Eighth (Sh'mini)
This section is called Sh'mini (Eighth) and it starts with chapter 9.
Leviticus 9:1 (NIV)
On the eighth day Moses summoned Aaron and his sons and the elders of Israel. Here is the rest of chapter 9.
After the seven-day inaugural service(after their hands were filled), on the eighth day, the priests entered the tabernacle to minister. They performed the first sacrificial service of the nation. Moses AND Aaron went into the tabernacle (it was always Moses alone!), and after they came out, Aaron blessed the people. Then the fire from heaven came down and consumed the alter offering!
All the people saw the glory of God.
Chapter 10
Then something happens. Aaron's sons did their own things and God's fire consumed them. The bible says they offered "different fire"(or wrong kind of fire).
The people saw God's fire consuming the sacrifice and saw the glory of God. Then they saw God's fire consuming the priests who offered wrong kind of fire.
Jesus, forgive me if I put my own thinking into action and assume that it is God's will. I am grateful for God's grace who will never give up on us.
