Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Leviticus 9:8

"So Aaron drew near the altar, and slew the calf of the sin-offering, which was for himself. And the sons of Aaron delivered unto him the blood; and he dipped his finger in the blood, and put it upon the horns of the altar, and poured out the blood at the base of the altar: but the fat, and the kidneys, and the caul of the liver of the sin-offering, he burnt upon the altar; as Jehovah commanded Moses. And the flesh and the skin he burnt with fire without the camp."Aaron here followed the... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Leviticus 9:8

8. Aaron . . . went unto the altar, and slew the calf of the sin offering—Whether it had been enjoined the first time, or was unavoidable from the divisions of the priestly labor not being as yet completely arranged, Aaron, assisted by his sons, appears to have slain the victims with his own hands, as well as gone through all the prescribed ritual at the altar. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Leviticus 9:7-21

Moses’ command to Aaron and his obedience 9:7-21Aaron first offered a sin offering (Leviticus 9:8-11) and then a burnt offering for himself (Leviticus 9:12-14). By offering them he acknowledged publicly that he was a sinner and needed forgiveness. Then he presented four offerings for the Israelites (Leviticus 9:15-21): sin, burnt, meal, and peace. The variety of the sacrifices and sacrificial animals stands out more than their quantity. This probably indicates that the purpose of these... 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

(8) And slew the calf.—As the sacrificer Aaron, like every ordinary offerer, slaughtered the victim himself (see Leviticus 1:5) on the north side of the altar. (See Leviticus 1:11.) read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Leviticus 9:1-24

THE INAUGURATION OF THE TABERNACLE SERVICELeviticus 9:1-24AARON and his sons having now been solemnly consecrated to the priestly office by the ceremonies of seven days, their formal assumption of their daily duties in the tabernacle was marked by a special service suited to the august occasion, signalised at its close by the appearance of the glory of Jehovah to assembled Israel, in token of His sanction and approval of all that had been done. It would appear that the daily burnt offering and... read more

THE ORDER OF THE OFFERINGSLeviticus 9:7-21"And Moses said onto Aaron. Draw near unto the altar, and offer thy sin offering, and thy burnt offering, and make atonement for thyself, and for the people: and offer the oblation of the people, and make atonement for them; as the Lord commanded. So Aaron drew near unto the altar, and slew the calf of the sin offering, which was for himself. And the sons of Aaron presented the blood unto him: and he dipped his finger in the blood, and put it upon the... read more

2. The Functions of the Priesthood Exercised CHAPTER 9 1. The new offerings of the priests (Leviticus 9:1-14 ) 2. The people’s offerings (Leviticus 9:15-21 ) 3. The fulness of blessing and glory (Leviticus 9:22-24 ) A service follows the consecration of the priests, in which they officiated; hitherto Moses had acted by divine command. The service ordered is of great significance. For seven days, during the days of their consecration, a bullock had been offered for Aaron and his sons,... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 9:1-24

THE BEGINNING OF PRIESTLY MINISTRY (vv. 1-24) Having completed all the instructions concerning the offerings and their laws, and now also having completed the consecration of the priests, Moses indicates the beginning of the priestly service in connection with the people. This was on “the eighth day,” for it was a new beginning for the people as regards their relationship to God. Moses addressed both Aaron and his sons and the elders of Israel. Aaron was to offer a young calf and a ram for a... read more
