36 which the Lord commanded to be given them of the children
of Israel, in the day that he anointed them, by a statute for ever throughout their generations.
37 This is the law of the burnt offering, of the meat offering, and of
the sin offering, and of the trespass offering, and of the consecrations, and of the sacrifice of the peace offerings;
38 which the Lord commanded Moses in Mount Sinai, in the day
that he commanded the children of Israel to offer their oblations unto the Lord, in the wilderness of Sinai.
Leviticus-8
The Consecration of Aaron and His Sons
1 And the Lord Spake unto Moses, saying, 2 Take Aaron and his sons with him, and the garments, and the
anointing oil, and a bullock for the sin offering, and two rams, and a basket of unleavened bread;
The orders repeated. What was there commanded to be done is here commanded to be done now, Le 8:2,3. The tabernacle was newly set up, which, without the priests, would be as a candlestick without a candle; the law concerning sacrifices was newly given, but could not be observed without priests; for, though Aaron and his sons had been nominated to the office, they could not officiate, till they were consecrated, which yet must not be done till the place of their ministration was prepared, and the ordinances were instituted, that they might apply themselves to work as soon as ever they were consecrated, and might know that they were ordained, not only to the honour and profit, but to the business of the priesthood. Aaron and his sons were near relations to Moses, and therefore he would not consecrate them till he had further orders, lest he should seem too forward to bring honour into his family.
3 and gather thou all the congregation together unto the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation.
