Ver. 22-25. And he brought the other ram, the ram of consecration,.... Or "filling" (b), 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 is the same as is ordered,...

And out of the basket of unleavened bread,.... Moses was ordered to take, Leviticus 8:2, that [was] before the Lord; being brought to the tabernacle, where now the Lord had taken up his residence: he took one unleavened cake; which had no oil in it or upon it: and a cake of oiled bread; which was mixed and tempered with oil: and one wafer; which...

John Gill - Exposition - John Gill
And Moses took them from off their hands,.... After they had been waved before the Lord: and burnt [them] upon the altar, upon the burnt offering; of the other ram; or after that burnt offering, as Jarchi, who observes, that we do not find that the shoulder of peace offerings was offered in any place but this, it belonged to the priest; but this...

And Moses took the breast,.... Of the ram of consecration: and waved it for a wave offering before the Lord; this Moses seems to have waved with his own hands, and not upon the hands of Aaron and his sons, putting his under them, as in the wave offering of the fat, shoulder, and cakes, and for which the following words seem to give a reason: [for]...

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, &c. [See comments on Exodus 29:21].

And Moses said unto Aaron, and to his sons,.... After he had offered the bullock, the two rams, and cakes of unleavened bread for the consecration of them: boil the flesh at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation; the remainder of the flesh of the ram of consecration, which was all but the fat, the shoulder, and the breast: and there eat...

And that which remaineth of the flesh and of the bread,.... Until the next morning, which could not be eaten by Aaron and his sons: shall ye burn with fire; that it might not be corrupted, nor put to common nor superstitious uses.

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 (c) are puzzled where they should ease nature, since the place...
John Gill - Exposition - John Gill
As he hath done this day, [so] the Lord hath commanded to do,.... The same were to be repeated every day until the seven days were ended; so Jarchi and Aben Ezra; the former of these observes, that their Rabbins explain the phrase "to do", in the preceding clause, of the business of the red heifer, and that which follows, to make an atonement for...
John Gill - Exposition - John Gill
Therefore shall ye abide at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation,.... Or rather "within" it, as Noldius renders it, since they were not to go out of the door of it, Leviticus 8:33 whereas our version seems to leave it undetermined whether they abode without the door or within; where they were to continue, day and night, seven days; even...
John Gill - Exposition - John Gill
So Aaron and his sons did all things which the Lord commanded by the hand of Moses. They submitted to have them done to them, and for them, what was done on the first day of their consecration, all the rest of the days; and they kept within the tabernacle all that time as was enjoined them.
