Leviticus 8:30

And Moses took of the anointing oil In Exodus 29:21 this ceremony is enjoined beforethe offering of Leviticus 8:25 = Exodus 29:22-26. It is not clear whether the oil and the blood are mingled together for one sprinkling (here the word is a correct rendering of the Heb.), or whether each is sprinkled separately. The difference of order in Exodus 29:21, where the blood is mentioned before the oil, is easily explained on the first hypothesis, but a separate sprinkling seems required if the ceremonial described in this verse is regarded as carrying out the injunctions of Exodus 28:41 to anoint Aaron and his sons. See note on Leviticus 8:13. The reason for sprinkling Aaron with oil after the anointing of Leviticus 8:12 is not apparent. The absence of the conjunction after Aaron twice in the Heb. text of this verse (note andA.V., twice in italics, omitted in R.V.), may indicate a doubt whether any further unction of Aaron was necessary. But the injunction in Exodus 29:21 is definite, including the person of Aaron as well as his garments.
