8:10-11 By the laying on of hands, Israel recognized the Levites’ special status and offered them as their representatives before the Lord (8:16).
8:11 The reference to Aaron’s raised hands suggests that Israel offered the Levites to the Lord as a “wave offering”—the type of offering lifted up to the Lord (cp. Lev 7:30). The Levites were dedicated to duties that made them “living and holy sacrifices” (cp. Rom 12:1).
8:12-22 The Levites had to offer appropriate sacrifices before they performed their duties in the Tabernacle (8:15).
8:1-4 Here are specific guidelines for the placement of the elaborate lampstand (Hebrew menorah; see Exod 25:31-40) in the Tabernacle. Since the inside of the Tabernacle was dark, the illumination provided by this stylized tree of lamps aided Israel’s worship.
