Commentary
3 notes on this verseThis site's exposition
Then Moses presented Aaron and his sons and washed them with water
on Leviticus 8:6-7
Water comes before the garments, and the washing here is of the whole body. It differs from the daily washing of hands and feet at the laver that Exodus 30:19-21 requires of a priest.
This site's exposition
He put the tunic on Aaron
Each garment is named in the order it goes on, from the tunic next to the body out to the ephod. The woven band of the ephod, described at Exodus 28:6-8, is tied last to hold it in place.
