Levítico 9:2 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 9:2

And he said unto Aaron
In the presence of the people of Israel:

take thee a young calf for a sin [offering];
one not exceeding a year old, as in ( Leviticus 9:3 ) but this was not for the sin of making the calf only, to which the Jewish writers restrain it, but for all other sins of his, which it was necessary should be expiated before he offered sacrifices for the sins of others:

and a ram for a burnt offering;
being a strong and innocent creature, was a proper emblem of Christ, the Lamb of God, that takes away by his sacrifice the sins of men:

without blemish;
this character belongs, as Aben Ezra observes, both to the calf and ram, which were both to be without spot, and so proper types of Christ the Lamb without spot and blemish, free both from original and actual sin:

and offer [them] before the Lord;
on the altar of burnt offering, which stood in the court of the tabernacle near where Jehovah was, to whom every sacrifice for sin was to be offered, being committed against him, and whose justice must be satisfied for it.

Levítico 9:2 In-Context

1 Aconteci贸 en el octavo d铆a que Mois茅s llam贸 a Aar贸n, a sus hijos y a los ancianos de Israel;
2 y dijo a Aar贸n: Toma un becerro de la vacada para la ofrenda por el pecado, y un carnero para el holocausto, ambos sin defecto, y ofr茅celos delante del SE脩OR.
3 Luego hablar谩s a los hijos de Israel, diciendo: "Tomad un macho cabr铆o para la ofrenda por el pecado, y un becerro y un cordero, ambos de un a帽o, sin defecto, para el holocausto,
4 y un buey y un carnero para las ofrendas de paz, para sacrificar delante del SE脩OR, y una ofrenda de cereal mezclado con aceite; porque hoy se aparecer谩 el SE脩OR a vosotros."
5 Llevaron, pues, al frente de la tienda de reuni贸n lo que Mois茅s hab铆a ordenado, y toda la congregaci贸n se acerc贸 y permaneci贸 de pie delante del SE脩OR.
