“And ye shall not go out of the door of the tabernacle of the congregation in seven days, until the days of your consecration be at an end: for seven days shall he consecrate you.”
Do not leave the entrance to the tent of meeting for seven days, until the days of your ordination are completed, for your ordination will last seven days. The seven-day ordination period: Aaron and his sons remain at the tent of meeting's entrance for the full seven days of the ordination ceremony. The seven-day duration communicates the completeness of the consecration: seven is the covenant's number of completeness, and the seven days of ordination mirror the seven days of creation and the seven days of the covenant feast calendar. The priests who will administer the seven-day festivals are installed through a seven-day ceremony.
