Clarke's Leviticus 9:1 Bible Commentary
On the eighth day - This was the first day after their consecration, before which they were deemed unfit to minister in holy things, being considered as in a state of imperfection. "All creatures," says Ainsworth, "for the most part were in their uncleanness and imperfection seven days, and perfected on the eighth; as children by circumcision, Leviticus 12:2, Leviticus 12:3; young beasts for sacrifice, Leviticus 22:27; persons that were unclean by leprosies, issues, and the like, Leviticus 14:8-10; Leviticus 15:13, Leviticus 15:14; Numbers 6:9, Numbers 6:10. So here, the priests, until the eighth day, were not admitted to minister in their office."
Barnes's Leviticus 9:1 Bible Commentary
Leviticus 9:1
On the eighth day - i. e., on the first day after the week of consecration.
Wesley's Leviticus 9:1 Bible Commentary
9:1 On the eighth day — Namely, from the day of his consecration, or when the seven days of his consecration were ended. The eighth day is famous in scripture for the perfecting and purifying both of men and beasts. See Leviticus 12:2; 3; 15:13,14; 22:27.
And the elders of Israel — All the congregation were called to be witnesses of Aaron's installment into his office, to prevent their murmurings and contempt; which being done, the elders were now sufficient to be witnesses of his first execution of his office.
