Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Leviticus 9:23-24

We are not told what Moses and Aaron went into the tabernacle to do, Lev. 9:23. Some of the Jewish writers say, ?They went in to pray for the appearance of the divine glory;? most probably they went in that Moses might instruct Aaron how to do the service that was to be done there?burn incense, light the lamps, set the show-bread, etc., that he might instruct his sons in it. But, when they came out, they both joined in blessing the people, who stood expecting the promised appearance of the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 9:24

And there came a fire out from before the Lord ,.... Either from heaven, or from the holy of holies, where was the symbol of the divine Presence, and Jehovah had now took up his residence: and consumed upon the altar the burnt offering, and the fat ; according to Aben Ezra, the burnt offering of Aaron, and of the people, and of the daily sacrifice, for so it is written, besides the burnt offering of the morning, Leviticus 9:17 and the fat of the calf and ram of Aaron, and of the goat,... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 9:24

When all the people saw, they shouted, and fell on their faces - The miracle was done in such a way as gave the fullest conviction to the people of its reality. They exulted in the thought that the God of almighty power and energy had taken up his abode among them. They prostrated themselves in his presence, thereby intimating the deep sense they had of His goodness, of their unworthiness, and of the obligation they were under to live in subjection to his authority, and obedience to... 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

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

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 9:23-24

The glory of the Lord. The petition of Moses was, "Show me thy glory." The wisdom, power, and goodness of the Almighty are visible in all his works, and "the heavens declare his glory," but man longs for a fuller display of the matchless perfections of Deity. The artist is superior to his handiwork, and to view God is a greater satisfaction than to contemplate the evidences of his existence and skill that lie around us. To behold him as he is, to "see his face" in its undimmed luster,—this... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 9:23-24

The manifested presence. The fulfillment of the Divine promise ( Leviticus 9:6 ) by the manifested presence of Jehovah suggests— I. ITS CONSISTENCY WITH OTHER DIVINE MANIFESTATIONS . God so revealed his presence when he did visibly appear to man, that there should be no delusion in the matter. None could, none did, mistake the "glory of the Lord" for the Lord himself ( Exodus 3:2 ; Exodus 24:16 , Exodus 24:17 ; Exodus 33:9 ; 2 Chronicles 7:1 ; 1 Kings 18:38 ; ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 9:24

And there came a fire out from before the Lord. The sacrifices were already smouldering on the altar, a ram, a calf, and a lamb, besides the internal fat of a young bull, a kid, a bullock, and a ram, and a handful of flour. They would have continued smouldering all the day and the night, but a miraculous fire issued from the tabernacle, and consumed the whole in the sight of the people. So fire fell and consumed Solomon's sacrifice at the dedication of the temple. Jewish tradition reports... read more
