Context of Leviticus 8:17

15When it was slaughtered, Moses took the blood and put it on the horns of the altar all around with his finger and cleansed the altar from sins. He poured the rest of the blood at the bottom of the altar and declared it holy so that priests could use it to make peace with the Lord. 16Moses took all the fat that was on the internal organs, the lobe of the liver, and the two kidneys with their fat, and he burned them on the altar. He burned the rest of the bull, its skin, meat, and excrement outside the camp, as the Lord commanded him. 18He brought forward the ram for the burnt offering. Aaron and his sons placed their hands on the ram’s head. 19Moses slaughtered it and threw the blood against the altar on all sides.

• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 1-36In Exodus 28–29, the Lord gave Moses detailed instructions for clothing and ordaining Aaron and his sons as priests. In Exodus 39:1–31; 40:12–16; and Leviticus 8, they followed these commands. Moses did not only tell them the instructions.
