As he hath done this day, so the LORD hath commanded to do, to make an atonement for you.
The declaration belongs to the seven-day period set apart for consecrating the priests for their holy office. It affirms that everything done on that day was performed exactly in the way the Lord had directed for making atonement. When those consecration services were finished, Aaron and his sons proceeded to present the sacrifices that were required of them. God signified His acceptance of the offering by manifesting His glory in fire sent down to consume it upon the altar. At the sight of that divine manifestation the assembled people gave voice to praise and bowed in reverent awe.
