Oil, Blood, Fire, and Ash | Part 1

THE CONSECRATION AND ORDINATION OF PRIESTS IN ISRAEL:

This chapter contains God’s instructions to Moses on how to ordain Aaron and his sons as priests.
Moses was to take a bull, two rams, unleavened bread, unleavened cakes, and unleavened wafers and bring them to the Tabernacle (Tent of Meeting).
Aaron and his sons were to wash themselves with water before dressing in the special priestly clothes described in Exodus 28 (the ephod, breastpiece, etc).
Aaron was to be anointed with oil.
Aaron and his sons were to place their hands on the head of the bull before it was killed, and its blood put on the horns of the bronze altar.
Some of the bull’s fat, the “long lobe of the liver,” and the kidneys were to be sacrificed on the altar. The rest of the bull was to be burned outside the camp because it was a “sin offering.”
