Leviticus 8:1-36

Hello...and Welcome! Today we read through Leviticus 8:1-36

1Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

2"Take Aaron and his sons with him, and the garments and the anointing oil and the bull of the sin offering, and the two rams and the basket of unleavened bread,
3and assemble all the congregation at the doorway of the tent of meeting."

Moses summoned his sons and did as the Lord had commanded him. After he put blood on the earlobe of his sons and said to them and Aaron...

31Then Moses said to Aaron and to his sons, "Boil the flesh at the doorway of the tent of meeting, and eat it there together with the bread which is in the basket of the ordination offering, just as I commanded, saying, 'Aaron and his sons shall eat it.'
32"The remainder of the flesh and of the bread you shall burn in the fire.
33"You shall not go outside the doorway of the tent of meeting for seven days, until the day that the period of your ordination is fulfilled; for he will ordain you through seven days.

34"The LORD has commanded to do as has been done this day, to make atonement on your behalf.


36Thus Aaron and his sons did all the things which the LORD had commanded through Moses.

~Previous to the time of Moses sacrifices were offered by Heads of the Families. But now, the nation organized, a place set apart for sacrifice and the ritual prescribed a special Hereditary order of men was created.(Haley's handbook)
