Leviticus 8:30-36 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Leviticus 8:14-30

The covenant of priesthood must be made by sacrifice, as well as other covenants, Ps. 50:5. And thus Christ was consecrated by the sacrifice of himself, once for all. Sacrifices of each kind must be offered for the priests, that they might with the more tenderness and concern offer the gifts and sacrifices of the people, with compassion on the ignorant, and on those that were out of the way, not insulting over those for whom sacrifices were offered, remembering that they themselves had had... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Leviticus 8:31-36

Moses, having done his part of the ceremony, now leaves Aaron and his sons to do theirs. I. They must boil the flesh of their peace-offering, and eat it in the court of the tabernacle, and what remained they must burn with fire, Lev. 8:31, 32. This signified their thankful consent to the consecration: when God gave Ezekiel his commission, he told him to eat the roll, Ezek. 3:1, 2. II. They must not stir out of the court of the tabernacle for seven days, Lev. 8:33. The priesthood being a good... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 8:30

And Moses took of the anointing oil, and of the blood which was upon the altar ,.... Which was sprinkled upon the altar round about, Leviticus 8:24 and these two seem to be mixed together, since it follows: and sprinkled it upon Aaron , &c.; See Gill on Exodus 29:21 . read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 8:31

And Moses said unto Aaron, and to his sons ,.... After he had offered the bullock, the two rams, and cakes of unleavened bread for the consecration of them: boil the flesh at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation ; the remainder of the flesh of the ram of consecration, which was all but the fat, the shoulder, and the breast: and there eat it with the bread that is in the basket of consecration ; what was left of that, there being one cake of a sort taken out of it and burnt:... read more

And that which remaineth of the flesh and of the bread ,.... Until the next morning, which could not be eaten by Aaron and his sons: shall ye burn with fire ; that it might not be corrupted, nor put to common nor superstitious uses. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 8:33

And ye shall not go out of the door of the tabernacle of the congregation in seven days ,.... Which was the time of their consecration, so long it lasted; and they had provision enough every day from the ram of consecration, whose flesh they were to boil and eat. The Jewish writers F3 Aben Ezra, Hiscuni in loc. are puzzled where they should ease nature, since the place was holy; but the orders are not to be considered as so strict but that they might go in and out, though they were... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 8:34

As he hath done this day, so the Lord hath commanded to do ,.... The same were to be repeated every day until the seven days were ended; so Jarchi and Aben Ezra; the former of these observes, that their Rabbins explain the phrase "to do", in the preceding clause, of the business of the red heifer, and that which follows: to make an atonement for you , of the business of the day of atonement; and say, that it may be learned from hence that the high priest was obliged to be separate... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 8:35

Therefore shall ye abide at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation ,.... Or rather "within" it, as Noldius renders it, since they were not to go out of the door of it, Leviticus 8:33 whereas our version seems to leave it undetermined whether they abode without the door or within; where they were to continue: day and night, seven days ; even the seven days of their consecration: and keep the charge of the Lord, that ye die not ; not the charge of the tabernacle, and the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 8:36

So Aaron and his sons did all things which the Lord commanded by the hand of Moses. They submitted to have them done to them, and for them, what was done on the first day of their consecration, all the rest of the days; and they kept within the tabernacle all that time as was enjoined them. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 8:30

And Moses took - the blood - and sprinkled it upon Aaron, etc. - Thus we find that the high priest himself must be sprinkled with the blood of the sacrifice; and our blessed Lord, of whom Aaron was a type, was sprinkled with his own blood. In his agony in the garden. In his being crowned with thorns. In the piercing of his hands and his feet. And, 4. In his side being pierced with the spear. All these were so many acts of atonement performed by the high priest. read more
