Numbers 28:22 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 28:22

And one goat [for] a sin offering, to make atonement for you.
] For notwithstanding all their services and sacrifices, and though this day was an holy convocation, yet there was need of a sin offering to expiate their guilt, typical of Christ, who takes away the sins of our holy things as well as all other sins: this sin offering also was of that sort which were eaten; for Maimonides says ^F11, the goat of the sin offering was eaten on the second day of the passover, which was the sixteenth of Nisan.

Numbers 28:22 In-Context

20 Their grain offering will be fine flour mixed with oil. You will offer three-tenths for the bull, two-tenths for the ram,

21 and one-tenth for each of the seven lambs,

22 along with one male goat for a purification offering to seek reconciliation for yourselves.

23 You will offer these in addition to the entirely burned offering of the morning, which is the regular entirely burned offering.

24 Like these, you will also offer each day for seven days a food gift as a soothing smell to the LORD. It will be offered in addition to the regular entirely burned offering and its drink offering.
