text: This eighth day is the one after the seven days of ordination referred to in Lev 8:33-35 .


text: See Lev 4:5-12 and the notes there regarding the sin offering for priest(s). The distinction here is that the blood of the sin offering for the priests was applied to the horns of the burnt offering altar in the court of the tabernacle, not the incense altar inside the tabernacle tent itself. See the notes on Lev 8:14-15 .


text: The phrase “like the first one” at the end of the verse refers back to the sin offering for the priests described in vv. 8-11 above. The blood of the sin offering of the common people was applied to the burnt offering altar just like that of the priests.


text: The latter part of the verse (“in addition to the morning burnt offering”) refers to the complex of morning (and evening) burnt and grain offerings that was the daily regulation for the tabernacle from the time of its erection ( Exod 40:29 ). The regulations for it were appended to the end of the section of priestly consecration regulations in (see Exod 29:38-40 ) precisely because they were to be maintained throughout the priestly consecration period and beyond ( Lev 8:33-36 ). Thus, the morning burnt and grain offerings would already have been placed on the altar before the inaugural burnt and grain offerings referred to here.
