The presentation signifies their consecration and readiness to serve in the tabernacle. This act is a fulfillment of God's instructions given earlier in <a href="/exodus/28.htm">Exodus 28:1</a>, where Aaron and his sons were chosen to serve as priests. The presentation also underscores the importance of lineage and the hereditary nature of the priesthood in Israel.<p><b>put tunics on them</b><br>The tunics were simple garments that symbolized purity and righteousness. In the context of the priesthood, these garments set Aaron's sons apart for holy service. The tunics are part of the prescribed priestly attire detailed in <a href="/exodus/28-40.htm">Exodus 28:40</a>, emphasizing the need for the priests to be clothed in a manner befitting their sacred duties. This act of clothing also prefigures the righteousness of Christ, who clothes believers in His righteousness (<a href="/isaiah/61-10.htm">Isaiah 61:10</a>).<p><b>wrapped sashes around them</b><br>The sashes, or girdles, were functional and symbolic, representing readiness for service and the binding of the priestly garments. The act of wrapping sashes around the priests signifies their commitment and dedication to their roles. This imagery is echoed in the New Testament, where believers are encouraged to gird themselves with truth and readiness (<a href="/ephesians/6-14.htm">Ephesians 6:14</a>).<p><b>and tied headbands on them</b><br>The headbands, or turbans, were part of the priestly attire that signified authority and consecration. The headband was a mark of their office and a reminder of their role as mediators between God and the people. This element of the priestly garments is reminiscent of the crown of righteousness that believers will receive (<a href="/2_timothy/4-8.htm">2 Timothy 4:8</a>).<p><b>just as the LORD had commanded him</b><br>This phrase highlights the obedience of Moses to God's specific instructions. It underscores the importance of following divine commands precisely, as seen throughout the Pentateuch. The adherence to God's commands in the consecration of the priests reflects the broader biblical theme of obedience leading to blessing. This obedience is a type of Christ, who perfectly fulfilled the will of the Father (<a href="/john/6-38.htm">John 6:38</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/m/moses.htm">Moses</a></b><br>The leader of the Israelites, chosen by God to deliver His people from Egypt and to give them His laws.

On the other hand, the high priest is specially designated as "the priest that is anointed" (<a href="/leviticus/4-3.htm">Leviticus 4:3</a>). It is probable that the personal anointing of the ordinary priests was confined to their being sprinkled with oil, as described below in verse 30; but that they were regarded as virtually anointed in Aaron's anointing. The Levites had no special dress until they obtained permission from Herod Agrippa I[. to wear the priestly robes (Joseph., 'Ant.,' 20:09, 6). <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/leviticus/8-13.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">Then Moses</span><br /><span class="heb">מֹשֶׁ֜ה</span> <span class="translit">(mō·šeh)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun -
