‏ Leviticus 9:10-20

v. 10-20: Aaron burned the different parts of the sacrifices on the altar, following the exact instructions for each type of offering (Leviticus 9:10-20 a). It is not certain if he used regular fire for these sacrifices or if he prepared them to be burned by the special fire from God that would come later (Leviticus 9:24 b). Some think Aaron burned his own sacrifices with ordinary fire, but waited for God’s fire to burn the people’s offerings.

v. 16-17: Aaron also made the burnt-offering for the people “according to the manner” (Leviticus 9:16 c). He offered this after the morning burnt-offering, which was always given first each day (Leviticus 9:17 d). This teaches us to keep our regular times of worship, even when there are special events.
