Leviticus 9:13

_AND THE SONS OF AARON BROUGHT THE BLOOD UNTO HIM: AND HE DIPPED HIS FINGER IN THE BLOOD, AND PUT IT UPON THE HORNS OF THE ALTAR, AND POURED OUT THE BLOOD AT THE BOTTOM OF THE ALTAR:_ No JFB commentary on these verses....

1-21 These many sacrifices, which were all done away by the death of Christ, teach us that our best services need washing in his blood, and that the guilt of our best sacrifices needs to be done away by one more pure and more noble than they. Let us be thankful that we have such a High Priest. The priests had not a day's respite from service allowed. God's spiritual priests have constant work, which the duty of every day requires; they that would give up their account with joy, must redeem time. The glory of God appeared in the sight of the people, and owned what they had done. We are not now to expect such appearances, but God draws nigh to those who draw nigh to him, and the offerings of faith are acceptable to him; though the sacrifices being spiritual, the tokens of the acceptance are spiritual likewise. When Aaron had done all that was to be done about the sacrifices, he lifted up...

EXPOSITION THE FIRST PRIESTLY ACTS OF AARON AND HIS SONS are recounted in the chapter following that which narrates their consecration. LEVITICUS 9:1 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 young bull calf, whereas the si

AND THEY PRESENTED THE BURNT OFFERING TO HIM,.... After it was cut in pieces, as the ram of the burnt offering was by Moses, Leviticus 8:20 and so it was done to this, as appears by what follows: WITH THE PIECES THEREOF, AND THE HEAD, AND HE BURNT THEM UPON THE ALTAR; the Septuagint version is, "he put them on the altar"....

2. THE FUNCTIONS OF THE PRIESTHOOD EXERCISED CHAPTER 9 _ 1. The new offerings of the priests (Leviticus 9:1)_ 2. The people's offerings (Leviticus 9:15) 3. The fulness of blessing and glory (Leviticus 9:22) A service follows the consecration of the priests, in which they officiated; hitherto Moses had acted by divine command. The service ordered is of great significance. For seven days, during the days of their consecration, a bullock had been offered for Aaron and his sons, and yet at the beginning of the eighth day a young calf for a sin offering and a ram for a burnt offering are needed. This reminds us of...

LEVITICUS 9. THE INSTALLATION FUNCTIONS. These take place at the end of the consecration octave. Here Aaron, assisted by his sons, as now consecrated, is the officiator, and not Moses, as in Leviticus 8. LEVITICUS 9:1. PREPARATION OF PRIESTS AND PEOPLE. The ceremony and its purpose are closely similar to those of the Day of Atonement. For the priests themselves, a sin offering, a bull-calf, and a burnt offering, a ram; for the people, a sin offering, a he-goat, a burnt offering, calf and lamb, and also a peace offering, ox and ram. No choice of animals is given here, as in Leviticus 1, and in Leviticus 4 the goat is for the prince and the bullock for the whole people. The meal offering accompanies, as in Leviticus 2, etc. The altar is the altar of burnt offering, the only altar known to P (altar of incense,...

The Burnt-Offering is offered as in Leviticus 8:18-21....

THE PRESENTATION OF THE OFFERINGS 9:1-21 (1) THE SIN OFFERING (2) BURNT OFFERING (3) MEAL OFFERING (4) PEACE OFFERING TEXT 9:1-21 1 And it came to pass on the eighth day, that Moses called Aaron and his sons, and the elders of Israel; 2 and he said unto Aaron, Take thee a calf of the herd for a sin-offering, and a ram for a burnt-offering, without blemish, and offer them before Jehovah. 3 And unto the children of Israel thou shalt speak, saying, Take ye a he-goat for a sin-offering; and a calf and a lamb, both a year old, without blemish, for a burnt-offering; 4 and an ox and a ram for peace-offerings, to sacrifice before Jehovah; and a meal-offering mingled with oil: for to-day Jehovah appeareth unto you. 5 And they brought that which Moses commanded before the tent of meeting: and all the cong

INSTALLATION OF AARON AND HIS SONS The ceremonial of consecration is repeated daily for seven days (Leviticus 8:33 see Exodus 29:35). On the eighth day Aaron and his sons formally assume office. Aaron first sacrifices for himself (Leviticus 9:7) and then for the people (Leviticus 9:15). The solemn blessing of the people follows (Leviticus 9:22), after which fire from the Lord descends and consumes the sacrifices upon the altar (Leviticus 9:24)....
