Commentary
4 notes on this verseAnd Moses took - the blood - and sprinkled it upon Aaron, etc. - Thus we find that the high priest himself must be sprinkled with the blood of the sacrifice; and our blessed Lord, of whom Aaron was a type, was sprinkled with his own blood. 1. In his agony in the garden. 2. In his being crowned with thorns. 3. In the piercing of his hands and his feet. And, 4. In his side being pierced with the spear. All these were so many acts of atonement performed by the high priest.
This site's exposition
And Moses took the breast, and waved it
on Leviticus 8:29-30
The breast is Moses' part, the only portion of the ram that goes to him, and waving it is the last priestly act he performs before the work belongs to Aaron. Oil and blood are then mixed and sprinkled together on the men and on their clothes. The sons were not anointed by pouring at verse 13, and this is where the oil reaches them, carried with blood taken from the altar.
The record, by era
The Puritans and the Awakening1 voice
And Moses took of the anointing oil, and of the blood which was upon the altar,.... Which was sprinkled upon the altar round about, Lev 8:24 and these two seem to be mixed together, since it follows: and sprinkled it upon Aaron, &c. See Gill on Exo 29:21.

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.
