Podcast: Play in new window | Download
30:13 – Decked out in their priestly finery, the newly-consecrated priests carry out the apparently pointless slaughter of numerous animals, leading up to the glory of the (hologrammatic) Lord appearing to all the Israelites, not just the priests, and the consumption by (phaser) fire of the slaughtered animals. Shortly thereafter, the danger of the newly-installed priests not taking their priestly duties seriously enough is demonstrated in dramatic and tragic fashion, temporarily putting Aaron off his feed.
