Leviticus 8:10-12

We find here the consecration of the priesthood to the service of God at the tabernacle—that is, empowering them to act in God's behalf for the people in making the sacrifices.

Remember the anointing oil is a type of the Holy Spirit of God. We find the Holy Spirit, as it were, being given to Aaron for the purpose of carrying out his spiritual responsibilities to act as high priest between God and the people. So, he is empowered and set apart—sanctified—to do this job.
