Leviticus 8

Today's reading covers the ordination of Aaron and his sons as priests, and the anointing both of them and the various instruments to be used in the Lord's service. Pretty straightforward, though the reference to the "Urim and Thummim" is interesting. I've heard those names before, and when they are mentioned later in the Bible I may do some more research into what they were. The part about putting blood on the priests' ears, fingers and toes was also a bit odd - but I'm sure it signified something at the time.
