Leviticus 8:22 Meaning and Commentary

Ver. 22-25. And he brought the other ram, the ram of consecration,
&c.] Or "filling" F2, or "fulnesses"; because, as Jarchi says, these filled and perfected the priests in their priesthood; this was the finishing and consummation of their consecration: what is said in this and the three following verses ( Leviticus 8:23-25 ) is the same as is ordered, ( Exodus 29:19-22 ) and needs no further explanation; (See Gill on Exodus 29:19) (See Gill on Exodus 29:20) (See Gill on Exodus 29:21) (See Gill on Exodus 29:22).

Leviticus 8:22 In-Context

20 He cut up the ram into pieces, and then completely burned the head, pieces, and fat.
21 After he washed the insides and lower legs with water, Moses completely burned the whole ram on the altar. It was an entirely burned offering for a soothing smell; it was a food gift for the LORD, as the LORD had commanded Moses.
22 Moses then presented the second ram, the ram for ordination, and Aaron and his sons pressed their hands on its head.
23 Moses slaughtered it, then took some of its blood and put it on Aaron's right earlobe, on his right thumb, and on his right big toe.
24 Then Moses brought forward Aaron's sons and put some of the blood on their right earlobes, their right thumbs, and their right big toes. Moses tossed the rest of the blood against all of the altar's sides.
