Lev. 8:1–10:20 The Establishment of the Priesthood. The book of Exodus ends with the construction of the tabernacle (Exodus 35–40), and Leviticus 1–7 provides a manual for sacrifice in the tabernacle. Now, ch. 8 records the installation of the priesthood; ch. 9 describes the first services in the tabernacle; and ch. 10 tells about an occasion when priests did not obey the Lord’s words, and also gives instructions on worship.
Lev. 8:1–4 Nearly one-third of the uses of the word commanded in Leviticus appear in ch. 8. As he learns of the Lord’s commands, Moses is completely obedient. entrance of the tent of meeting. That is, the entrance to the screened-off courtyard of the tabernacle.
Lev. 8:8 On Urim and Thummim, see note on Ex. 28:30.
Lev. 8:10–13 Anointing the tabernacle and its utensils with oil (Ex. 30:22–33) sets apart these items for holy use.
Lev. 8:14–17 Moses presents a sin offering to purify the priesthood and the altar.
Lev. 8:18–21 Compare Ex. 29:15–18 and Leviticus 1. Aaron and his sons dedicate themselves by offering a ram as a burnt offering. The use of this animal, which is probably costlier than a goat (compare 4:28 with 5:15; 18; 6:6), shows the greater importance of Aaron and his sons compared to the other priests.
Lev. 8:22–29 The second ram is for the sacrifice of installation. Placing its blood on the right extremities of the priests represents total dedication and purification.
Lev. 8:31–36 This is a meal of covenant agreement, symbolizing the bond between the Lord and his priesthood.
