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 for the sacrifice of every one three tenths of flour which shall be tempered with oil to every calf, and two tenths to every ram,

21 And the tenth of a tenth, to every lamb, that is to say, to all the seven lambs:

22 And one buck goat for sin, to make atonement for you,

23 Besides the morning holocaust which you shall always offer.

24 So shall you do every day of the seven days for the food of the fire, and for a most sweet odour to the Lord, which shall rise from the holocaust, and from the libations of each.
