Passage

Leviticus 7:37-38

How does this closing summary prepare for the priests’ ordination?

Berean Standard Bible

37 This is the law of the burnt offering, the grain offering, the sin offering, the guilt offering, the ordination offering, and the peace offering, 38 which the LORD gave Moses on Mount Sinai on the day He commanded the Israelites to present their offerings to the LORD in the Wilderness of Sinai.

What is the context?

The summary lists the offerings whose laws have been given, including the ordination offering. It identifies their source as the Lord’s instruction to Moses at Sinai and Israel’s commanded worship in the wilderness.

This closes the opening body of sacrificial instruction. Chapter 8 will turn to the public consecration of Aaron and his sons, whose responsibilities these chapters have described. Law and enacted service belong to the same unfolding account.

How is this passage commonly understood?

Wesley understands the ordination offering as the sacrifice associated with consecrating priests. The summary presents a connected set of instructions rather than inviting the reader to merge every offering into one undifferentiated rite. Each has its own setting, portions, and handling.
