Contextual Overview

1 And in the eight day Moses called Aaron and his sonnes, and the Elders of Israel: 2 Then hee sayde vnto Aaron, Take thee a yong calfe for a sinne offring, and a ram for a burnt offring, both without blemish, and bring them before the Lord. 3 And vnto the children of Israel thou shalt speake, saying, Take yee an hee goate for a sinne offring, and a calfe, and a lambe, both of a yeere olde, without blemish for a burnt offring: 4 Also a bullock, and a ramme for peace offringes, to offer before the Lorde, and a meate offring mingled with oyle: for to day the Lorde will appeare vnto you. 5 Then they brought that which Moses commanded before the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and all the assembly drewe neere and stood before the Lord. 6 (For Moses had sayde, This is the thing, which the Lord commaunded that ye should do, and the glory of the Lord shal appeare vnto you) 7 Then Moses sayd vnto Aaron, Draw neere to the Altar, and offer thy sinne offering, and thy burnt offring, and make an attonement for thee and for the people: offer also the offring of the people, and make an atonement for them, as the Lord hath commaunded.

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

the eighth day: Not on the eighth day of the month, but on the first day after their consecration, which occupied seven days, and before which they were deemed unfit to minister in holy things, being considered in a state of imperfection. All creatures, for the most part, were considered as in a state of uncleanness and imperfection, seven days, and perfected on the eighth. - See note on Leviticus 12:2, Leviticus 12:3, Leviticus 14:8-10, Leviticus 15:13, Leviticus 15:14, Leviticus 22:27, Numbers 6:9, Numbers 6:10.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

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.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Leviticus 9:2

A young calf - A bull calf, which might have been what we should call a yearling ox.

A kid of the goats - A shaggy he-goat. See Leviticus 4:23 note.

The glory of the Lord - Compare Exodus 16:7.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER IX

Aaron is commanded to offer, on the eighth day, a sin-offering

and a burnt-offering, 1, 2.

The people are commanded also to offer a sin-offering, a

burnt-offering, peace-offerings, and a meat-offering, 3, 4.

They do as they were commanded; and Moses promises that God

shall appear among them, 5, 6.

Aaron is commanded to make an atonement for the people, 7.

He and his sons prepare and offer the different sacrifices, 8-21.

Aaron and Moses bless the congregation, 22, 23.

And the fire of the Lord consumes the sacrifice, 24.

NOTES ON CHAP. IX

Verse Leviticus 9:1. On the eighth day — This was the first day after their consecration, before which they were deemed unfit to minister in holy things, being considered as in a state of imperfection. "All creatures," says Ainsworth, "for the most part were in their uncleanness and imperfection seven days, and perfected on the eighth; as children by circumcision, Leviticus 12:2-3; young beasts for sacrifice, Leviticus 22:27; persons that were unclean by leprosies, issues, and the like, Leviticus 14:8-10; Leviticus 15:13-14; Numbers 6:9-10. So here, the priests, until the eighth day, were not admitted to minister in their office."
