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

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 9:1

Chapter 9 The Priests Participate in Their First Offerings And The Glory Of Yahweh Is Revealed. The seven days of consecration now being completed the priests are called on to conduct their first series of offerings in order to sanctify the people to Yahweh. It is noteworthy that the Priest’s purification for sin offering for himself now offered does not follow the pattern earlier laid down. Its blood is not borne within the Holy Place. This may be because as yet he has not entered the Holy... 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

Inaugural Ministries of AaronSUGGESTIVE READINGSLeviticus 9:1.—On the eighth day. 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. Moreover, the day was to be distinguished by a sublime manifestation of “the glory of Jehovah” unto them and before... read more

Chapter 9And so it came to pass on the eighth day that Moses called Aaron and his sons, and the elders of Israel; and he said unto Aaron, Take thee a young calf for a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering, without blemish, and offer them before the Lord ( Leviticus 9:1-2 ).Now Aaron is to begin his ministry.

Our Saviour also, on the eighth day after his resurrection, in a particular manner set apart the apostles for their work. The rabbins say that... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Leviticus 9:1-24

Leviticus 9:1-24Aaron therefore went unto the altar.Aaron in the duties of his officeThe duties of the high priest, as exhibited in this chapter, divide themselves into two general classes. Some of his services related exclusively to himself, and the rest exclusively to the people. Aaron, though a priest, was still a man, with all the wants and infirmities of men. He consequently needed atonement as much as those for whom he was to officiate. And before he was allowed to proceed with his duties... read more
