Context of Leviticus 9:3
1Now it happened on the eighth day that Moses called Aaron, his sons, and the elders of Israel. 2Then he said to Aaron, “Take a calf from the herd for a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering, both without blemish, and offer them before Adonai. You are to speak to Bnei-Yisrael, saying: Take a male goat for a sin offering, along with a calf and a lamb, both yearlings without blemish, for a burnt offering, 4plus a bull and a ram for fellowship offerings, to sacrifice before Adonai, along with a grain offering mixed with oil. For today Adonai appears to you.” 5So they brought what Moses commanded before the Tent of Meeting, and the entire congregation drew near and stood before Adonai.

Commentaries on Leviticus 9:3
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 3Take ye a kid - In Leviticus 4:14; a young bullock is commanded to be offered for the sin of the people; but here the offering is a kid, which was the sacrifice appointed for the sin of the ruler, Leviticus 4:22, Leviticus 4:23, and hence some think that the reading of the Samaritan and the Septuagint is to be preferred.

But he was only the medium of communicating the divine will to the newly made priests.
