Summary

In Leviticus 8:17, we see the consecration of the ram of ordination, where its blood is sprinkled on the altar as a symbol of atonement for the priests. This act signifies the priests' dedication to serving God and the people, highlighting the importance of purity and sanctification in their roles. The ritual foreshadows the ultimate atonement that Jesus Christ would provide for all believers, emphasizing the need for a mediator between God and humanity. Leviticus 8:17 underscores the significance of sacrifice and consecration in the Old Testament priesthood, pointing towards the fulfillment of these practices in the New Testament through Christ's sacrificial death.

Commentary

John Gill Bible Commentary

But the bullock and his hide, his flesh, and his dung, he burnt with fire without the camp,.... Aben Ezra observes, that some say that he did this himself; and others, that it was done by orders, that is, he ordered others to do it, which seems probable enough: as the Lord commanded Moses; Exo 29:14.
