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 And their meal offering, the best meal mixed with oil: let three tenth parts of an ephah be offered for an ox and two tenth parts for a male sheep;

21 And a separate tenth part for every one of the seven lambs;

22 And one he-goat for a sin-offering to take away your sin.

23 These are to be offered in addition to the morning burned offering, which is a regular burned offering at all times.

24 In this way, every day for seven days, give the food of the offering made by fire, a sweet smell to the Lord: it is to be offered in addition to the regular burned offering, and its drink offering.
