Leviticus 8:33 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

And ye shall not go out of the door of the tabernacle. — Better, and ye shall not go from the enclosure of the tent of meeting, that is, Aaron and his sons are not to go out of the court, as the consecration was not performed within but at the entrance of the tent of meeting. This is most distinctly stated in Leviticus 8:35.

In seven days. — Better, for seven days. As the ceremony of consecration lasted seven days, it was but natural that Aaron and his sons were enjoined not to quit the sacred enclosure for any secular transactions during the whole of this period.

For seven days shall he consecrate you. — That is, on each of these seven days the same sacrifices are to be repeated, the sin offering, the burnt offering, and the consecration offering are to be offered up, and Aaron and his sons, as well as their garments, are to be sprinkled with the sacrificial blood and the anointing oil. (See Exodus 29:36.)

Leviticus 8:33

33 And ye shall not go out of the door of the tabernacle of the congregation in seven days, until the days of your consecration be at an end: for seven days shall he consecrate you.
