Context — The Ram of Ordination
22After that, Moses presented the other ram, the ram of ordination, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on its head.
23Moses slaughtered the ram and took some of its blood and put it on Aaron’s right earlobe, on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot.
24Moses also presented Aaron’s sons and put some of the blood on their right earlobes, on the thumbs of their right hands, and on the big toes of their right feet. Then he splattered the blood on all sides of the altar.
25And Moses took the fat—the fat tail, all the fat that was on the entrails, the lobe of the liver, and both kidneys with their fat—as well as the right thigh. 26And from the basket of unleavened bread that was before the LORD, he took one cake of unleavened bread, one cake of bread made with oil, and one wafer, and he placed them on the fat portions and on the right thigh.Cross References

| 1 | Hebrews 9:18–22 | That is why even the first covenant was not put into effect without blood. For when Moses had proclaimed every commandment of the law to all the people, he took the blood of calves and goats, along with water, scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled the scroll and all the people, saying, “This is the blood of the covenant, which God has commanded you to keep.” In the same way, he sprinkled with blood the tabernacle and all the vessels used in worship. According to the law, in fact, nearly everything must be purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness. |
Leviticus 8:24 Summary
In Leviticus 8:24, Moses is consecrating Aaron's sons as priests, setting them apart for God's service. He puts blood on their earlobes, thumbs, and big toes, which symbolizes their cleansing and dedication to God, similar to the cleansing of Aaron in Leviticus 8:23. This act reminds us that, as believers, we are also set apart for God's service, and we can apply this concept to our own lives by seeking to obey and serve God in all we do (Romans 12:1-2, 1 Peter 2:9-10). By looking to Christ as our ultimate High Priest, we can find the strength and guidance to live a life of worship and service to God.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why did Moses put blood on the earlobes, thumbs, and big toes of Aaron's sons?
This act symbolized their cleansing and dedication to God, as seen in Leviticus 8:24, and was a physical representation of their newfound role as priests, much like the cleansing of Aaron in Leviticus 8:23.
What is the significance of the altar in this context?
The altar represented the meeting place between God and humanity, and the sprinkling of blood on it signified the sons' consecration to God's service, as well as the atonement for their sins, as described in Leviticus 1:4 and Exodus 29:10-11.
How does this verse relate to the concept of priesthood in the New Testament?
In the New Testament, all believers are considered priests, with Jesus Christ as the ultimate High Priest, as seen in Hebrews 4:14-16 and 1 Peter 2:9-10, and this verse in Leviticus 8:24 foreshadows that reality.
What can we learn from the detailed instructions in this verse?
The attention to detail in Leviticus 8:24 highlights the importance of obedience and precision in our worship and service to God, as emphasized in Deuteronomy 12:32 and Matthew 5:18-19.
Reflection Questions
- How can I apply the concept of consecration to my own life, dedicating myself to God's service?
- In what ways can I, like Aaron's sons, symbolically 'put on' the blood of Christ, representing my cleansing and commitment to God?
- What are some areas in my life where I need to 'sprinkle the blood' of Christ, seeking atonement and forgiveness?
- How can I, as a 'priest' in the New Testament sense, serve and worship God in my daily life, and what does that look like in practical terms?

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Leviticus 8:24
And he brought the other ram, the ram of consecration: and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the ram.
Ellicott's Commentary on Leviticus 8:24
(24) And he brought Aaron’s sons.—Having performed these symbolical acts upon the high priest, Moses now repeats the same in the case of the four ordinary priests. The right members were chosen for these symbolical acts because they are represented as the strongest, and are therefore most able to execute the will of God (see also Exodus 29:20). The cured leper had the same parts of the body touched with the blood of the trespass offering. (See Leviticus 14:14-17.)
Cambridge Bible on Leviticus 8:24
(iii) The ram of consecration (22–36), cp. Exodus 29:19-26 The last sacrifice is that of the ram of consecration. As some portions are consumed by the offerers (Leviticus 8:31) it resembles the Peace-Offerings, but special rites are added, indicating the character and duties of the priestly office. The blood of the ram is applied to the ear, hand, and foot of Aaron and his sons. The ear attentive to the commands of God, the hand ready to do His will, the foot prepared to walk in His ways are thus signified. The blood is also thrown (as enjoined in Leviticus 3:2) against the altar round about. In Leviticus 8:23-24 the blood is put first on Aaron and afterwards on his sons; cp. Exodus 29:20, where a separate bringing near of the sons is not enjoined.
