| shall take of the congregation . . . two kids of the goats . . . and one ram--The sacrifices were to be offered by the high priest, respectively for himself and the other priests, as well as for the people. The bullock (Lev 16:3) and the goats were for sin offerings and the rams for burnt offerings. The goats, though used in different ways, constituted only one offering. They were both presented before the Lord, and the disposal of them determined by lot, which Jewish writers have thus described: The priest, placing one of the goats on his right hand and the other on his left, took his station by the altar, and cast into an urn two pieces of gold exactly similar, inscribed, the one with the words "for the Lord," and the other for "Azazel" (the scapegoat). After having well shaken them together, he put both his hands into the box and took up a lot in each: that in his right hand he put on the head of the goat which stood on his right, and that in his left he dropped on the other. In this manner the fate of each was decided. |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
Take of the congregation - i. e. they were to be supplied at the public cost.
Two kids of the goats - This should be, two shaggy he-goats (Lev 4:23 note), of the same color, size, and value. |
| The Scofield Bible Commentary, by Cyrus Ingerson Scofield, [1917] |
goats
The two goats. The offering of the high priest for himself has no anti-type in Christ (Heb 7:26); (Heb 7:27). The typical interest centers upon the two goats and the high priest. Typically...
1. All is done by the high priest (Heb 1:3) "by Himself"), the people only bring the sacrifice; (Mat 26:47); (Mat 27:24); (Mat 27:25).
2. The goat slain (Jehovah's lot) is that aspect of Christ's work which vindicates the holiness and righteousness of God as expressed in the law (Rom 3:24-26) and is expiatory.
3. The living goat typifies that aspect of Christ's work which puts away our sins from before God (Heb 9:26); (Rom 8:33); (Rom 8:34).
4. The high priest entering the holiest, typifies Christ entering "heaven itself" with "His own blood" for us (Heb 9:11); (Heb 9:12). His blood makes that to be a "throne of grace," and "mercy seat" which else must have been a throne of judgment.
5. For us, the priests of the New Covenant, there is what Israel never had, a rent veil (Mat 27:51); (Heb 10:19); (Heb 10:20). So that, for worship and blessing, we enter, in virtue of His blood, where He is, into the holiest; (Heb 4:14-16); (Heb 10:19-22). The atonement of Christ, as interpreted by the Old Testament sacrificial types, has these necessary elements:
(1) It is substitutionary-the offering takes the offerer's place in death.
(2) The law is not evaded but honored-every sacrificial death was an execution of the sentence of the law.
(3) The sinlessness of Him who bore our sins is expressed in every animal sacrifice-it must be without blemish.
(4) The effect of the atoning work of Christ is typified
(a) in the promises, "it shall be forgiven him"; and
(b) in the peace-offering, the expression of fellowship-the highest privilege of the saint.
(See Scofield) - (Exo 29:33) |
3 Thus [02063] shall Aaron [0175] come [0935] into the holy [06944] place: with a young [01121] [01241] bullock [06499] for a sin offering [02403], and a ram [0352] for a burnt offering [05930].
23 Or if his sin [02403], wherein he hath sinned [02398], come to his knowledge [03045]; he shall bring [0935] his offering [07133], a kid [08163] of the goats [05795], a male [02145] without blemish [08549]:
33 And they shall eat [0398] those things wherewith the atonement was made [03722], to consecrate [04390] [03027] and to sanctify [06942] them: but a stranger [02114] shall not eat [0398] thereof, because they are holy [06944].
19 Having [2192] therefore [3767], brethren [80], boldness [3954] to [1519] enter [1529] into the holiest [39] by [1722] the blood [129] of Jesus [2424],
20 By a new [4372] and [2532] living [2198] way [3598], which [3739] he hath consecrated [1457] for us [2254], through [1223] the veil [2665], that is to say [5123], his [846] flesh [4561];
21 And [2532] having an high [3173] priest [2409] over [1909] the house [3624] of God [2316];
22 Let us draw near [4334] with [3326] a true [228] heart [2588] in [1722] full assurance [4136] of faith [4102], having [4472] our hearts [2588] sprinkled [4472] from [575] an evil [4190] conscience [4893], and [2532] our bodies [4983] washed [3068] with pure [2513] water [5204].
14 Seeing [2192] then [3767] that we have [2192] a great [3173] high priest [749], that is passed into [1330] the heavens [3772], Jesus [2424] the Son [5207] of God [2316], let us hold fast [2902] our profession [3671].
15 For [1063] we have [2192] not [3756] an high priest [749] which cannot [3361] [1410] be touched with the feeling [4834] of our [2257] infirmities [769]; but [1161] was [3985] in [2596] all points [3956] tempted [3985] [3987] like [2596] as [3665] we are, yet without [5565] sin [266].
16 Let us [4334] therefore [3767] come [4334] boldly [3326] [3954] unto the throne [2362] of grace [5485], that [2443] we may obtain [2983] mercy [1656], and [2532] find [2147] grace [5485] to help [996] in [1519] time of need [2121].
20 By a new [4372] and [2532] living [2198] way [3598], which [3739] he hath consecrated [1457] for us [2254], through [1223] the veil [2665], that is to say [5123], his [846] flesh [4561];
19 Having [2192] therefore [3767], brethren [80], boldness [3954] to [1519] enter [1529] into the holiest [39] by [1722] the blood [129] of Jesus [2424],
51 And [2532], behold [2400], the veil [2665] of the temple [3485] was rent [4977] in [1519] twain [1417] from [575] the top [509] to [2193] the bottom [2736]; and [2532] the earth [1093] did quake [4579], and [2532] the rocks [4073] rent [4977];
12 Neither [3761] by [1223] the blood [129] of goats [5131] and [2532] calves [3448], but [1161] by [1223] his own [2398] blood [129] he entered in [1525] once [2178] into [1519] the holy place [39], having obtained [2147] eternal [166] redemption [3085] for us.
11 But [1161] Christ [5547] being come [3854] an high priest [749] of good things [18] to come [3195], by [1223] a greater [3187] and [2532] more perfect [5046] tabernacle [4633], not [3756] made with hands [5499], that is to say [5123], not [3756] of this [5026] building [2937];
34 Who [5101] is he that condemneth [2632]? It is Christ [5547] that died [599], yea [1161] rather [3123] [2532], that is risen again [1453], who [3739] is [2076] even [2532] at [1722] the right hand [1188] of God [2316], who [3739] also [2532] maketh intercession [1793] for [5228] us [2257].
33 Who [5101] shall lay any thing [1458] to the charge [2596] of God's [2316] elect [1588]? It is God [2316] that justifieth [1344].
26 For then [1893] must [1163] he [846] often [4178] have suffered [3958] since [575] the foundation [2602] of the world [2889]: but [1161] now [3568] once [530] in [1909] the end [4930] of the world [165] hath he appeared [5319] to [1519] put away [115] sin [266] by [1223] the sacrifice [2378] of himself [846].
24 Being justified [1344] freely [1432] by his [846] grace [5485] through [1223] the redemption [629] that is in [1722] Christ [5547] Jesus [2424]:
25 Whom [3739] God [2316] hath set forth [4388] to be a propitiation [2435] through [1223] faith [4102] in [1722] his [846] blood [129], to [1519] declare [1732] his [846] righteousness [1343] for [1223] the remission [3929] of sins [265] that are past [4266], through [1722] the forbearance [463] of God [2316];
26 To [4314] declare [1732], I say, at [1722] this [3568] time [2540] his [846] righteousness [1343]: that [1519] he might be [1511] just [1342], and [2532] the justifier [1344] of him [846] which believeth [4102] in [1537] Jesus [2424].
25 Then [2532] answered [611] all [3956] the people [2992], and said [2036], His [846] blood [129] be on [1909] us [2248], and [2532] on [1909] our [2257] children [5043].
24 When [1161] Pilate [4091] saw [1492] that [3754] he could prevail [5623] nothing [3762], but [235] that rather [3123] a tumult [2351] was made [1096], he took [2983] water [5204], and washed [633] his hands [5495] before [561] the multitude [3793], saying [3004], I am [1510] innocent [121] of [575] the blood [129] of this [5127] just person [1342]: see [3700] ye [5210] to it.
47 And [2532] while [2089] he [846] yet [2089] spake [2980], lo [2400], Judas [2455], one [1520] of the twelve [1427], came [2064], and [2532] with [3326] him [846] a great [4183] multitude [3793] with [3326] swords [3162] and [2532] staves [3586], from [575] the chief priests [749] and [2532] elders [4245] of the people [2992].
3 Who [3739] being [5607] the brightness [541] of his glory [1391], and [2532] the express image [5481] of his [846] person [5287], and [5037] upholding [5342] all things [3956] by the word [4487] of his [846] power [1411], when he had [4160] [2512] by [1223] himself [1438] purged [4160] [2512] our [2257] sins [266], sat down [2523] on [1722] the right hand [1188] of the Majesty [3172] on [1722] high [5308];
27 Who [3739] needeth [2192] [318] not [3756] daily [2596] [2250], as [5618] those high priests [749], to offer up [399] sacrifice [2378], first [4386] for [5228] his own [2398] sins [266], and then [1899] for the people's [2992]: for [1063] this [5124] he did [4160] once [2178], when he offered up [399] himself [1438].
26 For [1063] such [5108] an high priest [749] became [4241] us [2254], who is holy [3741], harmless [172], undefiled [283], separate [5563] from [575] sinners [268], and [2532] made [1096] higher than [5308] the heavens [3772];
