Aliya Summary: G‑d instructed Moshe to erect the Tabernacle on the
first of Nissan. G‑d also instructed Moshe to place all the Tabernacle's
vessels in their proper places, and to anoint all of the items with the
anointing oil, thus sanctifying them. Moshe is also directed to dress
Aaron and his sons in the priestly garments, and to anoint them, too.
Note
that Aaron's sons were also anointed. Regular kohanim are not; they
were exceptions. It gave them a status of Kohen Gadol. That's why Elazar
and Itamar were not able to tend to the bodies of their brothers Nadav
and Avihu and cousins were called in to take care of things. Aaron's
sons needed to be anointed, because they weren't kohanim by birth.
