Aliya Summary: We now read about the induction of the priests and the
inauguration of the Tabernacle. In the presence of all the Jews, Moshe
dressed Aaron and his sons in the priestly vestments and anointed them,
along with the Tabernacle and its vessels, with the holy anointing oil.
According
to Rashi, the seven day inauguration period for the Mishkan preceded
its erection. This, says Rashi, is another example of the Torah not
always presenting the story in chronological order. Could the reason for
the reversed order be to demonstrate that the product is more important
than the process, at least in this case of having G-d's presence)?
