Leviticus 9:9 KJV,ASV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Leviticus 9:8-22

These being the first offerings that ever were offered by the levitical priesthood, according to the newly-enacted law of sacrifices, the manner of offering them is particularly related, that it might appear how exactly they agreed with the institution. 1. Aaron with his own hands slew the offering (Lev. 9:8), and did the work of the inferior priests; for, great as he was, he must not think any service below him which he could do for the honour of God: and, as Moses had shown him how to do... read more

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

And the sons of Aaron brought the blood unto him ,.... The blood of the calf of the sin offering, which they had received in a basin when it was slain: and he dipped his finger in the blood, and put it upon the horns of the altar ; the four horns of it, as Moses had done at his consecration, which was an example to him, Leviticus 8:15 . This was typical of the blood of Christ, to which persons may have recourse from the four quarters of the world for atonement and pardon: and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 9:1-24

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

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

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
