Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible (1871)
Take Aaron and his sons--The consecration of Aaron and his sons had been ordered long before (Ex 29:1-46), but it is now described with all the details of the ceremonial, as it was gone through after the tabernacle was completed and the regulations for the various sacrifices enacted.
This site's exposition
And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying
on Leviticus 8:1-3
Everything done in this chapter was commanded in Exodus 29, before the tabernacle stood. Leviticus 8 is that order carried out, and the narrator marks it by saying as the LORD commanded Moses five times over. The first instruction is to gather the whole congregation to the door, so no part of the making of a priest happens where Israel cannot watch it.
The record, by era
The Puritans and the Awakening2 voices
Take Aaron, and his sons with him,....
Aaron and his sons were near relations to Moses, and therefore he would not consecrate them till he had further orders, lest he should seem too forward to bring honour into his family. The congregation called together, at the door, that is, in the court of the tabernacle,
The Nineteenth Century2 voices
Take Aaron and his sons - The whole subject of this chapter has been anticipated in the notes, Exo 28:1 (note), etc., and Exo 29:1 (note), etc., in which all the sacrifices, rites, and ceremonies have been explained in considerable detail; and to those notes the reader is referred. It is only necessary to observe that Aaron and his sons were not anointed until now. Before, the thing was commanded; now, first performed.

proposed
A bullock ... two rams ... a basket - compare Exo 29:1-3. This shows the coherence of this part of Leviticus with the latter part of Exodus. The basket of unleavened bread used on this occasion appears to have contained: (1) cakes or loaves of the ordinary unleavened bread; (2) cakes of oiled bread, rather, oil bread (see Lev 2:1, Lev 2:4); and (3) oiled wafers (see Lev 2:4, Lev 2:6). Rabbinical tradition says that there were six cakes of each sort.
