So Aaron and his sons did everything the Lord had commanded through Moses. The compliance formula closes the ordination chapter: Aaron and his sons did everything the Lord had commanded through Moses. The first recorded action of the newly ordained priests is complete obedience. The priesthood that begins in complete obedience to the divine command is the priesthood prepared for the service that complete obedience requires. Hebrews 5:8–9 says Jesus learned obedience from what he suffered and, once made perfect, became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him — the obedient priests of Leviticus 8:36 are the type of the obedient Son who is the eternal high priest.
