EXODUS 29:35 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And thus shalt thou do unto Aaron, and to his sons, according to all things which I have commanded thee: seven days shalt thou consecrate them.”
Do for Aaron and his sons everything I have commanded you, taking seven days to ordain them. The seven-day ordination is the comprehensive instruction: everything I have commanded, seven days. The completeness of the ordination — every element of the ceremony repeated for seven days — creates the most thoroughly consecrated priests in Israel's history. The seven days of ordination mirror the seven days of creation and the seven-day feast calendar: every covenant institution takes seven days to establish. Hebrews 10:14 says by one sacrifice Jesus has made perfect forever those who are being made holy — the seven days that make the Aaronic priests holy are the type of the one sacrifice that makes permanent perfection available.
