Commentary
4 notes on this verseAnd he brought the other ram, the ram of consecration,.... Or "filling" (b), or "fulnesses"; because, as Jarchi says, these filled and perfected the priests in their priesthood; this was the finishing and consummation of their consecration: what is said in this and the three following verses Lev 8:23 is the same as is ordered, Exo 29:19 and needs no further explanation; See Gill on Exo 29:19, Exo 29:20, Exo 29:21, Exo 29:22. (b) המלאים "plenitudinum", Montanus; "impletionum, vel potius completionum", Drusius; Heb. "impletionum", Piscator.
This site's exposition
he brought the other ram, the ram of consecration
on Leviticus 8:22-24
The Hebrew behind consecration here means a filling of the hands, and the ceremony about to follow fills them. Blood is put on the tip of the right ear, the thumb of the right hand and the great toe of the right foot, on Aaron first and then on his sons. Leviticus 14:14 marks a cleansed leper at those same three places with blood, and 14:17 marks them again with oil, so the man restored from exclusion and the man raised to the priesthood are touched at identical points. Matthew Henry and Adam Clarke both read the three as what a priest hears, what he does and where he walks, and the text names the places without giving a reason.
The record, by era
The Puritans and the Awakening1 voice
Here, therefore, as in the account we had of the tabernacle and its vessels, it is again and again repeated, As the Lord commanded Moses. And thus Christ, when he sanctified himself with his own blood, had an eye to his Father's will in it.

proposed
After the sin offering and burnt offering had been presented on their behalf, this was their peace offering, by which they declared the pleasure which they felt in entering upon the service of God and being brought into close communion with Him as the ministers of His sanctuary, together with their confident reliance on His grace to help them in all their sacred duties.
