Commentary for Leviticus 9:6
Leviticus 9:6 is part of the narrative where Moses and Aaron are instructing the Israelites on how to perform their first sacrifices after the construction of the Tabernacle. The verse is set in the context of the Israelites' journey through the wilderness after their exodus from Egypt. The book of Leviticus is primarily concerned with laws and rituals, particularly those related to worship, sacrifice, and holiness.
**Themes:**
1. **Divine Commandment:** The verse emphasizes that the instructions for the sacrifices come directly from God, highlighting the importance of obedience to God's commandments in Israelite religious life.
2. **Sacrificial System:** Leviticus details the various offerings and sacrifices that were to be made to atone for sin, consecrate priests, and bring the people into fellowship with God.
3. **Theophany:** The promise that "the glory of the LORD shall appear unto you" points to the theme of theophany—the visible manifestation of God to humans. This anticipates the climactic moment when God's presence would fill the Tabernacle, validating the priesthood and the sacrificial system.
4. **Holiness:** The rituals described in Leviticus, including those in chapter 9, are designed to maintain the holiness of the people and the sanctuary, setting Israel apart as a holy nation before God.
**Historical Context:**
The events of Leviticus occur during the Israelites' wandering in the wilderness, after the establishment of the covenant at Mount Sinai. The Tabernacle, a portable sanctuary, has just been completed according to God's instructions, and Leviticus outlines how the priests (Aaron and his sons) and the people are to approach God through worship and sacrifice.
Leviticus 9:6 specifically occurs after the ordination of Aaron and his sons as priests. Moses is instructing them to perform the sacrifices exactly as God commanded, assuring them that if they do so correctly, they will witness God's glory, which is a sign of His presence and approval. This moment is crucial as it marks the beginning of regular worship and sacrifice in the Tabernacle, which would continue throughout the Israelites' journey to the Promised Land and beyond.
