Leviticus 9:8-14 - Exposition

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 sacrifice (see Hebrews 7:24-27 ).
