Aaron and sons had no choice in becoming priests. They were chosen whether they liked it or not. Sometimes God doesn't just call you. He takes you. #leviticus 8:2

When the priesthood was inaugurated, they underwent a mikvah, which in part symbolized the shedding of one life and donning of another. The Hebrew mikvah is the ultimate origin of the Christian tradition of #baptism. Leviticus 8:6

If men had designed the ceremony to inaugurate the priesthood, it probably would have been very different. Blood, oil, fat, organs, boiled meat... How odd! But God's commands aren't arbitrary. Every Word is purposeful, and you can't approach God on your terms. "God knows my heart" is a copout.
