Leviticus 16:15

Leviticus 16:15 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 16:15

Then shall he kill the goat of the sin offering that [is] for
the people
That upon which the lot came for the Lord, ( Leviticus 16:9 ) ; the high priest having sprinkled the blood of the bullock, came out of the most holy place, and went into the court of the tabernacle to the altar of burnt offering, and on the north side of that slew the goat for the sin offering, the place where all such were killed; see ( Leviticus 1:11 ) ( 6:25 ) . This was a type of Christ, of his being slain, and made an offering for the sins of his people:

and bring his blood within the vail:
it being received into a basin, as before the blood of the bullock was, he took it, and with it went in a third time into the most holy place:

and do with that blood as he did with the blood of the bullock, and
sprinkle it upon the mercy seat, and before the mercy seat;
it should be rendered "toward the mercy seat" it is by Noldius ^F17; (See Gill on Leviticus 16:14).

Leviticus 16:15 In-Context

13 and he shall put the incense on the fire before Yahweh, that the cloud of the incense may cover the mercy seat that is on the testimony, that he not die:

14 and he shall take of the blood of the bull, and sprinkle it with his finger on the mercy seat on the east; and before the mercy seat shall he sprinkle of the blood with his finger seven times.

15 Then shall he kill the goat of the sin-offering, that is for the people, and bring his blood within the veil, and do with his blood as he did with the blood of the bull, and sprinkle it on the mercy seat, and before the mercy seat:

16 and he shall make atonement for the holy place, because of the uncleanness of the children of Israel, and because of their transgressions, even all their sins: and so shall he do for the tent of meeting, that dwells with them in the midst of their uncleanness.

17 There shall be no man in the tent of meeting when he goes in to make atonement in the holy place, until he come out, and have made atonement for himself, and for his household, and for all the assembly of Israel.
