Moses did as the Lord commanded him, and the assembly gathered at the entrance to the tent of meeting. The execution phrase — Moses did as the Lord commanded him — is the narrator's consistent confirmation of faithful obedience. Moses does not modify the prescribed ceremony, abbreviate it, or supplement it with his own additions. The assembly that gathers at the tent's entrance is the community assembled to witness what God has commanded. The whole community present at the ordination is the whole community that will benefit from the priesthood being installed.
