God lays out the procedure for the ordination of Aaron and his sons as priests. The garments they will wear, the ordination ceremony and offerings are all specifically given. The altar, laver and other accoutrement are prescribed in great detail. The over-arching principle is this: God desires worship to be conducted in a specific manner - one that glorifies and brings honor and attention to Himself. These rituals and ceremonies all point ahead to the One great Sacrifice that would be offered by the promised Messiah.
