Context of Leviticus 9:7
5So they brought what Moses commanded before the Tent of Meeting, and the entire congregation drew near and stood before Adonai. 6Moses said, “This is what Adonai commanded that you should do, so that the glory of Adonai may appear to you.” Moses said to Aaron, “Draw near to the altar, and bring your sin offering, and your burnt offering, and make atonement for yourself and for the people. Then present the offering for the people, and make atonement for them, as Adonai commanded.” 8So Aaron drew near to the altar, and slaughtered the calf of the sin offering, which was for himself. 9The sons of Aaron presented the blood to him. Then he dipped his finger in the blood, dabbed it onto the horns of the altar, and poured out the blood at the base 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.

His sin-offering was probably regarded not so much as a sacrifice for his own actual sins as a typical acknowledgment of his sinful nature and of his future duty to offer for his own sins and those of the People.

- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 1-241-7. Moses called ...

But he was only the medium of communicating the divine will to the newly made priests. The first of their official acts was the sacrifice of another sin offering to atone for the defects of the inauguration services; and yet that sacrifice did not consist of a bullock--the sacrifice…Read the comment
