Leviticus 8:30

Anointing the Priests and Their Garments

30 Then Moses took {some of} the anointing oil and {some of} the blood that [was] on the altar, and he spattered [them] on Aaron, on his garments, and on Aaron's sons and on his sons' garments with him--thus he consecrated Aaron, his garments, and his sons and his sons' garments with him.

Leviticus 8:30 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 8:30

And Moses took of the anointing oil, and of the blood
which was upon the altar
Which was sprinkled upon the altar round about, ( Leviticus 8:24 ) and these two seem to be mixed together, since it follows:

and sprinkled [it] upon Aaron (See Gill on Exodus 29:21).

Leviticus 8:30 In-Context

28 Then Moses took them from upon their palms, and he turned [them] into smoke upon the burnt offering on the altar; they [were] a consecration offering as an appeasing fragrance--it [was] an offering made by fire for Yahweh.

29 Then Moses took the breast section, and he waved it [as] a wave offering {before} Yahweh from the ram of the consecration offering; it [was] Moses' share, [just] as Yahweh had commanded Moses.

30 Then Moses took {some of} the anointing oil and {some of} the blood that [was] on the altar, and he spattered [them] on Aaron, on his garments, and on Aaron's sons and on his sons' garments with him--thus he consecrated Aaron, his garments, and his sons and his sons' garments with him.

31 Then Moses said to Aaron and to his sons, "Boil the meat in [the] entrance to [the] tent of assembly, and there you must eat it and the bread that [is] in the basket of the consecration offering, [just] as I have commanded, saying, 'Aaron and his sons must eat it,'

32 but the remainder of the meat and the bread you must burn in the fire.
