Moses Consecrates Aaron and His Sons

¹²He also poured some of the anointing oil on Aaron’s head and anointed him to consecrate him.¹³Then Moses presented Aaron’s sons, put tunics on them, wrapped sashes around them, and tied headbands on them, just as the LORD had commanded him.

Summary

In Leviticus 8:13, we see the anointing oil being poured on Aaron's head, symbolizing his consecration as the high priest. This act signified God's chosen leader being set apart for holy service and empowered by the Spirit for his role. The anointing oil represents the presence and favor of God, equipping Aaron with divine authority and wisdom to fulfill his duties. This verse foreshadows Jesus Christ as the ultimate High Priest anointed by the Holy Spirit for His redemptive work on behalf of humanity. It also teaches us about the importance of consecration and reliance on God's empowerment for serving Him faithfully.

John Gill Bible Commentary

And Moses brought Aaron's sons,.... His four sons, Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation; he ordered and directed them to come there, or sent proper persons to fetch them, or from one part of the court, where they were, he might accompany them thither: and put coats upon them, and girded them with girdles: which were made of fine linen, Exo 39:27 and the coats being made long to reach down to the ankles, needed girdles, especially when in service, that they might perform it more expeditiously: and put bonnets on them; which were made of fine linen also, and differed from the mitre of the high priest only in the manner of rolling up the linen: as the Lord commanded Moses; as all the above things were made, so they were all put on, according to the directions Moses received of the Lord, who was faithful in his house, with respect to everything he enjoined him, Heb 3:2.
