In the context of Leviticus, this day follows the seven days of ordination for Aaron and his sons, marking the commencement of their priestly duties. Theologically, the eighth day can be seen as a foreshadowing of the resurrection of Christ, which occurred on the first day of the week, symbolizing a new creation and covenant.<p><b>Moses summoned</b><br />The act of Moses summoning Aaron and his sons highlights his role as a mediator between God and the people of Israel. Moses, as a prophet and leader, acts under divine instruction, emphasizing the importance of obedience to God's commands. This summoning is not merely a call to gather but an invitation to step into their God-ordained roles, underscoring the theme of divine appointment and service.<p><b>Aaron and his sons</b><br />Aaron and his sons represent the priesthood, a divinely chosen lineage tasked with mediating between God and Israel. Their role is crucial in maintaining the covenant relationship through sacrifices and offerings. Historically, the priesthood is a precursor to the ultimate High Priest, Jesus Christ, who fulfills and perfects the priestly functions through His sacrifice.<p><b>and the elders of Israel</b><br />The inclusion of the elders signifies the communal aspect of Israel's worship and governance. The elders, as representatives of the tribes, ensure that the priestly actions are witnessed and validated by the community. This gathering underscores the collective responsibility and unity of the nation in upholding the covenant with God.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/leviticus/9.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>IX.</span><p>(1) <span class= "bld">And it came to pass on the eighth day.</span>--That is, the day following the seven days of consecration.

Like newly-born children who remain seven days in a state of uncleanness and enter into the covenant privileges of the congregation on the eighth day (see <a href="/context/leviticus/12-2.htm" title="Speak to the children of Israel, saying, If a woman have conceived seed, and born a man child: then she shall be unclean seven days; according to the days of the separation for her infirmity shall she be unclean.">Leviticus 12:2-3</a>), so the newly-created priests after a purging of seven days commenced their sacred duties and partook of their privileges on this symbolical day.<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/leviticus/9.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verses 1-6.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">On the eighth day.</span> The seven days of consecration being now over, Aaron for the first time offers a sin offering and burnt offering for himself, and a sin offering, a burnt offering, a peace offering, and a meat offering for the congregation. He is still instructed by Moses as to what he is to do, but it is through him that the command is given to the people to present their offerings, and it is he that slays the victims and offers their blood. His own sin offering is a <span class="cmt_word">young calf</span>, or young bull calf, whereas the sin offering commanded for the high priest on ordinary occasions was a young bull, further advanced in age (<a href="/leviticus/4-3.htm">Leviticus 4:3</a>); and in presenting the blood he does not take it into the sanctuary according to the regulations in chapter Leviticus 4:6, but uses it as Moses had done in the sin offerings of the previous week, the purpose of the difference being to show that Aaron's full dignity had not yet devolved upon him. This did not take place until he had gone into the tabernacle with Moses (verse 23). <span class="cmt_word">A ram</span> is again taken for the burnt offering, as had been the case in Moses' sacrifice of the previous week. The children of Israel now present a kid, the offering generally made by a prince, that for the congregation being a young bull. In the words <span class="cmt_word">for today the Lord will appear unto you</span>, Moses promises the Divine appearance afterwards vouchsafed (verse 23). <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/leviticus/9-1.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">On the eighth</span><br /><span class="heb">הַשְּׁמִינִ֔י</span> <span class="translit">(haš·šə·mî·nî)</span><br /><span class="parse">Article | Number -
