Vayikra 16:9 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 16:9

And Aaron shall bring the goat on which the Lord's lot fell,

an offering for the sins of the people, as a type of Christ, who made his soul an offering for sin for his people; but this was not done by Aaron until he had brought and killed the sin offering for himself; after which we read of killing this sin offering for the people, ( Leviticus 16:11 Leviticus 16:15 ) ; wherefore some take this offering here to be no other than a setting apart or devoting the goat for this service.
