MOSES CONSECRATES AARON AND HIS SONS. (Lev. 8:1-36)
Take Aaron and his sons--The consecration of Aaron and his sons had been ordered long before (Exo. 29:1-46), but it is now described with all the details of the ceremonial, as it was gone through after the tabernacle was completed and the regulations for the various sacrifices enacted. |
Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
A bullock ... two rams ... a basket - compare Exo 29:1-3. This shows the coherence of this part of Leviticus with the latter part of Exodus. The basket of unleavened bread used on this occasion appears to have contained:
(1) cakes or loaves of the ordinary unleavened bread;
(2) cakes of oiled bread, rather, oil bread (see Lev 2:1, Lev 2:4); and
(3) oiled wafers (see Lev 2:4, Lev 2:6).
Rabbinical tradition says that there were six cakes of each sort. |
The Scofield Bible Commentary, by Cyrus Ingerson Scofield, [1917] |
Aaron
The priests did not consecrate themselves, all was done by another, in this instance Moses, acting for Jehovah. The priests simply presented their bodies in the sense of (Rom 12:1). |
Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
Take Aaron and his sons - The whole subject of this chapter has been anticipated in the notes, Exo 28:1 (note), etc., and Exo 29:1 (note), etc., in which all the sacrifices, rites, and ceremonies have been explained in considerable detail; and to those notes the reader is referred. It is only necessary to observe that Aaron and his sons were not anointed until now. Before, the thing was commanded; now, first performed. |
6 Thou shalt part it in pieces, and pour oil thereon: it is a meat offering.
4 And if thou bring an oblation of a meat offering baken in the oven, it shall be unleavened cakes of fine flour mingled with oil, or unleavened wafers anointed with oil.

2 And unleavened bread, and cakes unleavened tempered with oil, and wafers unleavened anointed with oil: of wheaten flour shalt thou make them.
3 And thou shalt put them into one basket, and bring them in the basket, with the bullock and the two rams.
1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
1 And this is the thing that thou shalt do unto them to hallow them, to minister unto me in the priest's office: Take one young bullock, and two rams without blemish,
