Leviticus 9:2,Leviticus 9:3

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Leviticus 9:1-7

Orders are here given for another solemnity upon the eighth day; for the newly-ordained priests were set to work immediately after the days of their consecration were finished, to let them know that they were not ordained to be idle: He that desires the office of a bishop desires a good work, which must be looked at with desire, more than the honour and benefit. The priests had not so much as one day's respite from service allowed them, that they might divert themselves, and receive the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 9:2

And he said unto Aaron ,.... In the presence of the people of Israel: take thee a young calf for a sin offering ; one not exceeding a year old, as in Leviticus 9:3 but this was not for the sin of making the calf only, to which the Jewish writers restrain it, but for all other sins of his, which it was necessary should be expiated before he offered sacrifices for the sins of others: and a ram for a burnt offering ; being a strong and innocent creature, was a proper emblem of... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 9:2

Take thee a young calf, etc. - As these sacrifices were for Aaron himself, they are furnished by himself and not by the people, for they were designed to make atonement for his own sin. See Leviticus 4:3 . And this is supposed by the Jews to have been intended to make an atonement for his sin in the matter of the golden calf. This is very probable, as no formal atonement for that transgression had yet been made. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 9:1-6

On the eighth day. The seven days of consecration being now over, Aaron for the first time offers a sin offering and burnt offering for himself, and a sin offering, a burnt offering, a peace offering, and a meat offering for the congregation. He is still instructed by Moses as to what he is to do, but it is through him that the command is given to the people to present their offerings, and it is he that slays the victims and offers their blood. His own sin offering is a young calf , or... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 9:1-6

Appearing together before God. It is true that we are always "in the presence of the Lord." "He is not far from any one of us." "He compasses our path and our lying down: he besets us behind and before." There is no man who at any moment may not use the prophet's words, "The Lord, before whom I stand." But it is also true that God would have us place ourselves consciously and in company before him; that we should gather together at his house and worship in "his holy temple." We gain... read more

The eighth day. There is sacred mystery in the numbers of Holy Scripture well worthy of attention. We have an example before us. I. ON THIS DAY THE CONSECRATIONS WERE COMPLETED . 1 . The eighth is a day signalized by sanctity. 2 . These things point to gospel times. 3 . But what has this to do with the "eighth day"? II. THAT ON THIS DAY THE LORD WAS TO APPEAR . ( Leviticus 9:4 .) 1 . This promise had an immediate fulfillment.... read more

A sign expected and received. cf. 2 Chronicles 5:13 , 2 Chronicles 5:14 ; Ezra 6:10-22 ; Acts 1:1-26 , Acts 2:1-47 . We have now before us the hopeful fashion in which Aaron and his sons entered upon their work. The consecration being completed on the eighth day, Moses directed them to take for themselves a sin offering and a burnt offering, and to receive at the hands of the people similar offerings, and, in addition, a bullock and a ram for peace offerings, with the usual... read more

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
