Leviticus 8:13 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 8:13

And Moses brought Aaron's sons
His four sons, Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation; he ordered and directed them to come there, or sent proper persons to fetch them, or from one part of the court, where they were, he might accompany them thither:

and put coats upon them, and girded them with girdles:
which were made of fine linen, ( Exodus 39:27 Exodus 39:28 ) and the coats being made long to reach down to the ankles, needed girdles, especially when in service, that they might perform it more expeditiously:

and put bonnets on them;
which were made of fine linen also, and differed from the mitre of the high priest only in the manner of rolling up the linen:

as the Lord commanded Moses;
as all the above things were made, so they were all put on, according to the directions Moses received of the Lord, who was faithful in his house, with respect to everything he enjoined him, ( Hebrews 3:2 Hebrews 3:5 ) .

Leviticus 8:13 In-Context

11 cumque sanctificans aspersisset altare septem vicibus unxit illud et omnia vasa eius labrumque cum basi sua sanctificavit oleo
12 quod fundens super caput Aaron unxit eum et consecravit
13 filios quoque eius oblatos vestivit tunicis lineis et cinxit balteo inposuitque mitras ut iusserat Dominus
14 obtulit et vitulum pro peccato cumque super caput eius posuissent Aaron et filii eius manus suas
15 immolavit eum hauriens sanguinem et tincto digito tetigit cornua altaris per gyrum quo expiato et sanctificato fudit reliquum sanguinem ad fundamenta eius
