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 L’ottavo giorno, Mosè chiamò Aaronne, i suoi figliuoli e gli anziani d’Israele,

2 e disse ad Aaronne: "Prendi un giovine vitello per un sacrifizio per il peccato, e un montone per un olocausto: ambedue senza difetto, e offrili all’Eterno.

3 E dirai così ai figliuoli d’Israele: Prendete un capro per un sacrifizio per il peccato, e un vitello e un agnello, ambedue d’un anno, senza difetto, per un olocausto;

4 e un bue e un montone per un sacrifizio di azioni di grazie, per sacrificarli davanti all’Eterno; e un’oblazione intrisa con olio; perché oggi l’Eterno vi apparirà".

5 Essi dunque menarono davanti alla tenda di convegno le cose che Mosè aveva ordinate; e tutta la raunanza si accostò, e si tenne in piè davanti all’Eterno.
