Leviticus 8:15 - Forerunner Commentary

Leviticus 8:15

13 ^aThen Moses brought Aaron’s sons and put tunics on them, girded them with sashes, and put¹ hats on them, as the Lord had commanded Moses.

14 ^aAnd he brought the bull for the sin offering. Then Aaron and his sons ^blaid their hands on the head of the bull for the sin offering,

15 and Moses killed it. ^aThen he took the blood, and put some on the horns of the altar all around with his finger, and purified the altar. And he poured the blood at the base of the altar, and consecrated it, to make¹ atonement for it.

16 ^aThen he took all the fat that was on the entrails, the fatty lobe attached to the liver, and the two kidneys with their fat, and Moses burned them on the altar.

17 But the bull, its hide, its flesh, and its offal, he burned with fire outside the camp, as the Lord ^ahad commanded Moses.

18 ^aThen he brought the ram as the burnt offering. And Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram,

19 and Moses killed it. Then he sprinkled the blood all around on the altar.

20 And he cut the ram into pieces; and Moses ^aburned the head, the pieces, and the fat.

21 Then he washed the entrails and the legs in water. And Moses burned the whole ram on the altar. It was a burnt sacrifice for a¹ sweet aroma, an offering made by fire to the Lord, ^aas the Lord had commanded Moses.

22 And ^ahe brought the second ram, the ram of consecration. Then Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram,

23 and Moses killed it. Also he took some of ^aits blood and put it on the tip of Aaron’s right ear, on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot.

24 Then he brought Aaron’s sons. And Moses put some of the ^ablood on the tips of their right ears, on the thumbs of their right hands, and on the big toes of their right feet. And Moses sprinkled the blood all around on the altar.

25 ^aThen he took the fat and the fat tail, all the fat that was on the entrails, the fatty lobe attached to the liver, the two kidneys and their fat, and the right thigh;

26 ^aand from the basket of unleavened bread that was before the Lord he took one unleavened cake, a cake of bread anointed with oil, and one wafer, and put them on the fat and on the right thigh;

27 and he put all these ^ain Aaron’s hands and in his sons’ hands, and waved them as a wave offering before the Lord.

28 ^aThen Moses took them from their hands and burned them on the altar, on the burnt offering. They were consecration offerings for a sweet aroma. That was an offering made by fire to the Lord.

29 And ^aMoses took the ^bbreast and waved it as a wave offering before the Lord. It was Moses’ ^cpart of the ram of consecration, as the Lord had commanded Moses.

30 Then ^aMoses took some of the anointing oil and some of the blood which was on the altar, and sprinkled it on Aaron, on his garments, on his sons, and on the garments of his sons with him; and he consecrated Aaron, his garments, his sons, and the garments of his sons with him.

31 And Moses said to Aaron and his sons, ^a“Boil the flesh at the door of the tabernacle of meeting, and eat it there with the bread that is in the basket of consecration offerings, as I commanded, saying, ‘Aaron and his sons shall eat it.’

32 ^aWhat remains of the flesh and of the bread you shall burn with fire.

33 And you shall not go outside the door of the tabernacle of meeting for seven days, until the days of your consecration are ended. For ^aseven days he shall consecrate you.

34 ^aAs he has done this day, so the Lord has commanded to do, to make atonement for you.

35 Therefore you shall stay at the door of the tabernacle of meeting day and night for seven days, and ^akeep the charge of the Lord, so that you may not die; for so I have been commanded.”

36 So Aaron and his sons did all the things that the Lord had commanded by the hand of Moses.
