robe on Aaron and tied the cloth belt around him. Then Moses put the outer robe on him and placed the holy vest on him. He tied the skillfully woven belt around him so that the holy vest was tied to Aaron. 8 Then Moses put the chest covering on him and put the Urim and the Thummim in the chest covering. 9 He also put the turban on Aaron's head. He put the strip of gold, the holy crown, on the front of the turban, as the Lord commanded him to do. 10 Then Moses put the special oil on the Holy Tent and everything in it, making them holy for the Lord .

Gill's Notes on the Bible

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.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Gather ... - Rather, gather all the assembly together toward the entrance of the tent of meeting. See Leviticus 4:13. The whole body of the people were summoned on this occasion, and the elders probably occupied the first places. The elders are especially called together in an unequivocal manner to receive directions to provide the first sacrifices for the nation to be offered by the newly consecrated priests Leviticus 9:1, and the body of the people afterward assemble as they do here Leviticus 9:5. The spot designated was the portion of the court in front of the tabernacle (see Leviticus 1:3 note). Toward this space the people were commanded to assemble to witness the great national ceremony of the consecration of the priesthood, the solemn setting apart of one of their families, the members of which were henceforth to stand as mediators between them and Yahweh in carrying out the precepts of the ceremonial law. Those who could do so, may have come into the court, and a great number of others may have occupied the heights which overlooked the enclosure of the court. As the series of ceremonies was repeated every day during a week Leviticus 8:33, it is natural to suppose that some of the people attended on one day and some on another.
