In the context of Leviticus, the anointing of the priest symbolizes the divine selection and empowerment by God to perform sacred duties. This anointing is not merely a ritual but a profound spiritual act that signifies the priest's role as a mediator between God and the people. The anointing oil, often a blend of myrrh, cinnamon, and other spices, represents the Holy Spirit's presence and blessing upon the priest's ministry.<p><b>and ordained</b><br />The term "ordained" in Hebrew is "male," meaning to fill or fulfill. This implies that the priest is not only chosen but also equipped and fully prepared to carry out his responsibilities. The ordination process involves a series of rituals that include sacrifices and offerings, symbolizing the priest's dedication and readiness to serve God and the community. Historically, this ordination underscores the continuity and stability of the priestly office, ensuring that the spiritual needs of the Israelites are consistently met.<p><b>to succeed his father as high priest</b><br />This phrase highlights the hereditary nature of the high priesthood within the Levitical line, specifically the descendants of Aaron. The succession from father to son ensures the preservation of sacred traditions and the passing down of spiritual wisdom and leadership. This continuity is crucial for maintaining the covenant relationship between God and Israel. The high priest serves as a vital link, representing the people before God and God to the people, emphasizing the importance of faithful and godly leadership.<p><b>is to make atonement</b><br />The Hebrew word for "atonement" is "kaphar," which means to cover or to reconcile. The high priest's role in making atonement is central to the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur) rituals, where he enters the Holy of Holies to offer sacrifices for the sins of the people. This act of atonement is a profound expression of God's mercy and forgiveness, pointing forward to the ultimate atonement made by Jesus Christ on the cross. It underscores the necessity of repentance and the grace available through sacrificial offerings.<p><b>He will put on the sacred linen garments</b><br />The sacred linen garments, described in detail in <a href="/exodus/28.htm">Exodus 28</a>, are symbolic of purity and holiness. The Hebrew word for "sacred" is "qodesh," meaning set apart or holy. These garments distinguish the high priest from the ordinary priests and the people, signifying his unique role in the divine service. The linen material represents purity and simplicity, reflecting the priest's need to approach God with a pure heart and humble spirit. The donning of these garments is a reminder of the sanctity required in the presence of God and the reverence due to His holy name.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/leviticus/16.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(32) <span class= "bld">And the priest, whom he shall anoint.</span>--Better, <span class= "ital">And the priest who shall be anointed. </span>Not only is Aaron to make atonement on this occasion, but, in future, the priest who shall be consecrated by the proper authorities as his successor to the pontificate shall perform this act of expiation on the Day of Atonement.<p><span class= "bld">And whom he shall consecrate.</span>--Better, <span class= "ital">and who shall be consecrated. </span>According to the canonical interpretation which obtained during the second Temple, this clause makes the hereditary right to the high priesthood conditional. Unlike property, which descends to the heirs unconditionally, the son of the high priest can only succeed his father if he is morally and physically blameless. The decision upon these points was vested in the community, represented by their elders--the Sanhedrin--who pronounced whether the heir apparent was qualified or disqualified to step into the office of pontiff, and who appointed the delegates to anoint and invest the new high priest with the insignia of his functions.<p><span class= "bld">And shall put on the linen clothes.</span>--Better, <span class= "ital">and shall put on the linen garments, </span>as it is rendered in the Authorised Version in <a href="/leviticus/16-23.htm" title="And Aaron shall come into the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall put off the linen garments, which he put on when he went into the holy place, and shall leave them there:">Leviticus 16:23</a>. This phrase only occurs twice, and in this very section. To render it by two different expressions within so short a space is almost equivalent to depriving it of its identity. Now the priest who has thus been deemed worthy to succeed to this high office is to put on the holy white garments on the Day of Atonement.<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/leviticus/16.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verses 32, 33.</span> - That there may be no mistake, it is specifically enjoined that not only Aaron, but <span class="cmt_word">the priest, whom he shall anoint, and whom he shall consecrate</span> - meaning, <span class="accented">the high priest that shall be anointed, and shall be consecrated</span> - <span class="cmt_word">to minister in the priest's office in his father's stead</span> - that is, to succeed from time to time to the high priesthood - <span class="cmt_word">shall make the atonement, and shall put on the linen clothes</span>, even <span class="cmt_word">the holy garments</span>.
