Leviticus 8:36 Summary
This verse shows us that Aaron and his sons were careful to do everything God told them to do through Moses, which is an important example for us to follow, as we are taught in John 14:15. Just like Aaron and his sons, we need to listen to God's instructions and obey them, even if it's hard, because this is how we show our love and respect for Him, as we see in 1 John 5:3. By following God's commands, we can live a life that is pleasing to Him and experience His blessing and guidance, as promised in Jeremiah 29:11. As we strive to obey God, we can trust that He will give us the strength and wisdom we need, just as He promised in Isaiah 41:10.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean for Aaron and his sons to do everything the LORD had commanded through Moses?
This means that Aaron and his sons were obedient to God's instructions, which were given to them through Moses, just as God instructed Moses in Exodus 40:16, and this obedience was crucial for their role as priests in the newly established tabernacle.
Why was it important for Aaron and his sons to follow the LORD's commands?
Following God's commands was essential for Aaron and his sons because it ensured their safety and the success of their priestly duties, as God had warned them in Leviticus 8:35, and it also demonstrated their faith and trust in God's plan, as seen in Deuteronomy 13:4.
How does this verse relate to our lives today?
This verse reminds us of the importance of obedience to God's commands, just as we are instructed in 1 Samuel 15:22, and it encourages us to seek God's guidance and follow His instructions, as we are taught in Proverbs 3:5-6, in order to live a life that is pleasing to Him.
What can we learn from Aaron and his sons' example of obedience?
We can learn the value of humility, trust, and surrender to God's will, as seen in Psalm 37:7, and the importance of seeking God's guidance and following His instructions, even when it's challenging or difficult, as we are encouraged in Hebrews 11:6.
Reflection Questions
- What are some areas in my life where I need to be more obedient to God's commands, and how can I take steps to align myself with His will?
- How can I cultivate a deeper trust in God's plan and guidance, even when I don't understand the reasons behind His instructions, as we see in Isaiah 55:8-9?
- What are some ways I can demonstrate my obedience to God in my daily life, such as in my relationships, work, or personal habits, and how can I use these opportunities to glorify Him, as we are taught in Colossians 3:23-24?
- How can I balance the need for obedience with the need for faith and trust in God's sovereignty, as seen in Romans 8:28, and what role does prayer play in this process, as we see in Philippians 4:6-7?
Gill's Exposition on Leviticus 8:36
So Aaron and his sons did all things which the Lord commanded by the hand of Moses.
Trapp's Commentary on Leviticus 8:36
Leviticus 8:36 So Aaron and his sons did all things which the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses. Ver. 36. No note on this verse CHAPTER IX.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Leviticus 8:36
Verse 36. So Aaron and his sons did] This chapter shows the exact fulfillment of the commands delivered to Moses, Ex xxix.; and consequently the complete preparation of Aaron and his sons to fill the awfully important office of priests and mediators between God and Israel, to offer sacrifices and make atonement for the sins of the people. "Thus," says Mr. Ainsworth, "the covenant of the priesthood was confirmed unto the tribe of Levi in Aaron and his sons, which covenant was life and peace, Malachi 2:5. But these are made priests without an oath; also, there were many priests, because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death; and they served unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, offering gifts and sacrifices which could not make him who did the service perfect as pertaining to the conscience; for they were carnal ordinances imposed upon them till the time of reformation, that is, until the time of Christ, who was made a priest of God with an oath, and made surety of a better covenant established on better promises. And because he continueth for ever, he hath a priesthood which passeth not from one to another, and is a minister of the true tabernacle, which God pitched and not man. Not by the blood of bulls and of goats, but by his own blood, he entered once into the holy place, having found everlasting redemption for us; and is therefore able to save to the uttermost them who come unto God through him, as he ever liveth to make intercession for them." Taken in reference to his priesthood and sacrifice, all these rites and ceremonies are significant and edifying, but taken out of his relation, they would be as absurd and nugatory as the consecration of the Roman Pontifex Maximus, mentioned above by Prudentius.
Cambridge Bible on Leviticus 8:36
(iii) The ram of consecration (22–36), cp. Exodus 29:19-26 The last sacrifice is that of the ram of consecration. As some portions are consumed by the offerers (Leviticus 8:31) it resembles the Peace-Offerings, but special rites are added, indicating the character and duties of the priestly office. The blood of the ram is applied to the ear, hand, and foot of Aaron and his sons. The ear attentive to the commands of God, the hand ready to do His will, the foot prepared to walk in His ways are thus signified. The blood is also thrown (as enjoined in Leviticus 3:2) against the altar round about. In Leviticus 8:23-24 the blood is put first on Aaron and afterwards on his sons; cp. Exodus 29:20, where a separate bringing near of the sons is not enjoined.
