CONSECRATION OF THE PRIESTS
“This is what you shall do to consecrate Aaron and his sons so that they may serve Me as priests: take one young bull and two rams, without blemish,
and unleavened bread and unleavened cakes mixed with oil, and unleavened wafers spread with oil; you shall make them of fine wheat flour.
You shall put them in one basket, and present them in the basket along with the bull and the two rams.
Then bring Aaron and his sons to the doorway of the Tent of Meeting [out where the basin is] and wash them with water.
Then you shall take the garments, and put on Aaron the tunic and the robe of the ephod and the ephod and the breastpiece, and wrap him with the skillfully woven sash of the ephod;
and you shall put the turban on his head and put the holy crown on the turban.
Then you shall take the anointing oil and pour it on his head and anoint him.
You shall bring his sons and put tunics on them.
And you shall wrap them with sashes, Aaron and his sons, and put the [ornamental] caps on them; and the priest’s office shall be theirs by a perpetual statute. So you shall ordain Aaron and his sons.
“Then you shall bring the bull before the Tent of Meeting, and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on the bull’s head.
Then you shall kill the bull before the LORD by the doorway of the Tent of Meeting.
And you shall take some of the blood of the bull and with your finger put it on the horns of the altar [of burnt offering], and you shall pour out the remainder of the blood at the base of the altar.
You shall take all the fat that covers the intestines and the lobe of the liver, and the two kidneys and the fat that is on them, and offer them up in smoke on the altar.
But the meat of the bull, its hide, and the contents of its intestines you shall burn in the fire outside the camp; it is a sin offering. [Heb_13:11-13]
“And you shall take one of the rams, and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on the head of the ram;
then you shall kill the ram and you shall take its blood and sprinkle it around the altar [of burnt offering].
Then you shall cut the ram into pieces, and wash its intestines and legs, and place them with its pieces and its head,
and you shall burn the whole ram on the altar. It is a burnt offering to the LORD: it is a sweet and soothing aroma, an offering by fire to the LORD.

THE PRIESTS PREPARED FOR CONSECRATION
The consecration of the priests was an elaborate and impressive ceremony. Notice how Aaron and his sons are classed together, as though to remind us that Jesus and we stand together forever-more. He is the faithful High Priest, but we also have been made priests unto God. First came the washing with water, intimating the necessity for personal purity. See Heb_10:22. Then the donning of official robes; for God’s priests must be arrayed in the beauty of holiness. See Psa_110:3.
The anointing oil is the emblem of the Holy Spirit. See Psa_132:1-18 and 1Jn_2:27. It is not enough to have the Holy Spirit in us for character; His anointing must be on us for service. The slain bullock, as sin offering, reminds us of the contrast between our Lord and us. He knew no sin; we require the propitiation for sin. The burned-offering reminds us of Rom_12:1-2.
