Le 9:1-24.
THE PRIESTS' ENTRY INTO OFFICE.
1-7. Moses called . . . Take thee a young calf for a sin offering--The directions in these sacred things were still given by Moses, the circumstances being extraordinary. But he was only the medium of communicating the divine will to the newly made priests. The first of their official acts was the sacrifice of another sin offering to atone for the defects of the inauguration services; and yet that sacrifice did not consist of a bullock--the sacrifice appointed for some particular transgression, but of a calf, perhaps not without a significant reference to Aaron's sin in the golden calf
[Ex 32:22-24].
Then followed a burnt offering, expressive of their voluntary and entire self-devotement to the divine service. The newly consecrated priests having done this on their own account, they were called to offer a sin offering and burnt offering for the people, ending the ceremonial by a peace offering, which was a sacred feast. This injunction, "to make atonement for himself and for the people" (Septuagint, "for thy family"), at the commencement of his sacred functions, furnishes a striking evidence of the divine origin of the Jewish system of worship. In all false or corrupt forms of religion, the studied policy has been to inspire the people with an idea of the sanctity of the priesthood as in point of purity and favor with the Divinity far above the level of other men. But among the Hebrews the priests were required to offer for the expiation of their own sins as well as the humblest of the people. This imperfection of Aaron's priesthood, however, does not extend to the gospel dispensation: for our great High Priest, who has entered for us into "the true tabernacle," "knew no sin"
(Heb 10:10, 11).

8. アロンは……祭壇に行って、罪祭の子牛を殺した——それが最初に命じられたのか、あるいは祭司の労働の分担がまだ完全には整えられていなかったため避けられなかったのか、アロンは子たちの助けを借りて、犠牲を自分の手で殺し、祭壇で定められたすべての儀式を行ったようである。
Original em inglês
8. Aaron . . . went unto the altar, and slew the calf of the sin offering--Whether it had been enjoined the first time, or was unavoidable from the divisions of the priestly labor not being as yet completely arranged, Aaron, assisted by his sons, appears to have slain the victims with his own hands, as well as gone through all the prescribed ritual at the altar.

17-21. 素祭……揺祭――祭司が自分自身のためにささげた供え物においてはこれらについての言及がないことが注目される。彼らは自分自身の罪を負うことができなかった。それゆえ、民の供え物の場合には自由にできたのと同じように、自分自身の罪祭の一部を食べる代わりに、全体を「宿営の外に出して火で焼かなければならなかった」
[出 29:14; レビ 4:12]。
Original em inglês
17-21. meat offering . . . wave offering--It is observable that there is no notice taken of these in the offerings the priests made for themselves. They could not bear their own sins: and therefore, instead of eating any part of their own sin offering, as they were at liberty to do in the case of the people's offering, they had to carry the whole carcasses "without the camp and burn them with fire"
[Ex 29:14; Le 4:12].

22. アロンは手を上げ……彼らを祝福した――庭に集まった民の上に祝福を宣べることは、大祭司の務めの必要な一部であり、それが与えられるべき定型は
(民 6:23-27)
に記されている。
ささげ物を終えて降りてきた――祭壇は床面より高く、上りは緩やかな傾斜によった
(出 20:26)。

22. Aaron lifted up his hand . . . and blessed them--The pronouncing of a benediction on the people assembled in the court was a necessary part of the high priest's duty, and the formula in which it was to be given is described
(Nu 6:23-27).
came down from offering--The altar was elevated above the level of the floor, and the ascent was by a gentle slope
(Ex 20:26).

23. モーセとアロンは会見の幕屋に入った――モーセは受けた神の指示に従って、アロンとその子らが聖なる務めに入るのを導くために同行した。彼らの以前の務めは彼らを祭壇に留まらせていたが、彼らは今、供え物の血を聖所の内に携えるために、共に聖なる建物に入った。
主の栄光がすべての民に現れた――おそらく、新しく設けられたその礼拝の座に対する神の受容の新たなしるしとして、幕屋の上に輝かしい光芒の形で。
Original em inglês
23. Moses and Aaron went into the tabernacle--Moses, according to the divine instructions he had received, accompanied Aaron and his sons to initiate them into their sacred duties. Their previous occupations had detained them at the altar, and they now entered in company into the sacred edifice to bear the blood of the offerings within the sanctuary.
the glory of the Lord appeared unto all the people--perhaps in a resplendent effulgence above the tabernacle as a fresh token of the divine acceptance of that newly established seat of His worship.

24. 主のところから火が出てきた――聖所を満たしていた輝かしい光から出た炎が青銅の祭壇の上に閃き、いけにえに火をつけた。この奇跡的な火――民はおそらくその降下のために準備されており、祭司たちはそれを決して消してはならないと命じられていた
(レビ 6:13)
――は、供え物の受容とアロンの権威の確立だけでなく、神がその選ばれた住まいに実際に住んでおられることのしるしであった。荘厳だが歓迎すべきその光景が見られた瞬間、集まった会衆から喜びと感謝の同時の歓呼が爆発し、彼らは最も深い畏れの姿勢で「います神」を礼拝した。
Original em inglês
24. there came a fire out from . . . the Lord--A flame emanating from that resplendent light that filled the holy place flashed upon the brazen altar and kindled the sacrifices. This miraculous fire--for the descent of which the people had probably been prepared, and which the priests were enjoined never to let go out
(Le 6:13)
--was a sign, not only of the acceptance of the offerings and of the establishment of Aaron's authority, but of God's actual residence in that chosen dwelling-place. The moment the solemn though welcome spectacle was seen, a simultaneous shout of joy and gratitude burst from the assembled congregation, and in the attitude of profoundest reverence they worshipped "a present Deity."
Le 9:1-24.
祭司の就任
1-7. モーセは……呼び……あなたの子牛を一頭、罪祭として取れ——これらの聖なる事柄における指示は、状況が特別であったため、依然としてモーセによって与えられた。しかし彼は、新たに立てられた祭司に神のみこころを伝える器にすぎなかった。彼らの公式の務めの第一は、就任の儀式の欠陥を贖うためにもう一つの罪祭をささげることであった。しかしそのいけにえは、ある特定の罪過のために定められた雄牛ではなく、子牛であった。これはおそらく、金の子牛に関するアロンの罪を意味深長に指し示している
[出32:22-24]。
次いで燔祭が続いた。これは、彼らが神への奉仕に自発的かつ全き自己献身を表すものであった。新たに聖別された祭司が自分自身のためにこれを行ったのち、彼らは民のために罪祭と燔祭をささげるように召され、儀式は聖なる祝宴である和解祭をもって終わった。「自分と民のために贖いをしなさい」（七十人訳、「あなたの家族のために」と読む）という、彼の聖なる務めの始まりにおけるこの命令は、ユダヤ人の礼拝制度が神に由来することの力強い証拠となる。すべての偽りあるいは腐敗した宗教形態において、意図的な政策は、祭司の聖性が純潔と神からの寵きにおいて他の人々の水準をはるかに超えているという観念を民に植え付けることであった。しかしヘブル人の間では、民の最も卑しい者と同様に、祭司も自分自身の罪の贖いのためにささげることが求められた。しかしこのアロンの祭司職の不完全さは、福音の時代には及ばない。なぜなら、われわれのために「真の幕屋」に入られたわれわれの大祭司は「罪を知らなかった」からである
(へぶ10:10, 11)。
