Leviticus 9:6 Summary

[This verse is saying that when we obey God's commands, we get to see His glory, which is a really amazing thing. It's like when we follow a recipe to make a cake, and it turns out delicious, we feel happy and proud of what we made. God feels happy and proud of us when we obey Him, and He shows us His glory, which is like a big, shining light that fills our hearts with joy and peace, as described in Psalm 16:11. By obeying God's commands, we can experience His presence and glory in our lives, just like the Israelites did in the wilderness, as seen in Exodus 24:17.]

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the significance of Moses saying 'This is what the LORD has commanded you to do' in Leviticus 9:6?

What can we learn from Moses' role in mediating between God and the Israelites in this verse?

Moses' role as a mediator points forward to Jesus Christ, who is our ultimate Mediator between God and humanity, as seen in 1 Timothy 2:5, where it is written that there is one God and one Mediator between God and humanity, the man Christ Jesus.
