And the priest shall make an atonement for him before the Lord ,.... By offering the ram he brought, by which a typical, but not real atonement was made; for the blood of bulls and goats, of sheep and rams, could not take away sin; but as they were types of Christ, and led to him, the Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world: and it shall be forgiven him, for anything of all that he hath done, in trespassing therein ; any and everyone of the above sins, with all the aggravations... read more

And he shall put off his garments ,.... Those before mentioned, he is said to put on: and put on other garments ; not common garments or lay-habits, what the priests wore when they were not on duty; for, as Ben Gersom says, these were priestly garments, though meaner than the first, or those that were put off: and so Jarchi says, they were worse than they were: it seems as if they were such that were spotted and dirty, and threadbare, almost worn out, and only fit for such sort of work... read more
