Levitico 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.

Levitico 9:1 In-Context

1 E L’OTTAVO giorno appresso, Mosè chiamò Aaronne e i suoi figliuoli, e gli Anziani d’Israele.

2 E disse ad Aaronne: Prenditi un vitello per sacrificio per lo peccato, e un montone per olocausto; amendue senza difetto; e presentali davanti al Signore.

3 E parla a’ figliuoli d’Israele, dicendo; Prendete un becco per sacrificio per lo peccato, e un vitello, e un agnello, amendue di un anno, senza difetto, per olocausto;

4 e un bue, e un montone, per sacrificio da render grazie, per sacrificarli davanti al Signore; e una offerta di panatica intrisa con olio; perchè oggi il Signore vi apparirà.

5 Essi adunque presero le cose che Mosè avea comandate, e le addussero davanti al Tabernacolo della convenenza; e tutta la raunanza si accostò, e stette in piè davanti al Signore.
