Leviticus 9 · Grade 4
When the Glory Appeared
Read and Think
Leviticus 9 is the first day of Aaron's work as high priest. Everything had been prepared: the tabernacle, the priests, and the offerings. Moses told the people that if they did what God commanded, Yahweh's glory would appear to them.
Aaron offered a sin offering and a burnt offering for himself, then the offerings for the people: a sin offering, a burnt offering, grain offerings, and peace offerings. He did everything just as God had said. Then Aaron lifted his hands toward the people and blessed them.
When Moses and Aaron came out of the Tent of Meeting, Yahweh's glory appeared to all the people. Fire came from God and consumed the offering on the altar. The people shouted for joy and fell on their faces in worship. God had accepted their offering and shown He was with them.
