Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Leviticus 9:8-22

These being the first offerings that ever were offered by the levitical priesthood, according to the newly-enacted law of sacrifices, the manner of offering them is particularly related, that it might appear how exactly they agreed with the institution. 1. Aaron with his own hands slew the offering (Lev. 9:8), and did the work of the inferior priests; for, great as he was, he must not think any service below him which he could do for the honour of God: and, as Moses had shown him how to do... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 9:8

Aaron therefore went unto the altar ,.... Of burnt offering, freely and cheerfully, at the direction and introduction of Moses, who acted in this affair in the name of the Lord: and slew the calf of the sin offering , which was for himself ; which was to be offered first, as it was proper it should, that, atonement being made for his sins, his after burnt offering might be accepted with God, and he be fit to offer the sacrifices of the people: the calf he slew on the north side of... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 9:9

And the sons of Aaron brought the blood unto him ,.... The blood of the calf of the sin offering, which they had received in a basin when it was slain: and he dipped his finger in the blood, and put it upon the horns of the altar ; the four horns of it, as Moses had done at his consecration, which was an example to him, Leviticus 8:15 . This was typical of the blood of Christ, to which persons may have recourse from the four quarters of the world for atonement and pardon: and... read more

But the fat, and the kidneys, and the caul above the liver of the sin offering , he burnt upon the altar ,.... The Septuagint version is, "he offered them": as the Lord commanded Moses ; see Leviticus 4:8 . read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 9:11

And the flesh and the hide he burnt with fire without the camp. With common fire, for the fire from the Lord came only upon the altar, which perhaps may be the reason of this expression being used when anything was burnt without the camp, and not on the altar, see Exodus 29:14 . Jarchi observes, that we do not find a sin offering burnt without the camp but this; which is a great mistake; see Leviticus 4:11 . read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 9:13

And they presented the burnt offering to him ,.... After it was cut in pieces, as the ram of the burnt offering was by Moses, Leviticus 8:20 and so it was done to this, as appears by what follows: with the pieces thereof, and the head, and he burnt them upon the altar ; the Septuagint version is, "he put them on the altar". read more

And he did wash the inwards and the legs ,.... As Moses also had done, Leviticus 8:21 . and burnt them upon the burnt offering on the altar ; upon the pieces, and the head, before mentioned, said to be burnt, or "after" the burnt offering, after they were burnt: the Septuagint version is as before. read more

And he brought the people's offering ,.... To the altar, having offered his own first: and took the goat, which was the sin offering for the people, and slew it ; where he had slain his own: and offered it for sin, as the first : the first offering he offered for himself, which was of the same sort. read more
