Levítico 9:1 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 9:1

And it came to pass on the eighth day
When the seven days of consecration were ended, as Ben Gersom, the day following them, so soon was Aaron called to the execution of his office; and so both the Targum of Jonathan and Jarchi make it to be the eighth day of the consecration, or the day after the anointing of Aaron and his sons, and which they both say was the beginning, or first day of Nisan, the day the tabernacle was erected by Moses: but that seems to have been set up before the consecration; rather this was, as Aben Ezra says, the eighth day of the month Nisan or March, and was the eighth day of the consecration, which began at the first day, on which day the tabernacle was set up, ( Exodus 40:2 ) :

[that] Moses, called Aaron and his sons, and the elders of Israel;
Aaron and his sons to enter upon their office, by offering sacrifices for themselves, and for the people, and the elders to be witnesses thereof.

Levítico 9:1 In-Context

1 Ora, ao dia oitavo, Moisés chamou a Arão e seus filhos, e os anciãos de Israel,
2 e disse a Arão: Toma um bezerro tenro para oferta pelo pecado, e um carneiro para holocausto, ambos sem defeito, e oferece-os perante o Senhor.
3 E falarás aos filhos de Israel, dizendo: Tomai um bode para oferta pelo pecado; e um bezerro e um cordeiro, ambos de um ano, e sem defeito, como holocausto;
4 também um boi e um carneiro para ofertas pacíficas, para sacrificar perante o Senhor e oferta de cereais, amassada com azeite; porquanto hoje o Senhor vos aparecerá.
5 Então trouxeram até a entrada da tenda da revelação o que Moisés ordenara, e chegou-se toda a congregação, e ficou de pé diante do Senhor.
