as the Lord commanded him

‘o hangē ko e fekau ‘a Sihova kiate ia

Levitiko 8 (Leviticus 8)

(v. 1-4 ) 1 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2 “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. 3 And assemble all the congregation at the entrance of the tent of meeting.” 4 And Moses did as the Lord commanded him, and the congregation was assembled at the entrance of the tent of meeting.

(v. 1-4) 1 PEA folofola ‘a Sihova kia Mōsese, ‘o pehē, 2 Te ke ‘omi ‘a ‘Ēlone fakataha mo hono ngaahi foha, pea mo e ngaahi kofu, mo e lolo pani, pea mo e pulu feilaulau-angahala, mo e ongo sipi tangata, pea mo e kato mā ta‘elēvani; 3 pea te ke fakakātoa mai ‘a e Fakataha ki he mata Tēniti Fe‘iloaki‘anga. 4 Pea fai ‘e Mōsese ‘o hangē ko e fekau ‘a Sihova kiate ia; pea na‘e fakakātoa mai ‘a e Fakataha ki he mata Tēniti Fe‘iloaki‘anga. 5Pea lea ‘a Mōsese ki he Fakataha, ‘o pehē, ko eni ‘a e ngāue na‘e fekau ‘e Sihova ke fai.

 

*Commentary: The NIV Study Bible*

8:1-10:20 The Establishment of the Priesthood. The book of Exodus ends with the construction of the tabernacle (Exodus 35-40), and Leviticus 1-7 provides a manual for sacrifice in the tabernacle. Now ch. 8 records the installation of the priesthood, and ch. 9 describes the first services in the tabernacle.

8:1-36 The Ordination of Aaron and His Sons. This chapter describes the rite of priestly ordination as a fulfillment of the commands given in Exodus 28-29. It is a highly structured narrative divided into seven parts by the phrase "as the LORD commanded" (Lev. 8:4, 9, 13, 17, 21, 29, 36). The number seven often symbolizes completion in the OT, and in this chapter the sevenfold layout signifies that, by the end, the installation of the priests is fully done.
