Summary

In Leviticus 8:19, we see the ritual of the ordination of Aaron and his sons as priests in the tabernacle. This verse specifically mentions the offering of the ram as a sacrifice, symbolizing consecration and dedication to the service of God. The act of laying hands on the ram before it was slaughtered signifies the transfer of sins and impurities onto the sacrificial animal, a foreshadowing of Jesus Christ as the ultimate atoning sacrifice for humanity. This ceremony highlights the importance of purity and obedience in the priesthood, pointing to the need for spiritual cleansing and sanctification in serving God.
