Contextual Overview
1 Eight days later Moses called together Aaron, his sons, and Israel's leaders. 2 Then he said to Aaron: Find a young bull and a ram that have nothing wrong with them. Offer the bull to the Lord as a sacrifice for sin and the ram as a sacrifice to please him. 3 Tell the people of Israel that they must offer sacrifices as well. They must offer a goat as a sacrifice for sin, and a bull and a ram as a sacrifice to please the Lord . The bull and the ram must be a year old and have nothing wrong with them. 4 Then the people must offer a bull and a ram as a sacrifice to ask the Lord 's blessing and also a grain sacrifice mixed with oil. Do this, because the Lord will appear to you today. 5 After the animals and the grain had been brought to the front of the sacred tent, and the people were standing there in the presence of the Lord , 6 Moses said: The Lord has ordered you to do this, so that he may appear to you in all of his glory. 7 Aaron, step up to the altar and offer the sacrifice to please the Lord , then offer the sacrifices for the forgiveness of your sins and for the sins of the people, just as the Lord has commanded.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And he said unto Aaron,.... In the presence of the people of Israel:
take thee a young calf for a sin [offering]; one not exceeding a year old, as in Leviticus 9:3 but this was not for the sin of making the calf only, to which the Jewish writers restrain it, but for all other sins of his, which it was necessary should be expiated before he offered sacrifices for the sins of others:
and a ram for a burnt offering; being a strong and innocent creature, was a proper emblem of Christ, the Lamb of God, that takes away by his sacrifice the sins of men:
without blemish; this character belongs, as Aben Ezra observes, both to the calf and ram, which were both to be without spot, and so proper types of Christ the Lamb without spot and blemish, free both from original and actual sin:
and offer [them] before the Lord; on the altar of burnt offering, which stood in the court of the tabernacle near where Jehovah was, to whom every sacrifice for sin was to be offered, being committed against him, and whose justice must be satisfied for it.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Leviticus 9:1
On the eighth day - i. e., on the first day after the week of consecration.
Leviticus 9:2
A young calf - A bull calf, which might have been what we should call a yearling ox.
Leviticus 9:3
A kid of the goats - A shaggy he-goat. See Leviticus 4:23 note.
Leviticus 9:6
The glory of the Lord - Compare Exodus 16:7.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Leviticus 9:2. Take thee a young calf, &c. — As these sacrifices were for Aaron himself, they are furnished by himself and not by the people, for they were designed to make atonement for his own sin. See Leviticus 4:3. And this is supposed by the Jews to have been intended to make an atonement for his sin in the matter of the golden calf. This is very probable, as no formal atonement for that transgression had yet been made.
