This passage appears to be more instruction given in regards to the priesthood and Aaron and his sons becoming the line of priest for God. They are very detailed in how the robes are to be made and how they are to consecrate them. I have been confused this whole time about the offerings. They speak of burnt offerings and now wave offerings and I can't seem to understand these. There have been times when they speak of atonement and that it's one of the reasons for offerings and are very specific on what to use for each and when to make these offerings. But I am still perplexed by it. Again maybe it's just a test to see if they will follow God's instruction. Not sure. I was also interested in where it says that the son's of Aaron will be the continued priesthood. I wonder if there are priest's in current time that come from the line of Aaron.
The psalm appears to be a song of praise to God. I am still curious who is speaking in this psalm as it again says Sons of Korah.

I am with you on this one, the confusion about the sacrifices and all of the instructions. However, looking forward, it is said that "the lamb of God, " Jesus, was the ultimate sacrifice and is what moved us from animal sacrifices in the OT. Maybe there will be some clarification as move to the end of the OT and into the NT. I am also perplexed by the limited discussion of the commandments. I know they were explained, but not much was said about the Moses receiving the tablets. More to come?
