Leviticus 9:1–24 emphasizes that the goal of worship is that the Lord would appear to his people. The phrase “so that” is a Hebrew construction that indicates purpose. In this instance the Lord is pleased to manifest his glory to his people as they worship him rightly. The obedience of the nation will result in the appearance of the “glory” of the Lord. This is repeated (Leviticus 9:4, Leviticus 9:6) and recorded as actually taking place (Leviticus 9:23). If God did not make his presence known, worship would merely be an empty ritual and it would not last.
6 And Moses said, “This is the thing that the LORD commanded you to do, that the glory of the LORD may appear to you.”
