Leviticus 8:3

"“Take Aaron and his sons with him, and the garments, and the anointing oil, and the bull of the sin offering, and the two rams, and the basket of unleavened bread;"

Key Reflection

This verse instructs Moses to gather Aaron and his sons for a sacred ceremony, preparing them with the necessary garments, anointing oil, sacrificial animals, and bread—signifying the initiation of the priesthood and the cleansing and consecration of Aaron and his descendants as divine representatives.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Gather ... -Rather, gather all the assembly together toward the entrance of the tent of meeting. SeeLeviticus 4:13. The whole body of the people were summoned on this occasion, and the elders probably occupied the first places. The elders are especially called together in an unequivocal manner to receive directions to provide the first sacrifices for the nation to be offered by the newly consecrated priestsLeviticus 9:1, and the body of the people afterward assemble as they do hereLeviticus 9:5. The spot designated was the portion of the court in front of the tabernacle (seeLeviticus 1:3note).
