Leviticus 8: Consecrations

This word refers to something that is set (as gems in a piece of jewelry). Aaron and his sons were consecrated (set) by the processes given in this chapter. That “setting” was so that these men (and the rest of the Levites) could be seen as set apart people in Israel for these special services. It was an incredible occasion, and those who were involved in it did all of the commands that Moses gave them (v. 36).
