Book ◦ Chapter

Then he slaughtered the ox and the ram as the people’s peace offering.
In the context of Leviticus, the peace offering, also known as the fellowship offering, was a voluntary act of worship. It symbolized peace and fellowship between the offerer and God, often accompanied by a communal meal. The ox and the ram were significant animals in sacrificial rituals, representing strength and submission. The act of slaughtering these animals was a vivid reminder of the cost of reconciliation with God. This offering was distinct from sin and guilt offerings, focusing on thanksgiving and communion. The peace offering foreshadows the ultimate peace brought by Jesus Christ, who reconciled humanity to God through His sacrifice (Ephesians 2:14-16).

His sons brought him the blood,
The involvement of Aaron's sons in the sacrificial process highlights the priestly role of mediation between God and the people. Blood, representing life, was central to the sacrificial system, symbolizing atonement and purification (Leviticus 17:11). The priests' handling of the blood underscores the seriousness of their duties and the sanctity of the sacrificial rites. This act prefigures the New Testament understanding of Jesus as the High Priest who offers His own blood for the atonement of sins (Hebrews 9:11-14).

and he splattered it on all sides of the altar.
The splattering of blood on the altar was a ritual act signifying purification and consecration. The altar, as the focal point of sacrifice, needed to be sanctified to receive the offerings. This act ensured that the offering was acceptable to God. The comprehensive application of blood on all sides of the altar symbolizes the thoroughness of atonement and the encompassing nature of God's grace. This practice points to the comprehensive cleansing available through Christ's sacrifice, which purifies believers from all sin (1John 1:7).

What Does Leviticus 9:18 Mean

He slaughtered the ox and the ram

• Aaron, acting as high priest, personally kills the animals, underscoring that sin is costly and requires a life-for-life substitute (Leviticus 1:4-5;Hebrews 9:22).

• An ox and a ram represent strength and value, reflecting that the offering presented to God must be the very best (Malachi 1:8;1 Peter 1:19).

• The act follows God’s explicit commands fromExodus 29:10-18, showing obedience is non-negotiable in worship (1 Samuel 15:22).

as the people’s peace offering

• A peace (or fellowship) offering celebrates restored relationship; it is not to secure pardon—that has already been addressed through earlier sin and burnt offerings (Leviticus 9:8-14;Romans 5:1).

• This sacrifice is shared: part is burned, part is eaten by priests, and part by the worshipers (Leviticus 7:11-15). The communal meal anticipates the unity we now enjoy at the Lord’s Table (1 Corinthians 10:16-17).

• The placement here—inaugurating priestly ministry—reminds Israel that peace with God is the foundation for all subsequent service (Numbers 6:24-26).

His sons brought him the blood

• Aaron’s sons (the newly consecrated priests) assist, learning through hands-on obedience (Deuteronomy 6:6-7).

• Ministry is designed to be generational; faithful leaders train others to carry on (2 Timothy 2:2).

• Blood is central: “For the life of the flesh is in the blood… it is the blood that makes atonement for one’s life” (Leviticus 17:11). This prefigures Christ’s blood carried into the heavenly sanctuary (Hebrews 9:12).

he splattered it on all sides of the altar

• Sprinkling blood around the altar fully consecrates it, sealing every approach point with atonement (Exodus 24:6-8).

• The action dramatizes complete coverage: no spot on the altar—and thus no part of the worshiper’s life—is left untouched by God’s cleansing provision (Psalm 51:7).

• It foreshadows the comprehensive redemption accomplished at the cross where Jesus “made peace through the blood of His cross” (Colossians 1:20).

summary

Leviticus 9:18 pictures a finished work of fellowship: costly animals offered by an obedient priest, blood applied everywhere, and peace secured for the people. Every movement anticipates the perfect sacrifice of Christ, who provides stronger blood, fuller peace, and enduring fellowship for all who draw near to God through Him.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

(18-21)He slew also the bullock.--Better,and he slew,&c. With this peace offering, which was carried out according to the rules prescribed inLeviticus 3:1, &c, concluded the sacrificial ceremony of the installation of the priesthood and the sanctification of the people.
