    Leviticus Chapter 9 continued.

    After completing all of these offerings, Aaron turned, raised his hands and spoke a blessing over the people, (most likely the Aaronic blessing Num. (6:23-27) and then came down from the place of offering the sacrifices. Moses and Aaron went into the tent of meeting together and came out and blessed the people again.

    Then the glory of YHWH appeared to all of the people (they all saw and experienced it together) and fire came out from YHWH to the altar and completely consumed all of the burnt offering and the fat on the altar. This showed that He accepted the sacrifices and also brought to the people what these sacrifices signified. The people shouted fell on their faces.

    We are not told what the glory of the LORD was like, nor what they shouted.

    This was one continuous ceremony from start to finish. It must have taken all day for it to be finished. And then Aaron would be beginning the evening sacrifice at sundown that day. Verse 1 said that it was on the 8th day. (of which month?)

    In regards of the foreshadowing of Christ in this lengthy ceremony that initiates the priestly morning and evening sacrifices day in and day out. Perhaps it foreshadowed the length of time Jesus was on the cross. But it may be showing that before we can thank God for saving us and having communion with him, Jesus needed to be the sin and burnt offering on the cross first. He not only had our sins taken upon himself on the cross, but he also was the only perfect burnt offering, wholly giving himself to the Father' will until the preordained purpose for and work of the cross was completed. When it was finished, then we can bring a thank offering and celebrate a peace offering.

    Leviticus Chapter 9

    In this chapter, Aaron as the newly consecrated High Priest and his newly consecrated sons begin their priestly duties of offerings and sacrifices for themselves and for the people. Moses served as the priest for these offerings and sacrifices during the 7 days of consecration of the priestly family. But now, his priestly work is completed and the duty shifts to the Aaronic lineage.

    The order of the offerings/sacrifices is interesting in that it is somewhat of a reversal of how these were described in Leviticus Ch. 1-6. In these chapters the order was: burnt offering, grain offering, peace offering, sin offering, trespass offering. In Chapter 9 the order is: sin offering, burnt offering, peace offering, grain offering. This order must be significant.

    The sin offering for Aaron was first. It was for the atonement of his own sins. Then the burnt offering for himself and his sons. This was for the imputation of their sins onto the sacrifice. Then they offered the sin offering for the people and then the burnt offering. Next, Aaron offered the meat offering (grain) as a symbol of thanksgiving and gratitude to God for being merciful and gracious in removing their sins. After these offerings were done (indicating that their sins had been forgiven and removed from them), Aaron offered the peace offering, offering the breast and the right thigh were lifted towards the altar and back toward them as a wave offering, perhaps indicating that the offering was first given to God and then received back again to the Priests for their holy meal eaten in the tabernacle of meeting only. The peace offering symbolized that peace had been acihieved with YHWH and they could now have Him appear to them in the tent of meeting.

    All of these offerings were done according to how YHWH had instructed Moses and Moses, in turn, instructed a demonstrated for the priests and people during the time of consecration of the priesthood.

    The eighth day. It would appear; with Pentacost being on the eighth day (7 weeks plus one day) that there is some precedent in the O.T. account (verse 1) and the last verse (the fire coming down from heaven and consuming the offering) that this is symbolic to what happened after the tongues of fire came down in the Book of Acts on Pentecost. The sacrifice was acceptable-this was as the commentary suggests here the first formalized sacrifice for the nation which was as Christ's offering acceptable.

    It is interesting that there was an offering for Aaron alone (the calf); and one for the people

    (the goat). He also had a peace offering (bullock and ram) for the people; as well as the meat offering (apparently flour cakes); along with the wave offering (breasts and shoulder) in verse 21. First of all; there were all types of offerings in one ceremony. Secondly; only one animal was needed for everyone-normally there were numerous sacrifices going on for each person's sins. The only other case I am aware of (I think with Samuel or in Judges) where only one animal was sacrificed..probably when there was no temple and there had been a long period of neglect of ordinances in the land. This situation also occurred with Solomon's Temple initiation of prayer when he was still faithful to the Lord and finally built the Temple that David had attempted to start. Ultimately, the Son of David was to be Christ Himself; and obedience is better than sacrifice. The Lord would in Isaiah state that he was weary of the sacrifices; the incense; the new moons and other things that had become ritualistic rather than with a heart devoted to the Lord. Those rare occasions when the nation was faithful at least externally it was able to make leaps and bounds forward.

    Tyler Hall,

    The Flood was 1656 years from the creation of Adam. Noah first entered the ark on day 17th of the second month and left the ark on day 27th of the second month the following year. So, they were on the Ark for 370 days, this would be 1657 years 2 months from the creation of Adam. The B.C. date will range from 2300-3000 B.C. for the flood depending on what records you research. The Jewish year for 2021 is 5782 so if you go with that, it was the year 2104 B.C. when the Ark landed on the mountain.

    Have you ever thought about the dove bringing back an olive leaf to Noah?

    God bless,

    You're going to have to do some fancy googling; maybe read some Hebrew history. You can hang out or check tomorrow; CHRIS may already know that date.

    Genesis 6:9

    These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.

    Genesis 7:13

    In the selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, into the ark;

    Genesis 5:32

    And Noah was five hundred years old: and Noah begat Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

    Genesis 7:9

    There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah.

    Isaiah 54:9

    For this is as the waters of Noah unto me: for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth; so have I sworn that I would not be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee.

    Genesis 9:28

    And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years: and he died.

    Genesis 7:6

    And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.

    In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.

    Genesis 8:13

    And it came to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from off the earth: and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and, behold, the face of the ground was dry.

    Genesis 10:1

    Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood.

    It is not possible for the blood of a goat or a lamb to wash sins away. Nevertheless, Jesus Christ is the Lamb of God who took away the sins of he whole world.

    It's amazing how much they had to do back then compared to now and all because of Jesus. Thank you God! We'd sure have to have a lot of animals now days

    Ed, yes we are saved by grace. But the law to come first which is perfect but make no remedy for error or sin. Therefore, like the apostle Paul said in Gat. 3:24. "Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith. Also, Eph. 2:8,9 says, "For by grace are ye saved, through faith and that not of yourselves it is the gift of God: v9 not of work, lest any man should boast ". God bless us all and in the understanding of his Word. Glory be to Jehovah in the highest through Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen!
