レビ記 9:8-22 JCB

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 9:1-24

Subject: God's glory manifested in the blessedness of his people. The priests enter upon their office, offer sacrifices for themselves and the people, and receive tokens of Jehovah's presence and blessing. "And Aaron lifted up his hand towards the people," etc. ( Leviticus 9:22-24 ). The main facts described are: 1 . The joint blessing of the mediator of the Law and the high priest on the people, the solemn conclusion of the consecration and inauguration. 2 . The glory of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 9:8-14

The high priest's sin offering and burnt offering for himself. The meat offering does not appear to have accompanied the burnt offering—the law having not yet been promulgated which ordered that the two sacrifices should always be presented together ( Numbers 15:4 ). The burnt offering, with the pieces thereof, in Leviticus 9:13 , should rather be the burnt offering in its several pieces. The sinfulness of the Aaronic priesthood and the need of a perfect priest is indicated by this... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 9:8-21

The priest at the altar. Aaron now enters on the great and high work to which he is appointed—that of God's chosen high priest. He "went unto the altar." As we follow him in that first official act ( Leviticus 9:8 ) and see him, with the help of his sons ( Leviticus 9:9 ), slaying the calf or the goat ( Leviticus 9:8 , Leviticus 9:15 ), putting the blood on the horns, or pouring it at the bottom of the altar ( Leviticus 9:9 ), we are reminded of fundamental truth which does not... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 9:8-23

The first act of the new priesthood is sacrifice, by which reconciliation was ceremonially effected; the second ( Leviticus 9:22 , Leviticus 9:23 ), a double benediction. As soon as the people are reconciled to him, God's blessing abundantly pours itself on them. The sacrifice is: 1 . For themselves, showing the weakness of the Aaronic priesthood. 2 . For the people, showing its power. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 9:8-24

Aaron's first priestly services. Moses officiated as the priest of the Lord until the consecration of Aaron and his sons was completed. Now they enter upon their functions, and the verses recited furnish us with an account of their first services. In reviewing these we notice— I. THE OFFERINGS . 1 . Aaron's offering for himself. 2 . The offerings for the people. II. THE BLESSING . 1 . The blessing from the altar ( Leviticus 9:22 ). (a) the beatitudes... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 9:15-21

The people's sin offering, burnt off, ring, meat offering, and peace offerings follow. The meat offering is said to have been burnt upon the altar, beside the burnt sacrifice of the morning . It is probable that, on this occasion, the people's burnt offering, which consisted of a calf and a lamb, took the place of the ordinary morning sacrifice of a lamb ( Exodus 29:38 ). Aaron is said to have offered the burnt offering according to the manner , or, as it is given in the margin, ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 9:22

And Aaron lifted up his hand or (according to the more probable reading) hands. This was the first priestly benediction by Aaron, given from the elevated standing-place which he occupied by the side of the altar. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 9:22

Holy invocation. This was an imposing act of piety, one which our imagination easily presents to our minds, and which affects us as profoundly interesting. The high priest, after solemnly and with holy awe offering the sacrifices of himself and the people, comes forth from the Divine presence, and with hands lifted up to heaven, utters, amid intense silence, the sacred words, "The Lord bless thee and keep thee," etc. ( Numbers 6:23-26 ). It was a scene fitted to subdue and sanctify the... read more

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

Aaron did not act according to the ordinary Law Leviticus 4:5-7, Leviticus 4:16-18, but as Moses had done in the sin-offering of the consecration ceremony (Leviticus 8:15; compare also Leviticus 4:25, Leviticus 4:30, Leviticus 4:34). The probable reason of this was that he had not yet been formally introduced as the high priest into the holy place of the tabernacle.Brought the blood - They most likely held the basons in which the blood was received as it ran from the victim, and then handed... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Leviticus 9:15-21

In this first complete series of offerings made by the high priest, the sacrifices take their appointed order; first, the sin-offering to make atonement; then the burnt-offering, to signify the surrender of the body, soul and spirit to Yahweh in heaven; and lastly the peace-offering, to show forth the communion vouchsafed to those who are justified and sanctified. See Leviticus 8:14 note. read more
