Lévitique 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.

Lévitique 9:1 In-Context

1 Le huitième jour, Moïse appela Aaron et ses fils, et les anciens d'Israël.

2 Il dit à Aaron: Prends un jeune veau pour le sacrifice d'expiation, et un bélier pour l'holocauste, l'un et l'autre sans défaut, et sacrifie-les devant l'Eternel.

3 Tu parleras aux enfants d'Israël, et tu diras: Prenez un bouc, pour le sacrifice d'expiation, un veau et un agneau, âgés d'un an et sans défaut, pour l'holocauste;

4 un boeuf et un bélier, pour le sacrifice d'actions de grâces, afin de les sacrifier devant l'Eternel; et une offrande pétrie à l'huile. Car aujourd'hui l'Eternel vous apparaîtra.

5 Ils amenèrent devant la tente d'assignation ce que Moïse avait ordonné; et toute l'assemblée s'approcha, et se tint devant l'Eternel.
