Leviticus 9:1-24


Hello and Welcome...Today we read through Leviticus 9:1-24.

Aaron Offers Sacrifices

1Now it came about on the eighth day that Moses called Aaron and his sons and the elders of Israel;
2and he said to Aaron, "Take for yourself a calf, a bull, for a sin offering and a ram for a burnt offering, both without defect, and offer them before the LORD.

6Moses said, "This is the thing which the LORD has commanded you to do, that the glory of the LORD may appear to you."

Moses told Aaron that if he did as the Lord had commanded them...

7Moses then said to Aaron, "Come near to the altar and offer your sin offering and your burnt offering, that you may make atonement for yourself and for the people; then make the offering for the people, that you may make atonement for them, just as the LORD has commanded."
8So Aaron came near to the altar and slaughtered the calf of the sin offering which was for himself.

He also did the offerings for the people...


22Then Aaron lifted up his hands toward the people and blessed them, and he stepped down after making the sin offering and the burnt offering and the peace offerings.

23Moses and Aaron went into the tent of meeting. When they came out and blessed the people, the glory of the LORD appeared to all the people.

24Then fire came out from before the LORD and consumed the burnt offering and the portions of fat on the altar; and when all the people saw it, they shouted and fell on their faces.

~They did as the Lord commanded them and they were overcome by the glory of the LORD!

How about that...WOW!
