Leviticus 9 (KJV)

1/ And it came to pass on the eighth day, that Moses called Aaron and his sons, and the elders of Israel;

Let's look at the article below, "The Eighth Day"  written by J. A. Macdonald. See it in it's entirety @ biblehub.com

There is sacred mystery in the numbers of Holy Scripture well worthy of attention. We have an example before us.

I. ON THIS DAY (8th/JLW) THE CONSECRATIONS WERE COMPLETED.
1. The eighth is a day signalized by sanctity.
(1) All children were, according to the Law, in the uncleanness of their birth until the eighth day. Then they received circumcision, and thenceforward were recognized as holy, having the seal of the covenant or purification of God upon them (Leviticus 12:2, 3).
(2) The young of beasts, in like manner, were ceremonially unclean before their eighth day. They were therefore unfit to be offered as sacrifices. But on the eighth day and thenceforward that unfitness ceased; they were accounted clean (Leviticus 22:27).
(3) Persons unclean through leprosy, or through any issue, or a Nazarite in case of accidental defilement by the dead, all had to abide seven days in uncleanness. The eighth day, in all such cases, was memorable as that upon which they were accounted clean (Leviticus 14:8-10; Leviticus 15:13, 14; Numbers 6:9, 10).
(4) So here, the tabernacle, the altar, all the vessels of the ministry, together with the priests, were seven days in the process of purification, and on the eighth day the purity of all became established (comp. Ezekiel 43:26, 27).
2. These things point to gospel times.
(1) The pollutions of the birth refer to original sin. This, in the case of the children, is so obvious as to need no comment. The reason of the law of uncleanness in relation to the young of animals is that in the Levitical system they were made representatives of human beings.
(2) The pollutions of adults would stand for sins committed "after the similitude of Adam's transgression."
(3) All were "purged with blood," the blood of circumcision or that of animal sacrifices, which anticipated that precious blood of Christ by which we are redeemed from "all sin."
3. But what has this to do with the "eighth day"?
(1) The eighth day remarkably characterizes the gospel. Since in the week there are seven days, the "eighth" day and the "first" are obviously the same. Now, it was on the "first day of the week" that Jesus rose from the dead (Matthew 28:1). On the first day he seems to have several times appeared to his disciples during the forty days of his sojourn on the earth after his resurrection. On the first day he ascended into heaven, if we take the "forty days" to be clear days. The memorable day of Pentecost is calculated to have fallen upon the first day of the week. The early Christians kept the first day (Sunday) sacredly, as the seventh (Saturday) had been by the Jews (see Acts 20:7; 1 Corinthians 16:2). This was called "the Lord's day" (Revelation 1:10), just as our Eucharist (Holy Communion/JLW) is called "the Lord's Supper," because he instituted it.

2/ And he said unto Aaron, Take thee a young calf for a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering, without blemish, and offer them before the Lord.

3/ And unto the children of Israel thou shalt speak, saying, Take ye a kid of the goats for a sin offering; and a calf and a lamb, both of the first year, without blemish, for a burnt offering;

4/ Also a bullock and a ram for

peace offerings,

to sacrifice before the Lord; and a meat offering mingled with oil: for today the Lord will appear unto you.

5/ And they brought that which Moses commanded before the tabernacle of the congregation: and all the congregation drew near and stood before the Lord.
6/ And Moses said, This is the thing which the Lord commanded that ye should do: and the glory of the Lord shall appear unto you.
7/ And Moses said unto Aaron, Go unto the altar, and offer thy sin offering, and thy burnt offering, and make an atonement for thyself, and for the people: and offer the offering of the people, and make an atonement for them; as the Lord commanded.
8/ Aaron therefore went unto the altar, and slew the calf of the sin offering, which was for himself.
9/ And the sons of Aaron brought the blood unto him: and he dipped his finger in the blood, and put it upon the horns of the altar, and poured out the blood at the bottom of the altar:
10/ But the fat, and the kidneys, and the caul above the liver of the sin offering, he burnt upon the altar; as the Lord commanded Moses.
11/ And the flesh and the hide he burnt with fire without the camp.
12/ And he slew the burnt offering; and Aaron's sons presented unto him the blood, which he sprinkled round about upon the altar.
13/ And they presented the burnt offering unto him, with the pieces thereof, and the head: and he burnt them upon the altar.
14/ And he did wash the inwards and the legs, and burnt them upon the burnt offering on the altar.
15/ And he brought the people's offering, and took the goat, which was the sin offering for the people, and slew it, and offered it for sin, as the first.
16/ And he brought the burnt offering, and offered it according to the manner.
17/ And he brought the meat offering, and took an handful thereof, and burnt it upon the altar, beside the burnt sacrifice of the morning.
18/ He slew also the bullock and the ram for a sacrifice of peace offerings, which was for the people: and Aaron's sons presented unto him the blood, which he sprinkled upon the altar round about,
19/ And the fat of the bullock and of the ram, the rump, and that which covereth the inwards, and the kidneys, and the caul above the liver:
20/ And they put the fat upon the breasts, and he burnt the fat upon the altar:
21/ And the breasts and the right shoulder Aaron waved for a wave offering before the Lord; as Moses commanded.
22/ And

Aaron lifted up his hand toward the people, and blessed them,

and came down from offering of the sin offering, and the burnt offering, and peace offerings.
23/ And Moses and Aaron went into the tabernacle of the congregation, and came out, and blessed the people: and the glory of the Lord appeared unto all the people.

24/ And there came a fire out from before the Lord, and consumed upon the altar the burnt offering and the fat: which when all the people saw, they shouted, and fell on their faces. 

We are all so blessed today to only need to accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior to be forgiven for all sins and receive salvation with eternal life in Heaven.
