Bible Verse Review

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

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."
