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 Al octavo día Moisés llamó a Aarón y a sus hijos, y a los ancianos de Israel.

2 A Aarón le dijo: «Toma un becerro para el sacrificio expiatorio y un carnero para el holocausto, ambos sin defecto, y preséntaselos al SEÑOR.

3 Diles después a los israelitas: “Traigan un macho cabrío para el sacrificio expiatorio, y un becerro y un cordero para el holocausto, ambos de un año y sin defecto.

4 Traigan también un toro y un carnero para ofrecérselos al SEÑOR como sacrificio de comunión; y traigan una ofrenda de cereal amasada con aceite. El SEÑOR se manifestará hoy ante ustedes”».

5 Los israelitas llevaron hasta la Tienda de reunión lo que Moisés había mandado; y toda la comunidad se acercó y se quedó de pie ante el SEÑOR.
