Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Leviticus 9:24

The very ancient Jewish tradition has been widely adopted that the sacred fire of the altar originated in this divine act, and that it was afterward preserved on the altar of the tabernacle until the dedication of the temple, when fire again “came down from heaven.” 2 Chronicles 7:1. But according to the sacred narrative the altar-fire had been lighted in a natural way before this occasion. (Compare Leviticus 8:16; Leviticus 9:10, Leviticus 9:13, etc.; Exodus 40:29.) It would therefore seem... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Leviticus 9:24

Leviticus 9:24. And there came a fire In token of God’s approbation of the priesthood now instituted, and the sacrifices offered, and consequently of others of the like nature. And this fire now given was to be carefully kept, and not suffered to go out, (Leviticus 6:13,) and therefore was carried in a peculiar vessel in their journeys in the wilderness. It is said to have lasted till the time of Solomon, when God sent fire anew from heaven to consume the sacrifices offered at the... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Leviticus 9:1-24

The priests begin their duties (9:1-24)Immediately after the seven-day ordination period, Aaron and his sons began their duties. Before acting as the representatives of others, they offered a sin offering for their own cleansing and a burnt offering for their own dedication (9:1-14). After this they offered four sacrifices on behalf of Israel: a sin offering, to indicate that the people were cleansed from sin; a burnt offering, to indicate that they were dedicated to God; a cereal offering, to... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Leviticus 9:24

Leviticus 9:24. And there came a fire out from before the Lord, and confirmed upon the altar, &c.— In token of his acceptance, the LORD sent forth from his presence a fire, which consumed the burnt-offering, and its fat; by which the evening-sacrifice is generally understood. Thus God gave a public attestation to the ministry of Aaron. In the same manner the place of worship was dedicated in the time of David; 1Ch 21:26 and so likewise the temple of Solomon, 2 Chronicles 7:1. Thus the... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Leviticus 9:24

24. there came a fire out from . . . the Lord—A flame emanating from that resplendent light that filled the holy place flashed upon the brazen altar and kindled the sacrifices. This miraculous fire—for the descent of which the people had probably been prepared, and which the priests were enjoined never to let go out ( :-) —was a sign, not only of the acceptance of the offerings and of the establishment of Aaron's authority, but of God's actual residence in that chosen dwelling-place. The moment... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Leviticus 9:22-24

Fire from the Lord 9:22-24After offering these sacrifices, Aaron blessed the people (Leviticus 9:22). He "stepped down" perhaps from a platform near the altar of burnt offerings on which he may have been standing to address the people. Probably Moses took Aaron into the holy place to present him to the Lord and to pray for God’s blessing with him (Leviticus 9:23)."The appearance of the glory of Jehovah is probably to be regarded in this instance, and also in Numbers 16:19; Numbers 17:7 [sic 8];... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 9:1-24

Installation of Aaron and his SonsThe ceremonial of consecration is repeated daily for seven days (Leviticus 8:33 see Exodus 29:35). On the eighth day Aaron and his sons formally assume office. Aaron first sacrifices for himself (Leviticus 9:7-14) and then for the people (Leviticus 9:15-21). The solemn blessing of the people follows (Leviticus 9:22-23), after which fire from the Lord descends and consumes the sacrifices upon the altar (Leviticus 9:24).7. Aaron did not approach the altar till... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Leviticus 9:24

(24) And there came a fire.—As a further indication of His acceptance of all the forementioned rites, the Lord sent forth from the luminous cloud flashes of fire, which, on this occasion, suddenly consumed in the sight of the people the victims that ordinarily continued smouldering on the altar all the day and all the night. In this manner God afterwards testified His acceptance of the sacrifice of Gideon (Judges 6:20-21), of Elijah, (1 Kings 18:28), and of the sacrifices of Solomon at the... read more
