18 And he brought the ram for the burnt offering: and Aaron and his
sons laid their hands upon the head of the ram.
19 And he killed it; and Moses sprinkled the blood upon the altar
round about.
A ram was offered for a burnt-offering, Le 8:18-21. By this they gave to God the glory of this great honour which was now put upon them, and returned him praise for it, as Paul thanked Christ Jesus for putting him into the ministry, 1Ti 1:12. They also signified the devoting of themselves and all their services to the honour of God.
20 And he cut the ram into pieces; and Moses burnt the head, and the
pieces, and the fat.
21 And he washed the inwards and the legs in water; and Moses burnt
the whole ram upon the altar: it was a burnt sacrifice for a sweet savor, and an offering made by fire unto the Lord; as the Lord commanded Moses.
22 And he brought the other ram, the ram of consecration: and
Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the ram.
Another ram, called the ram of consecration, was offered for a peace-offering, Le 8:22, &c. The blood of it was part put on the priests, on their ears, thumbs, and toes, and part sprinkled upon the altar; and thus he did (as it were) marry them to the altar, upon which they must all their days give attendance. All the ceremonies about this offering, as those before, were appointed by the express command of God; and, if we compare this chapter with Ex 29:1-46, we shall find that the performance of the solemnity exactly agrees with the precept there, and in nothing varies. Here, therefore, as in the account we had of the tabernacle and its vessels, it is again and again repeated, As the Lord commanded Moses. And thus Christ, when he sanctified himself with his own blood, had an eye to his Father's will in it. As the Father gave me commandment so I do, Joh 14:31,Joh 10:18,Joh 6:38.
23 And he slew it; and Moses took of the blood of it, and put it upon
the tip of Aaron’s right ear, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot.
