Levítico 8:33 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 8:33

And ye shall not go out of the door of the tabernacle of
the congregation [in] seven days
Which was the time of their consecration, so long it lasted; and they had provision enough every day from the ram of consecration, whose flesh they were to boil and eat. The Jewish writers ^F3 are puzzled where they should ease nature, since the place was holy; but the orders are not to be considered as so strict but that they might go in and out, though they were not to stay long, or to attend to any other business; and it was always necessary there should be some upon the spot, keeping the Lord's charge in their turns; and it was always requisite that they should also sleep alternately; for it cannot be thought that they should be all this time without rest, any more than without food:

until the days of your consecration be at an end;
which were to continue so long:

for seven days shall he consecrate you;
that is, Moses, who here speaks of himself in the third person, as appears from ( Exodus 29:35 ) . Aben Ezra observes, that the word "end" is wanting, and that the sense is, at the end of seven days he shall consecrate you, finish their consecration; all the seven days he was doing it, and at the end of the seventh concluded it.

Levítico 8:33 In-Context

31 Luego les dijo Moisés a Aarón y a sus hijos: «Cuezan la carne a la entrada de la Tienda de reunión, y cómanla allí junto con el pan del sacrificio de ordenación, tal como lo ordené cuando dije: “Aarón y sus hijos se lo comerán”.

32 Quemen después en el fuego el resto de la carne y del pan.

33 Quédense siete días a la entrada de la Tienda de reunión, hasta que se complete el rito de su ordenación, que dura siete días.

34 El SEÑOR mandó que se hiciera propiciación por ustedes, tal como se ha hecho hoy.

35 Así que siete días con sus noches se quedarán a la entrada de la Tienda de reunión, cumpliendo con lo que el SEÑOR ha prescrito, para que no mueran. Así me lo ha mandado el SEÑOR».
