Leviticus 9 describes the inauguration of the tabernacle and the ordination of Aaron and his children as priests. Animal sacrifices and offers were made to the Lord, and God sent fire from heaven to consume the Holocaust. Below are five verses related to the topics covered in Leviticus 9.
Exodus 29:44: "And I will sanctify the tent of the congregation, and the altar; I will also sanctify Aaron and his children to manage the priesthood." This verse talks about the sanctification of the congregation, the altar and the priests, which is similar to what happens in Leviticus 9.
Leviticus 8:33: "And you will not leave the door of the congregation tent for seven days until the day the days of your consecration are fulfilled; for for seven days you will consecrate you the Lord." This verse refers to the period of consecration that priests needed to pass before starting their service, which happens in Leviticus 9.
Leviticus 1:9: "But your freshness and your legs will wash with water; and the priest will burn everything on the altar, on a burnt offering is, smelling smooth to the Lord." This verse refers to the offer of holocaust, a kind of sacrifice that is made in Leviticus 9.
Leviticus 4:20: "Thus the priest will do atonement for them, and will be forgiven them." This verse talks about atonement, an important theme in Leviticus 9, where sacrifices were made to purify the people of their sins.
Numbers 6:23: "Speak to Aaron and his children, saying, Thus shall you bless the children of Israel, saying to them," This verse speaks about the blessing that Aaron and his children should give the people of Israel, which is relevant In Leviticus 9, where they become priests and spiritual leaders of the nation.
