And that which remaineth of the flesh and of the bread shall ye burn with fire.
The verse belongs to the laws concerning the consecration and duties of the priests, forming part of the instructions for consecrating Aaron and his sons. The consecration described in Leviticus 8 lasted seven days, and the verse is part of that account. In that chapter Moses set apart the Levitical priesthood to minister before the ark in the typical sanctuary, and that priestly service continued while that sanctuary remained. That consecration prepared the priests to minister in the sanctuary, after which God publicly accepted them by sending fire to consume Aaron's first offering for the people as high priest.
The details of these laws had meaning, and their fuller meaning is found in Christ's sacrifice, life, and work, though the verse's specific instruction is not explained further. The verse is part of the account of sacrifices, each of which has something in type concerning the work of Jesus Christ. It is included in the account of the Levitical priesthood whose sanctuary service served as an example and shadow of Christ's ministry in the heavenly sanctuary. It is included in the yearly services of the Levitical sanctuary, whose appointments and service typified Christ's priesthood and whose repeated annual round represented Christ's once-for-all service.
