The Lord also said to Moses. A new divine speech introduces the special grain offering for Aaron and his sons on the day of their ordination and thereafter. The ordination offering — first introduced in Leviticus 8 — is anticipated here in the regulations for how it is to be handled. The grain offering associated with the priestly ordination carries forward the principle established in the tabernacle construction: the installation of the priests into their office is accompanied by the full range of offerings that they will subsequently administer.
