Le 9:1-24.
英文原文
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. 亚伦……走近坛前，宰了作赎罪祭的牛犊——无论是初次被吩咐如此行，还是因祭司工作的分工尚未完全安排妥当而不得不如此，亚伦在儿子们的协助下，似乎亲手宰杀了祭牲，也在坛前行了所规定的一切礼仪。
英文原文
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……摇祭——值得注意的是，祭司为自己所献的祭中并未提及这些。他们不能担当自己的罪；因此，他们不像在百姓的祭物中那样可以吃自己赎罪祭的任何部分，而必须把整个胴体"抬到营外，用火烧尽"[Ex 29:14; Le 4:12]。
英文原文
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. 亚伦举起手……为他们祝福——向聚集在院中的百姓宣告祝福，是大祭司职责中必要的一部分，其祝福的格式已有描述（Nu 6:23-27）。
献完祭下来——祭坛高于地面，登坛之处是一道缓坡（Ex 20:26）。
英文原文
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. 摩西、亚伦进入会幕——摩西照他所受的神圣指示，陪伴亚伦和他的儿子们，引导他们进入圣职。他们先前的事务使他们留在坛前，现在他们一同进入圣所，将祭物的血带进圣所。
耶和华的荣光向众民显现——也许是在会幕上方以灿烂的光辉显现，作为他悦纳那新设立的敬拜之所的全新记号。
英文原文
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. 有火从耶和华面前出来——一道从充满圣所那灿烂光辉中发出的火焰，闪在铜祭坛上，点燃了祭物。这奇迹的火——百姓可能已为它的降临作了预备，而祭司受吩咐永不可使它熄灭（Le 6:13）——不仅标志着祭物蒙悦纳、亚伦的权威得以确立，更标志着神实际住在那拣选的居所之中。那庄严却又令人欢欣的景象一被看见，会众便同时爆发出喜乐与感恩的呼喊，并以最深的敬畏敬拜那"临在的神"。
英文原文
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。
祭司就职。
1-7. 摩西召了……你取一只公牛犊作赎罪祭——由于情形特殊，这些圣事的指示仍由摩西发出。但他不过是向新立的祭司传达神圣旨意的中保。他们首项正式的职事，就是再献一只赎罪祭，以补就职典礼事奉中的不足；然而那祭物并非公牛——那是为某些特定过犯所定的祭物——而是牛犊，或许并非没有暗示亚伦在金牛犊一事上的罪 [Ex 32:22-24]。
随后是燔祭，表明他们甘心并全然将自己奉献于事奉。新近分别为圣的祭司先为自己行了这事，之后又被召为百姓献赎罪祭和燔祭，最后以平安祭——一场圣宴——结束整个礼仪。这"为自己和百姓赎罪"（Septuagint 译作"为你的家族"）的吩咐，在他就任圣职之初即须遵行，有力地证明了犹太人崇拜制度的神圣来源。在一切虚假或败坏的宗教形式中，刻意奉行的策略，都是要让百姓产生一种观念，以为祭司阶层在纯洁和蒙神悦纳上远超其他常人。但在希伯来人中，祭司必须为自己的罪献祭赎罪，正如百姓中最卑微的人一样。然而，亚伦等次祭司职任的这种不完全，并不延伸到福音时代：因为我们的大祭司已经为我们进入了"真会幕"，他"无罪"（Heb 10:10, 11）。
