Leviticus 9:6 NLT

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 9:6

This is the thing which the Lord commanded that ye should do ,.... Namely, what they had done, bring the creatures and things for sacrifice they had: and the glory of the Lord shall appear unto you ; either Christ, the brightness of his Father's glory, in an human form, as a presage of his future incarnation, as he frequently did; or some more than ordinary refulgence of glory breaking out of the holy of holies, where God had now taken up his dwelling between the cherubim; or, as Aben... read more

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

And the glory of the Lord shall appear - God shall give the most sensible signs of his presence among you; this he did in general by the cloud on the tabernacle, but in this case the particular proof was the fire that came out from before the Lord, and consumed the burnt-offering; see Leviticus 9:23 , Leviticus 9:24 . read more

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

Verse 6 6.And Moses said, This is the thing which the Lord commanded He seems, indeed, to address himself to the whole people, to whom also the promise belonged; but in the word “do ye,” (413) He specially speaks to the sons of Aaron; and he promises what, at the end of the chapter, he will state to have been fulfilled, that the glory of God should be manifested in approbation of the priesthood, in order that they may set about their duties more cheerfully. For this was no common aid to their... 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 Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 9:1-7

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
