Context

Moses Consecrates Aaron and His Sons

²“Take Aaron and his sons, their garments, the anointing oil, the bull of the sin offering, the two rams, and the basket of unleavened bread,³and assemble the whole congregation at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.”

Summary

In Leviticus 8:3, Moses gathers the entire congregation of Israel to witness the consecration of Aaron and his sons as priests. This public ceremony signifies the official beginning of their priestly duties and highlights the importance of community involvement in religious rituals. By involving the people in this consecration, God emphasizes the communal aspect of worship and the shared responsibility of upholding the priesthood. This event also serves as a reminder of the sacredness of the priestly office and the need for divine consecration in serving God's people.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

gather thou all the congregation together, &c.--It was manifestly expedient for the Israelitish people to be satisfied that Aaron's appointment to the high dignity of the priesthood was not a personal intrusion, nor a family arrangement between him and Moses; and nothing, therefore, could be a more prudent or necessary measure, for impressing a profound conviction of the divine origin and authority of the priestly institution, than to summon a general assembly of the people, and in their presence perform the solemn ceremonies of inauguration, which had been prescribed by divine authority.

Moses Consecrates Aaron and His Sons

²“Take Aaron and his sons, their garments, the anointing oil, the bull of the sin offering, the two rams, and the basket of unleavened bread,³and assemble the whole congregation at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.”
