Contextual Overview

¹ "Now this is what you are to do for them to consecrate them so that they may minister as my priests. Take a young bull and two rams without blemish; ² and bread made without yeast, and perforated cakes without yeast mixed with oil, and wafers without yeast spread with oil—you are to make them using fine wheat flour. ³ You are to put them in one basket and present them in the basket, along with the bull and the two rams. ⁴ "You are to present Aaron and his sons at the entrance of the tent of meeting. You are to wash them with water ⁵ and take the garments and clothe Aaron with the tunic, the robe of the ephod, the ephod, and the breastpiece; you are to fasten the ephod on him by using the skillfully woven waistband. ⁶ You are to put the turban on his head and put the holy diadem on the turban. ⁷ You are to take the anointing oil and pour it on his head and anoint him. ⁸ You are to present his sons and clothe them with tunics ⁹ and wrap the sashes around Aaron and his sons and put headbands on them, and so the ministry of priesthood will belong to them by a perpetual ordinance. Thus you are to consecrate Aaron and his sons. ¹⁰ "You are to present the bull at the front of the tent of meeting, and Aaron and his sons are to put their hands on the head of the bull.

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.
