Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 9:1-21

1-21 These many sacrifices, which were all done away by the death of Christ, teach us that our best services need washing in his blood, and that the guilt of our best sacrifices needs to be done away by one more pure and more noble than they. Let us be thankful that we have such a High Priest. The priests had not a day's respite from service allowed. God's spiritual priests have constant work, which the duty of every day requires; they that would give up their account with joy, must redeem... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Leviticus 9:1-21

Aaron’s Offerings for Himself and the People Leviticus 9:1-21 In the concluding verses of Leviticus 8:1-36 we read of Aaron and his sons feeding together on the flesh of the consecration-offering; and that for seven days, during which time they were not permitted to leave the Tabernacle-a striking figure of the present position of our Lord and His own, during this dispensation, shut in with God, and awaiting the manifestation of His glory. May not this eighth day, on which the glory of the... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Leviticus 9:1-24

Here we see the priests actually beginning their sacred work. After the gathering of the people, they stood in solemn silence in the presence of Jehovah. Aaron's first act was bringing the sin offering and the burnt offering for himself. He could not be the instrument of mediation between the people and God for worship save as he was brought into right relationship with God The first acts of the priests on behalf of the people are now recorded. The offerings brought were presented: first the... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 9:1-24

Leviticus 9. The Installation Functions.— These take place at the end of the consecration “ octave.” Here Aaron, assisted by his sons, as now consecrated, is the officiator, and not Moses, as in Leviticus 8. Leviticus 9:1-Judges : . Preparation of Priests and People.— The ceremony and its purpose are closely similar to those of the Day of Atonement. For the priests themselves, a sin offering, a bull-calf, and a burnt offering, a ram; for the people, a sin offering, a he-goat, a burnt... read more

It was the dawn of their Sabbath, and followed a week of seclusion within the tabernacle, where they had daily presented their consecration offerings. With what solemn eagerness they must have anticipated this day: the day of their inauguration into their public ministry as God’s priests for Israel.
