Leviticus 6:9 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Leviticus 6:8-13

Hitherto we have had the instructions which Moses was directed to give to the people concerning the sacrifices; but here begin the instructions he was to give to the priests; he must command Aaron and his sons, Lev. 6:9. The priests were rulers in the house of God, but these rulers must be ruled; and those that had the command of others must themselves be commanded. Let ministers remember that not only commissions, but commands, were given to Aaron and his sons, who must be in subjection to... read more

Command Aaron and his sons ,.... Who were nominated, selected, and appointed to the office, though not yet consecrated to it and invested with it, see Leviticus 8:1 . saying, this is the law of the burnt offering ; of the daily sacrifice, morning and evening: it is the burnt offering, because of, or for the burning upon the altar all night unto the morning ; as there was nothing offered on the altar of burnt offering after the evening daily sacrifice, nor anything before the... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 6:9

This is the law of the burnt-offering - This law properly refers to that burnt-offering which was daily made in what was termed the morning and evening sacrifice; and as he had explained the nature of this burnt-offering in general, with its necessary ceremonies, as far as the persons who brought them were concerned, he now takes up the same in relation to the priests who were to receive them from the hands of the offerer, and present them to the Lord on the altar of burnt-offerings. ... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 6:9

Verse 9 9.Command Aaron and his sons. He more distinctly explains what might have appeared to be omitted; nor is it without reason that he carefully enters into these full details, for since God prefers obedience to all sacrifices, he was unwilling that anything should remain doubtful as to the external rites, which were not otherwise of great importance; that they might learn to observe precisely, and with the most exact care, whatever the Law commanded, and that they should not obtrude... read more

(See note on Le Leviticus 1:3 .) The further ritual of the burnt offering is exhibited in the particular instance of the lamb sacrificed every evening ( Exodus 29:33 ). In other cases the ritual was to be the same. Instead of It is the burnt offering, because of the burning upon the altar all night unto the morning, the reading should be, It, the burnt offering (viz. the evening sacrifice), shall burn upon the hearth upon the altar all night unto the morning. The priest is to wear... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 6:8-13

The law of the burnt offering. With this paragraph the Jews begin the twenty-fifth section of the Law; and, as a new subject is here introduced, this ought to have been the commencement of the chapter. In some of the best editions of the Hebrew Bible, the paragraph preceding this is properly made the sequel of the fifth chapter, and the sixth commences with this. The burnt offering was treated of before, viz. in the first chapter, with more particular reference to ceremonies relating to... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 6:8-13

Three principles of piety. We gather from this clause— I. THAT HOLINESS BECOMES THE HOUSE OF GOD . It seems generally agreed that the linen garments, in which the priests were to be robed when engaged in sacrificial acts ( Leviticus 6:10 ), signified the purity of heart which should characterize the worshipper of God (see Exodus 28:42 ; Ezekiel 44:19 ). Certainly it is only the "pure in heart" who can hope to "see God," either by faith here or in beatific vision... read more

The priests' ritual. Hitherto the command had been, "Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them" ( Leviticus 1:2 ; Leviticus 4:2 ); Command Aaron and his sons;" the reason being that the injunctions which follow are specially addressed to the future priesthood. I. PRECISION OF THE POSITIVE RULES AND REGULATIONS GIVEN TO THE AARONIC PRIESTHOOD . Nothing is left to the individual's origination, all is ruled for him—every act that he performs, and... read more

Quench not the Spirit. Cf. Ephesians 4:30 ; I Thessalonians Ephesians 5:19 . We have here sundry sacrificial laws enabling us the better to understand the details of the preceding sacrifices; but the cardinal idea in them all, as we shall now see, is that which heads this homily, "Quench not the Spirit." And— I. THE FIRE OF THE BURNT OFFERING WAS TO BE CAREFULLY PRESERVED , SO THAT IT SHOULD NEVER GO OUT . This necessitated a regular removal of... read more
