Leviticus 9:16
“He presented the burnt offering, and offered it according to the ordinance.”
What does Leviticus 9:16 mean?
Aaron follows the prescribed ritual carefully, completing the burnt offering in the exact way God had commanded. This moment comes after Aaron has been consecrated as high priest, and getting the details right matters profoundly, both as obedience and as a sign that he's taking his sacred role seriously. When we're in seasons of uncertainty or grief, there's often something steadying about returning to what we know is true, what's been established, what we can count on, and that's part of what's happening here too.
