Imagine your teacher talking directly to you before giving you special homework. God is doing the same thing here with Aaron. He's about to tell Aaron important rules to follow, just like your teacher gives you important rules in class.

Living It Out Today
In modern life, this can be seen as a reminder for leaders, like teachers or managers, to always be prepared to receive important instructions and to follow them carefully. Just as Aaron was to follow God's instructions, leaders today must listen carefully to their superiors and follow the rules and guidelines set for them.
