8–9. The investiture of the ordinary priests (Lev_8:13). These are to be dressed in their tunics, sashes, and caps (Exo_28:40). The words Aaron and his sons (which are inexact, for ‘Aaron’ had no ‘cap,’ Exo_28:40) are not in LXX., or in the corresponding passage, Lev_8:13; they are doubtless a gloss, due to the fact that the ‘girdle’ (sash) for Aaron was not mentioned in v. 5 (so Di.). The linen drawers (Exo_28:42 f.) are not noticed either here or in Lev_8:7; Lev_8:13.
