Aaron did not act according to the ordinary Law Lev 4:5-7<\/span>, Lev 4:16-18<\/span>, but as Moses had done in the sin-offering of the consecration ceremony (Lev 8:15<\/span>; compare also Lev 4:25<\/span>, Lev 4:30<\/span>, Lev 4:34<\/span>). The probable reason of this was that he had not yet been formally introduced as the high priest into the holy place of the tabernacle.<\/P> Brought the blood – <\/B>They most likely held the basons in which the blood was received as it ran from the victim, and then handed them to their father. See Lev 1:5<\/span>.<\/P> <\/p>\n Upon the horns of the altar, <\/B>to wit, of burnt-offerings, of which alone he speaks both in the foregoing and following words; and the blood was poured out at the bottom of this altar only, not of the altar of incense, as appears from Lev 4:7<\/span>, where indeed there is mention of putting some of the blood upon the horns of the altar of incense, in this case of the priests sacrificing for his own sins. But there seems to be a double difference: <\/P> 1. That sacrifice was offered for some particular sin, this for his sins indefinitely. <\/P> 2. There he is supposed to be complete in his office, and here he is but entering into his office, and therefore must prepare and sanctify himself by this offering upon the brazen altar in the court, before he can be admitted into the holy place where the altar of incense was. And the like is to be said for the difference between the sin-offering for the people here, and Lev 4:17<\/span>,18<\/span>. <\/P> <\/p>\n And the sons of Aaron brought the blood unto him<\/strong>,…. The blood of the calf of the sin offering, which they had received in a basin when it was slain:<\/p>\n and he dipped his finger in the blood, and put [it] upon the horns of the altar<\/strong>; the four horns of it, as Moses had done at his consecration, which was an example to him, Le 8:15<\/span>. This was typical of the blood of Christ, to which persons may have recourse from the four quarters of the world for atonement and pardon:<\/p>\n and poured out the blood at the bottom of the altar<\/strong>; what remained after he had put what was proper on the horns of it.<\/p>\n (9) And the sons of Aaron brought the blood.<\/strong>His sons, for whom the sacrifice was offered as well as for himself, and who assisted at the ritual, after catching the blood in a bowl (see Lev. 1:5<\/span>), brought it to Aaron, who stood at the altar waiting to receive it. Unlike the ordinary law of the sin offering for the high priest and for the people, the blood of which was taken into the tabernacle (see Lev. 4:7<\/span>; Lev. 4:16-18<\/span>), Aaron on this occasion simply put some of it upon the four horns of the brazen altar as Moses had done in the sin offering of consecration (see Lev. 8:15<\/span>), for, though high priest, he had not as yet access to the holy place of the sanctuary till he had qualified himself by this sacrifice in the court-yard.<\/p>\n 9<\/strong>. <\/strong> The blood <\/strong> See Introduction, (6,) and Lev 7:2<\/span>, note. <\/p>\n Upon the horns of the altar <\/strong> See Lev 4:7<\/span>, note.<\/p>\n ‘And the sons of Aaron presented the blood to him, and he dipped his finger in the blood, and put it on the horns of the altar, and poured out the blood at the base of the altar, but the fat, and the kidneys, and the covering from the liver of the purification for sin offering, he burnt on the altar, as Yahweh commanded Moses.’ <\/p>\n Then he switched roles, for he moved to the altar ready to receive the necessary parts of the sacrifice from his sons who had meanwhile been acting as priests. His sons, who had caught the blood in a vessel when Aaron slew the calf, then brought the blood to Aaron, who dipped his finger in the blood and applied it to the horns of the altar to purify the altar which would offer up his purification for sin offering. <\/p>\n Normally in the case of a purification for sin offering for a priest the blood was to be taken within the Holy Place and sprinkled before the veil, and be applied to the horns on the altar of incense (Lev 4:6-7<\/span>). But as yet no one apart from Moses had entered the Holy Place, and he had not defiled it by specific sin. Therefore no purification was needed there. All that had had contact with Aaron was in the courtyard, and the most holy of these was the altar. The blood was therefore applied to the horns of the altar. <\/p>\n Then the blood was applied to the base, and the fat and vital parts were burned on the altar, just as Yahweh had commanded Moses. This is the last reference to Moses’ obedience to God’s commands, an idea which has been repeated again and again in order to emphasise his obedience (see Lev 8:4-5<\/span>; Lev 8:9<\/span>; Lev 8:13<\/span>; Lev 8:17<\/span>; Lev 8:21<\/span>; Lev 8:29<\/span>; Lev 8:34<\/span>; Lev 8:36<\/span>; Lev 9:6-7<\/span>; Lev 9:10<\/span>). All that was done was done at God’s command, and Moses obeyed implicitly and without question. But from now on obedience is in the hand of Aaron and his sons. Moses was no longer involved. Sadly it would not last for long, and a terrible lesson would have to be learned, that God’s ordinances must not be interfered with. <\/p>\n The fact that the phrase ceases here demonstrates that it was the writer’s intention to bring home the obedience of Moses. Had it just been a stereotyped phrase it would have continued. He wants us to know that Moses had done in all this exactly as God had commanded. <\/p>\n The same observation meets us here. Though the people brought their offerings, yet it must be Aaron to present them. How sweetly doth it teach us, that it is JESUS, our almighty Aaron, that carrieth in the poor offerings of his people, sanctified by his oblation, his blood, and righteousness? Rev 8:3-4<\/span> . And was not Job a type of JESUS to the same effect, when he prayed for his friends, and GOD declared that he would accept Job for them? Job 42:8<\/span> .<\/p>\n Lev 4:6, Lev 4:7, Lev 4:17, Lev 4:18, Lev 4:25, Lev 4:30, Lev 8:15, Lev 16:18, Heb 2:10, Heb 9:22, Heb 9:23, Heb 10:4-19 <\/p>\n Reciprocal: Exo 29:12 – the blood Lev 3:5 – Aaron’s Eze 43:15 – four horns Eze 43:20 – take Heb 9:21 – General Heb 13:11 – the bodies<\/p>\n Lev 9:9.
