John Gills Exposition of the Bible 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 . This was a type of Christ, of his being slain, and made an... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 16:16

And he shall make an atonement for the holy place ,.... Even the holy of holies, as Aben Ezra interprets it, into which the high priest entered with blood for that purpose; the Targum of Jonathan adds, by a verbal confession, that is, of sin; but atonement was not made in that way, but by the blood of the bullock and goat, which was sprinkled towards the mercy seat, above and below: and this was made because of the uncleanness of the children of Israel, and because of their... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 16:17

And there shall be no man in the tabernacle of the congregation ,.... Not any of the priests, as Aben Ezra, no, not in the holy place where they ministered, nor in the court of the tabernacle, nor in any of the courts, nor indeed any of the people: all places were cleared when he , the high priest: goeth in to make an atonement in the holy place until he come out ; this in the mystery of it was to signify, that atonement for sin is made only by Christ our high priest; he himself,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 16:18

And he shall go out unto the altar that is before the Lord ,.... The golden altar, the altar of incense, which stood in the holy place without the vail, over against the most holy place, where Jehovah dwelt, and so is said to be before him; of this altar the Misnah F18 Yoma, c. 5. Sect. 5. understands it, and so do Jarchi and Ben Gersom; and, according to Exodus 30:10 ; once a year Aaron was to make an atonement on the horns of it, with the blood of the sin offering, which plainly... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 16:19

And he shall sprinkle of the blood upon it with his finger seven times ,.... This was done with his right finger, or forefinger, as the Targum of Jonathan, and seven times, to denote the perfect cleansing of the altar with it. Jarchi observes, that after he, the high priest, had put the puttings (of blood) upon the horns of it, he sprinkled of it seven sprinklings on the top of it: the Misnah says F21 Yoma, c. 5. sect. 6. , upon the pure place of it, that is, upon a place of it, from... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 16:20

And when he hath made an end of reconciling the holy place ,.... That is, the holy of holies, by carrying in the blood of the bullock, and of the goat there, and sprinkling them as before observed: and the tabernacle of the congregation ; the great court where the people met, and where the altar of burnt offering stood: and the altar ; the altar of incense in the holy place; and so all the parts of the tabernacle were reconciled and atoned for, even the holy of holies, the holy... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 16:21

And Aaron shall lay both his hands on the head of the live goat ,.... In this order as the Targum of Jonathan says, his right hand upon his left hand on the head of the live goat; this was done in the name of the people, hereby transferring their sins, and the punishment of them, to it: and confess him all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions in all their sins ; which takes in their sins, greater or lesser, sins of ignorance and presumption, known or not... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 16:22

And the goat shall bear upon him all their iniquities unto a land not inhabited ,.... Where it would never be seen, and from whence it would never return more; and so was a proper type of Christ, who has borne all the sins of all his people in his own body on the cross, and all the punishment due unto them; and so has made full satisfaction for them, and has removed them from them, as far as the east is from the west, and out of the sight of avenging justice; so that when they are sought... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 16:8

Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats - The Jews inform us that there were two lots made either of wood, stone, or any kind of metal. On one was written לשם Lashshem , for the Name, i. e., יהוה Jehovah , which the Jews will neither write nor pronounce: on the other was written לעזאזל Laazazel , for the Scape-Goat: then they put the two lots into a vessel which was called קלפי kalpey , the goats standing with their faces towards the west. Then the priest came, and the goats... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 16:10

To be the scape-goat - עזאזל azazel , from עז az , a goat, and אזל azal , to dismiss; the dismissed or sent away goat, to distinguish it from the goat that was to be offered in sacrifice. Most ancient nations had vicarious sacrifices, to which they transferred by certain rites and ceremonies the guilt of the community at large, in the same manner in which the scapegoat was used by the Jews. The white bull that was sacrificed by the Egyptians to their god Apis was of this kind;... read more
