leviticus 9

Summary
Describes the inaugural offerings made by Aaron and his sons as newly consecrated priests, and the manifestation of God's glory to the Israelites.

Key Points
- On the eighth day, Moses instructs Aaron and his sons to offer specific sacrifices, including a sin offering, burnt offering, peace offering, and grain offering, to make atonement for themselves and the people (Leviticus 9:1-4).
- Aaron offers the sin offering and burnt offering for himself, following the procedures given by Moses (Leviticus 9:7-14).
- Aaron then offers the sacrifices for the people, including the sin offering, burnt offering, and peace offerings, according to the instructions (Leviticus 9:15-21).
- Aaron lifts his hands and blesses the people after completing the offerings, and Moses and Aaron enter the Tent of Meeting (Leviticus 9:22-23).
- The glory of the Lord appears to all the people, and fire comes out from the presence of the Lord to consume the burnt offering and fat on the altar, causing the people to shout and fall on their faces (Leviticus 9:23-24).
