Context of Leviticus 9:7

5And they brought that which Moses commanded before the tabernacle of the congregation: and all the congregation drew near and stood before Yhwh. 6And Moses said, This is the thing which Yhwh commanded that ye should do: and the glory of Yhwh shall appear unto you. And Moses said unto Aaron, Go unto the altar, and offer thy sin offering, and thy burnt offering, and make an atonement for thyself, and for the people: and offer the offering of the people, and make an atonement for them; as Yhwh commanded. 8Aaron therefore went unto the altar, and slew the calf of the sin offering, which was for himself. 9And the sons of Aaron brought the blood unto him: and he dipped his finger in the blood, and put it upon the horns of the altar, and poured out the blood at the bottom of the altar:

Commentaries on Leviticus 9:7

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 7Make an atonement for thyself - This showed the imperfection of the Levitical law; the high priest was obliged to make an expiation for his own sins before he could make one for the sins of the people. See the use made of this by the apostle, Hebrews 5:3; Hebrews 7:27; Hebrews 9:7.Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 7It is to be remarked that Aaron offers no peace-offering for himself.
