Leviticus 16:5 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 16:5

And he shall take of the congregation of the children of
Israel
With whom only the high priest had to do on the day of atonement; as Christ our high priest has only with the Israel of God, the elect, given him by the Father, for whom he offered up himself, and for whose sins he made reconciliation: two kids of the goats for a sin offering;
the one of which was killed, and the other let go alive, and both were but one offering, typical of Christ in both his natures, divine and human, united in one person; and who was made sin, and became a sin offering for his people: and one ram for a burnt offering;
a type of Christ, mighty to save, this creature being a strong one; and of his dolorous sufferings, this offering being burnt; and of God's gracious acceptance of his sacrifice, which was of a sweet smelling savour to him; the burnt offering following by way of thanksgiving for atonement made by the sin offering graciously accepted by the Lord.

Leviticus 16:5 In-Context

3 "This is how Aaron may enter the Most Holy Place: Before he enters, he must offer a bull for a sin offering and a male sheep for a whole burnt offering.
4 He must put on the holy linen inner robe, with the linen underclothes next to his body. His belt will be the cloth belt, and he will wear the linen turban. These are holy clothes, so he must bathe his body in water before he puts them on.
5 "Aaron must take from the people of Israel two male goats for a sin offering and one male sheep for a burnt offering.
6 Then he will offer the bull for the sin offering for himself to remove sins from him and his family so they will belong to the Lord.
7 "Next Aaron will take the two goats and bring them before the Lord at the entrance to the Meeting Tent.
