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 Y fue en el día octavo, que Moisés llamó a Aarón y a sus hijos, y a los ancianos de Israel;

2 y dijo a Aarón: Toma un becerro para expiación, y un carnero para holocausto, sin defecto, y ofrécelos delante del SEÑOR.

3 Y a los hijos de Israel hablarás, diciendo: Tomad un macho cabrío para expiación, y un becerro y un cordero de un año, sin tacha, para holocausto;

4 asimismo un buey y un carnero para sacrificio de paz, que inmoléis delante del SEÑOR; y un presente amasado en aceite; porque el SEÑOR se aparecerá hoy a vosotros.

5 Y llevaron lo que mandó Moisés delante del tabernáculo del testimonio, y vino toda la congregación, y se pusieron delante del SEÑOR.
