Lev. Ch. 8 continued....

as the high priest. After preparing and consecrating all of the offerings, Moses took some anointing oil and some blood from the altar where the sacrifices were burning and sprinkled it on Aaron, on his garments, on his sons, and on their garments. Thus fully consecrating them from head to toe. We, too, are anointed with the blood of Jesus and the oil of the Holy Spirit to consecrate us to God for the service He has determined for us to do in our lives. The priests served every day. So do we.

After all of this Moses told Aaron to boil the flesh of the ram at the door of the tabernacle and then he and his sons were to eat it with the bread that remained of the consecrated bread. They were to eat in within the tabernacle enclosure and they could not leave the tabernacle for 7 days. Thus they were atoned for and consecrated to YHWH. Their "dwelling" was in the tent of YHWH for this time.

We are "in Christ" when we are saved. We are set apart for service to God for the rest of our lives just as the priest were to spend all of their lives serving YHWH through these ordinances and rites.

Jesus is our High Priest. His human nature was consecrated to the Father from the moment of His conception in Mary. He lived His human life in obedience to God without ever sinning, so He was the Perfect One to which all of these sacrifices and anointings shadowed. The chapter ends with Aaron and his sons doing all that the LORD had commanded. That is what Jesus did, only He did this for all of His human life, never faltering, never disobeying, never unwilling. He said that His food was to do the will of His Father. Praise be to Him. He is everything we need to be saved and to be made priests unto God!

Leviticus Chapter 8 continued...

of the world, assenting to the eternal plan and covenant made between the members of the Godhead for the redemption of sinful humans. Jesus agreed to cloth his Deity with humanity to become the perfect sacrifice for atonement for sin, the perfect burnt offering for the mediation of the covenant between mankind and YHWH, and the perfect offering that consecrated all believers as priest unto God. All these sacrifices were done upon the cross of Christ.

Moses took some of the blood of the consecrated ram and anointed Aaron and his sons with it, placing it on their right ear, right thumb, and big toe of their right foot.

He took one loave from the basket of unleavened bread, and one cake, and one wafer and put them upon the fat on the right thigh of the sacrifice. Moses gave these breads to Aaron and his sons, placing them in their hands and they waved them as a wave offering before the Lord. Then Moses put them on the burnt offering where they were consumed. This most likely represents that the priests are to have clean, consecrated hands, refined by fire (so to speak). Perhaps placing the blood on the ear, thumb, and foot represents that the priests are to hear from God, serve God with their hands, and walk with God in a holy way.

Moses took the breast of the ram and waved it before the Lord.

To go back to prior to the sacrifices, Moses dressed Aaron in the high priest garments and his sons in priestly garments. Moses took the anointing oil and anointed the tabernacle and all that was in it, thus consecrating them to YHWH. He sprinkled oil on the altar seven times, and anointed all of its utensils, the laver and its base. He then poured anointing oil upon the head of Aaron to consecrate him...

After the offerings/sacrifices, Moses washed Aaron and his sons with water from the laver anointed Aaron and his sons with oil and blood. He anointed the altar and the laver and all of the other furnishings with blood. He

Leviticus Chapter 8

In this chapter God puts into practice all that He had instructed Moses and the people of concerning offerings and sacrifices.

This whole chapter is about consecrating the tabernacle and furnishings, the high priests and his sons, and the animals to be sacrificed.

The tent of meeting was completed and set up. Moses is designated by God to perform the rites of consecration. He is acting in the stead of God in this work. Moses alone had spent time on Mt. Sinai in the Presence of YHWH for 40 days and 40 nights. He alone was equipped to represent God to the Israelites.

There were four offerings/sacrifices given unto God in this chapter: First the sin sacrifice for the sins of Aaron and his sons. Then the burnt offering. Next, the consecration offering. And last, the grain offering.

Aaron and his sons needed to have their sins atoned for before they could be consecrated for the work of priesthood. We, too, need to have our sins atoned for before we can rightly serve God. Jesus is our atoning sacrifice for our sins.

The burnt offering was made. This was the first one of the many to follow that will be offered morning and evening for as long as God determined (these offerings stopped when Jerusalem was sacked and made desolate by the Romans in 70 A.D., with the temple bring destroyed for good). Jesus is our Mediator, like the burnt offering, which opens up the way for anyone to come to the Father. The Israelites and especially the priests, could not just waltz up to YHWH and perform priestly duties without this offering being done after their sin offering was offered. We all need a mediator between us and the Father in order for us to approach Him. This Mediator ever opens the way to the Father.

Next, the consecration offering is made. This offering was only for Aaron and the priests when they are initially consecrated before YHWH to begin to perform their priestly duties. Jesus is our High Priest, consecrated from before the foundations....

In some versions of King James of Leviticus 8:25 the right thigh is referenced and the right shoulder in other translations. These are clearly different parts of the animal. What is the correct translation/inteprtation?
