Title: Hashem Commanded by the Hand of Moshe
Scripture Focus: Leviticus 8:1–36
Teacher: JK Woodall
Bible Version: New King James Version (NKJV)
Part I: Introduction (Previously Covered)
Summary of ordination rituals: divine calling, cleansing 🧼, clothing 👕, and anointing 🕊️ of Aaron and his sons.
Part II: The Sacrifices of Ordination (Leviticus 8:14–30)
Leviticus 8:14–17 – The Sin Offering 😔🩸🔥
Teaching Note:
👐 The laying on of hands symbolized identification with the sacrifice — Aaron and his sons admitted their own need for cleansing.
🩸 Blood on the horns and altar base teaches that the foundation of ministry is atonement (Hebrews 9:22).
🔥 Burning the remains outside the camp points prophetically to Jesus' suffering outside the gate (Hebrews 13:12–13).
Reflection:
🙏 Have you acknowledged your personal need for atonement before stepping into service?
Leviticus 8:18–21 – The Burnt Offering 🔥👃🛐
Teaching Note:
🔥 This offering was completely consumed, representing full surrender and dedication to God.
💦 The washing of the entrails and legs reminds us that inner purity matters before we offer ourselves.
👃 The aroma pleased the Lord — God delights in whole-hearted service.
Insight:
💭 Are you offering your whole self to God, or are you holding back?
Leviticus 8:22–30 – The Ram of Consecration 🩸👂✋🦶
Teaching Note:
🩸 Blood on the ear, thumb, and big toe = total consecration: what we hear, what we do, and where we go must be sanctified.
🙌 The wave offering was a public act of devotion and thanksgiving.
👀 Ministry is not just about private holiness — it’s also about public surrender.
Spiritual Challenge:
👂✋🦶 Does your hearing, doing, and walking reflect your consecration to God?
Leviticus 8:31–36 – Completion of the Ordination 📜🔥🕊️
And Moses said to Aaron and his sons, "Boil the flesh at the door of the tabernacle of meeting, and eat it there with the bread that is in the basket of consecration offerings, as I commanded, saying, 'Aaron and his sons shall eat it.' What remains of the flesh and of the bread you shall burn with fire. And you shall not go outside the door of the tabernacle of meeting for seven days, until the days of your consecration are ended. For seven days he shall consecrate you. As he has done this day, so the Lord has commanded to do, to make atonement for you. Therefore you shall stay at the door of the tabernacle of meeting day and night for seven days, and keep the charge of the Lord, so that you may not die; for so I have been commanded." So Aaron and his sons did all the things that the Lord had commanded by the hand of Moses.
Teaching Note:
🍽️ Eating the offering inside the sanctuary represents intimacy and communion with God.
🔥 Anything left over was burned — nothing in God's presence is wasted.
⏳ The seven-day waiting period symbolizes completion, discipline, and dedication.
🧎 Obedience was key — Aaron and his sons followed everything the Lord commanded by the hand of Moses.
Challenge: Are you willing to wait, obey, and stay in His presence as part of your consecration?
🔑 Summary Points:
✝️ Atonement must come before authority.
💯 Total surrender is a sweet aroma to the Lord.
👂✋🦶 Consecration touches our senses, actions, and lifestyle.
🙏 Ordination involves sacrifice — ministry will cost you something.
⏱️ Completion takes time — patience and presence matter.
📝 Application Questions:
How are you practicing consecration in your daily life?
Is your service to God partial, or fully consumed like the burnt offering?
Does your public walk reflect your private calling?
Are you obeying God's instructions fully — or only partially?
🕊️ Closing Thought:
God doesn’t call us without cleansing us, nor send us without sanctifying us. The process of ordination reminds us that ministry is holy, visible, and costly — but also a beautiful aroma when fully surrendered to the Lord. 🙌🔥👑
