Lev. 9:1–24 Now that Aaron and his sons have been ordained, ch. 9 describes the first tabernacle service. Various offerings are required, because both the priests and the people are sinful. God delivered his covenant to his people at Sinai; now he descends upon his altar to dwell with them.
Lev. 9:1–4 The daily sacrifices in the tabernacle begin.
Lev. 9:5–6 The purpose of this service is for the glory of the Lord to be shown both to the people and to the priests. See note on Ex. 16:7; compare Ex. 40:34–35.
Lev. 9:7–21 First comes the atonement for the priests (vv. 7–14), and then for the people (vv. 15–21). As in other ceremonies, the atonement process moves from the removal of sinfulness (by the sin offering), to petitions and praises (the burnt offering), and finally to communion with the Lord (the peace offering).
Lev. 9:22–24 Moses and Aaron together enter the tent. This means that the priests (represented by Aaron) will now mediate between the Lord and the people, instead of Moses.
