This site's exposition
This is the portion of the anointing of Aaron
on Leviticus 7:35-38
Verse 37 names all five offerings in one line and adds the consecrations, closing the run that began at chapter 1. The order ends on the peace offerings, where the worshipper's list in chapters 1 to 5 put them third and ended on the trespass offering. Verse 38 places the giving of these laws in mount Sinai and in the wilderness of Sinai, while Leviticus 1:1 has the LORD calling to Moses out of the tabernacle of the congregation. Commentators account for the two settings in different ways and the text itself settles nothing.
The record, by era
The Puritans and the Awakening1 voice
This is the law of the burnt offering,.... As delivered, Lev 6:9, of the meat offering; as in Lev 6:14, and of the sin offering; as in Lev 6:25, and of the trespass offering; as in Lev 7:1, and of the consecrations; of Aaron and his sons to the priest's office, as in Lev 6:20, and of the sacrifice of the peace offerings; as in this chapter, Lev 7:11 for this is only a recapitulation of the several laws respecting these things before observed.
