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 the ram into pieces. He burned the head, the other pieces and the fat.
21 He washed the inside parts and the legs with water. He burned the whole ram on the altar as a burnt offering. It had a pleasant smell. It was an offering that was made to the LORD with fire. Moses did everything just as the LORD had commanded him.
22 Then he brought the other ram. It was sacrificed to prepare the priests for serving the Lord. Aaron and his sons placed their hands on its head.
23 Moses killed the ram. He put some of its blood on Aaron's right ear lobe. He put some on the thumb of Aaron's right hand. He also put some on the big toe of Aaron's right foot.
24 Then Moses brought Aaron's sons to the people. He put some of the blood on their right ear lobes. He put some on the thumbs of their right hands. He also put some on the big toes of their right feet. Then he sprinkled the rest of the blood against every side of the altar.
