Week 47, Day 3: The Priest begin serving
Today’s Reading: Leviticus 8:1 – 9:24
Some thoughts from the reading..
In these chapters we have the beginning of the service of Aaron and his sons as priest in the tabernacle. Moses is instructed to serve in the role of “presiding” over things. There is a process of sacrifices through which Aaron and his sons are consecrated for their service as priests. This is a great moment for Israel. They will now be able to begin offering sacrifices in order to obtain forgiveness of their sins. How important this step was for them. Once again God has provided a way for man to obtain forgiveness and to be able to worship Him.
Question: Why did Aaron and his sons present their offering first (9:7) before presenting the people’s offering (9:15)?
