Leviticus 9:5 - Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible

Bible Comments

‘And they brought what Moses commanded before the tent of meeting, and all the congregation drew near and stood before Yahweh.'

The priests and the elders brought to Moses in front of the tent of meeting all that he had commanded. Then all Israel gathered and ‘stood before Yahweh'. That is they stood, rank after rank, looking towards the door of the tent of meeting behind which was the Sanctuary which included the earthly resting place of Yahweh as King (compare Isaiah 6:1). Here for the first time would their new Representative make these offerings on their behalf, an assurance of God's provision for the future if they remained faithful to His covenant.

Leviticus 9:5

5 And they brought that which Moses commanded before the tabernacle of the congregation: and all the congregation drew near and stood before the LORD.
