Leviticus 9

“So Aaron came to the altar and slaughtered the calf as a sin offering for himself…Aaron then brought the offering that was for the people…Then Aaron lifted his hands toward the people and blessed them.  And having sacrificed the sin offering, the burnt offering, and the fellowship offering, he stepped down.”  vv.8,15,22

Read chapter 9.

Now we see the offerings commanded put into practice by the high priest.  This was the first priestly benediction done by Aaron and one that was continued through the priest's ministry on the altar.  Lifting up the hands was a usual rite of blessing and one we still see done today by ministers in all denominations.

First Aaron offers the sin offering for himself and the offerings for the people. So to we must deal with our own sin first before others, but also that we are to help others in their sin.  The last offering Aaron did that day after the sin and burnt offering is the fellowship offering, dealing with his sins, others sins and then the joy of communion with God and others.  What step in dealing with your sins, other's sins and fellowship are you lacking in?
