Aaron therefore went unto the altar, and slew the calf of the sin offering, which was for himself.
On the eighth day Aaron entered upon his priestly service, with his sons standing by to assist him. He presented the sacrifices that God had required of him, beginning with the offering for himself. The people joined in obedience to the divine direction for that solemn inauguration. That obedience was met by God's acceptance of the sacrifice, made visible when fire from the Lord fell and consumed the offering upon the altar.
