Leviticus 8:1

The Consecration of Aaron and his sons(Leviticus 8:1-17)

1. See critical note on these Chapter s in App. I (b), pp. 159 ff.

Instructions to consecrate Aaron and his sons have already been given, Exodus 29:1-37. The account given in this chapter follows very closely the words of Exodus 29, with which it should be carefully compared.

The ceremonies connected with the consecration were: (a) washing (Leviticus 8:6), (b) vesting (Leviticus 8:7; Leviticus 8:13), (c) anointing (Leviticus 8:10), (d) offering sacrifices, which were of three kinds; (1) a Sin-Offering (Leviticus 8:14), (2) a Burnt-Offering (Leviticus 8:18), (3) the ram of consecration (Leviticus 8:22), which was treated as a Peace-Offering, but with additional ritual appropriate to the special occasion.
