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 and put the cens apon the fire before the Lorde: that the cloude of the cens maye couer the mercyseate that is apon the witnesse, that he dye not.

14 And he shall take of the bloude of the oxe ad sprinkle it with his finger before the mercyseate eastwarde: euen .vij. tymes.

15 Then shall he kyll the goote that is the peoples synneofferynge, and brynge hys bloude within the vayle, and doo with his bloude as he dyd with the bloude of the oxe, and let him sprinkle it toward the mercyseate and before the mercyseate:

16 ad reconcyle the holy place fro the vnclennesse of the childern of Israel, and from their trespaces ad all there synnes. And so let him doo also vnto the tabernacle of witnesse that dwelleth with them, eue among their vnclennesses.

17 And there shalbe no bodye in the tabernacle of witnesse, when he goeth in to make an attonement in the holy place, vntyll he come out agayne. And he shall make an attonement for him selfe and for his housholde, ad for all the multitude of Israel.
