Aaron, as the high priest, is given the responsibility to offer a bull for a sin offering. This offering is crucial because it serves to atone for his own sins and those of his household, preparing him to perform his sacred duties on the Day of Atonement. The act of atonement is central to maintaining a pure and holy relationship with God. It signifies the need for cleansing and forgiveness, even for those in positions of spiritual leadership. By making atonement for himself first, Aaron ensures that he is spiritually prepared to intercede on behalf of the people. This practice emphasizes the principle that leaders must be spiritually accountable and pure before they can lead others effectively. It also reflects the broader biblical theme of repentance and reconciliation with God, reminding believers of the importance of seeking forgiveness and maintaining a humble heart before God.
"Aaron is to offer the bull for his own sin offering to make atonement for himself and his household."
