It is a step-by-step process that must be followed down to the very last detail. We see in Leviticus 8 that the implementation of these commands did indeed take place, and the account of that event repeats almost word for word what is found in Exodus 29." (EPSC-Ex) Now this is what you shall do to them to consecrate them to minister as priests to Me - Consecration called for blood sacrifice. The writer of Hebrews says "without shedding of blood there is no forgiveness. Therefore it was necessary for the copies of the things in the heavens to be cleansed with these, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these." (Hebrews 9:22-23) The priest were in a sense "copies" of the heavenly Great High Priest. Consecrate is qadash meaning to set apart and rendered in Lxx with hagiazo with same meaning - set apart from profane to God. Minister as priest is the verb kahan (see note in previous chapter). George Bush - to consecrate them. Heb. לקדש אתם lekaddësh otham, to sanctify them, to set them apart. This is here a term denoting that general consecration to the priestly office which is expanded in fuller detail in the sequel of the chapter. The subsequent expression ‘consecrate,’ v. 9, 29, has respect rather to one particular part of the ceremonies enjoined on the occasion. George Bush - To minister in the priest’s office. This is expressed in Hebrew by the single term לכהן lekahën, from כהן kohën, a priest, and signifying literally to act the priest, to discharge the priestly functions. take one young bull and two rams without blemish - A command to begin the ceremony with animals suitable for sacrifice. In the parallel description the three animals are called ‘the bull of the sin offering’ (Lev 8:2), ‘the ram of the burnt offering’ (Lev 8:18) and ‘the ram of ordination’ (Lev 8:22) Without blemish means no obvious external defects for only such animals are worthy of sacrifice to Yahweh. Bush - Without blemish. Heb. תמימם temimim, perfect; i. e. without defect, superfluity, or deformity. The animal and the other articles mentioned in this connexion were to be the first which were to be provided, but they were not to be used till various other preliminary ceremonies, such as washing, robing, &c., had been performed. In fact the consecration itself here ordered did not take place till after the tabernacle was erected. See Lev. 8:9, 10. NET Note on without blemish - The word תָּמִים (tamim) means “perfect.” The animals could not have diseases or be crippled or blind (see Mal 1). The requirement was designed to ensure that the people would give the best they had to Yahweh. The typology pointed to the sinless Messiah who would fulfill all these sacrifices in his one sacrifice on the cross. Without defect or blemish (perfect, integrity) (08549)(tamim from the verb tamam = to be complete, entire or whole) conveys the fundamental idea of completeness or wholeness. The animas are to be ‘complete / sound / unimpaired / healthful. Tamim deals primarily with a state of moral or ceremonial purity (e.g., animal sacrifices - 51x tamim refers to unblemished animals - Passover lamb in Ex 12:5 picturing of course Christ sinless perfection - 1 Cor 5:7, 2 Cor 5:21). In Leviticus tamim speaks of animals that are "without defect" (Lev 1:3, 1:10, 3:1, 6, 4:3, 23, 28, 32, 5:15, 18, etc) and in all of these the Lxx translates tamim with amomos which is fascinating for it is the same adjective used to describe the Lamb of God, Peter writing that we were redeemed "but with precious blood, as of a lamb unblemished (amomos) and spotless (aspilos), the blood of Christ." (1 Peter 1:19+). The writer of Hebrews describes Jesus the same way asking "how much more will the blood of Christ, Who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish (amomos) to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?" (Heb 9:14+). THOUGHT - We are His priests today and are commanded to live BLAMELESS lives w/o blemishes (Php 2:15; 2Pe 3:14, Ja 1:27 "to keep (tereo= guard= present tense) oneself unstained by the world." How are you doing dear fellow priest of God? How grateful we are that we have power to live blamelessly (Romans 8:13) and forgiveness when we fail (1 John 1:9, 1 John 1:7).

Compare “And the LORD called/spoke to Moses” (Lev 1:1; 4:1; 6:1; 8:1) with “And the LORD spoke to Aaron/to Moses and Aaron” (Lev 10:8; 11:1; 13:1; 14:33; 15:1). However, note that “after the death of the two sons of Aaron” (16:1) the remainder of Leviticus employs the formula, “And the LORD spoke to Moses” (Lev 16:2; 17:1; 18:1; 19:1; 20:1; etc.) ** Israel’s high priest bore the names of the tribes of Israel on his garments as a “memorial.” In other words, he represented the people. Such representation was part of his intercessory ministry.

Unleavened is massa/matsah of bread (lechem), cakes (challah - pierced cakes - cf root word in Isa 53:5 = pierced through") and bread anointed (mashach the same verb used of anointing Messiah in Isa 61:1+)
