In this video listen to Leviticus 8 read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer.

In Leviticus 8 we now have a type of repetition of Exodus 28-29 but with differences. There God commanded certain things concerning the High Priest and priests, and now we are seeing what God commanded actually happening.

And it begins with the washing of Aaron, performed by Moses. While the passages says in English “washing”, its a sign of baptism by immersion. Aaron was the to be the high priest and he was baptised by someone before him and greater than him being Moses. In a very similar way Jesus Christ who was to become our High Priest was baptised by someone before him, namely John the Baptist. NEither of these washings was for the forgiveness of sin, but for the setting apart for High Priestly ministry.
