CHAP. Ex.
Moſes commands Aaron to offer a ſn-offering, and burnt-offering, and peace and meat-offering ; the congregation drawing near, and ſo the glory of the Lord ſhould appear to them, to make atonement for himſelf and the people,
Aaron's offering for himſelf, 8— 14. For the people, 15-21.
whom he bleſſes, firſt by prayer to God, and then by ſolemn declaration to
them ; the glory of God appears ; fire from heaven conſumes the ſacrifice ; the people ſhout and are amazed, 22--=-=24.
A ND it came to paſs on the eighth day a, that
Moſes called Aaron and his ſons, and the elders of Ifrael 6.
s To wit, from the firſt day of his Conſecration, or when the ſeven days of his Conſecratien were ended, chap: 8:33, 35. as appears from Exod, 29: 30, &c. Exek: 43: 27. The eighth day is famous in Scripture for the perfe&ing and purifying both of Men and Beafts. See Levit: 12: 2, 3: and 14: 8, 9, 10: and 15; 13, 14:and 22: 27. þ All the Congregation were called to be Witneſſes of Aaron's Inſtalmenr in'o his Office, to prevent their murmurings and contempr, which beingdone, the Elders were now ſufficient to be Witnefles of Aaron's firſt execution of his Office.
2 And he ſaid unto Aaron, * Take thee a young calf c for a ſin-effering d, and a ram for a burnt-oftering without blemiſh, and offer them: before the LORD.
