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 He must put the incense on the fire before the Lord so that the cloud of incense will cover the lid on the Ark. Then when Aaron comes in, he will not die.

14 Also, he must take some of the blood from the bull and sprinkle it with his finger on the front of the lid; with his finger he will sprinkle the blood seven times in front of the lid.

15 "Then Aaron must kill the goat of the sin offering for the people and bring its blood into the room behind the curtain. He must do with the goat's blood as he did with the bull's blood, sprinkling it on the lid and in front of the lid.

16 Because the people of Israel have been unclean, Aaron will perform the acts to make the Most Holy Place ready for service to the Lord. Then it will be clean from the sins and crimes of the Israelites. He must also do this for the Meeting Tent, because it stays in the middle of unclean people.

17 When Aaron makes the Most Holy Place ready for service to the Lord, no one is allowed in the Meeting Tent until he comes out. So Aaron will perform the acts to remove sins from himself, his family, and all the people of Israel, so they will belong to the Lord.
