Leviticus 8:2

1819–1905
Anglican
SCRIPTURE

"Take Aaron and his sons with him, and the garments, and the anointing oil, and the bullock of the sin-offering, and the two rams, and the basket of unleavened bread;" — Leviticus 8:2 (ASV)

Take Aaron and his sons.: That is, order them to come and to bring with them the sacred vestments and the sacrifices to the entrance of the tent of meeting. .

The garments.: Those which God had before commanded to be made. (See Exodus 28:2 and following, Exodus 29:1 and following). For the anointing oil, see Exodus 30:23 and following, and Exodus 29:7.

And a bullock for the sin offering, and two rams, and a basket.: Better, and the bullock, the two rams, and the basket. That is the offering about which directions are given in Exodus 29:1-3, thus showing the intimate connection between this part of Leviticus and the latter part of Exodus.
