Leviticus 16:5, Leviticus 16:7-9 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Leviticus 16:5-14

The Jewish writers say that for seven days before the day of expiation the high priest was to retire from his own house, and to dwell in a chamber of the temple, that he might prepare himself for the service of this great day. During those seven days he himself did the work of the inferior priests about the sacrifices, incense, etc., that he might have his hand in for this day: he must have the institution read to him again and again, that he might be fully apprised of the whole method. 1. He... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 16:5

And he shall take of the congregation of the children of Israel ,.... With whom only the high priest had to do on the day of atonement; as Christ our high priest has only with the Israel of God, the elect, given him by the Father, for whom he offered up himself, and for whose sins he made reconciliation: two kids of the goats for a sin offering ; the one of which was killed, and the other let go alive, and both were but one offering, typical of Christ in both his natures, divine and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 16:1-28

Union and communion with God is that which the undepraved heart of man most longs for, and which religion is especially intended to bring about. That this may be effected, the barrier of sin, and of that which represents sin—ceremonial uncleanness—must be broken down. If sin and uncleanness cannot be taken away so as to be as though they had not been, they must, according to their nature, be either punished as justice demands, or be so covered over as to be withdrawn from the sight of the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 16:1-34

The great Day of Atonement ( Leviticus 16:29-31 ). One day in the year set apart to the most solemn representation possible of the two facts—the sinfulness of man, the righteous love of God. Atonement underlying the whole of the ceremonial Law, but the insufficiency of the dally sacrifices, set forth by the separation of one day for the special sacrifice, thus pointing to one atonement in which all other atone-meats should be perfected. Solemn warning in the death of the two sons of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 16:1-34

The climax of sacrificial worship, the Day of Atonement. cf. John 1:29 ; 1 Corinthians 5:7 ; Hebrews 9:10 . The sacrifices already considered all bring out with more or less emphasis the idea of atonement. But to render this cardinal idea of our religion still more emphatic, it was ordained that the tenth day of the seventh month in each year should be a day of special humiliation on the part of the people, and special ritual on the part of the priests. The directions about it were... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 16:2-17

Type and antitype-the priest. The high priest offering sacrifices for the sin of the people was a clear type of" the High Priest of our profession," who offered the one sacrifice for sin, who became the Propitiation for our sin, even for the sins of the whole world ( 1 John 2:2 ). We have— I. FOUR FEATURES OF RESEMBLANCE . 1 . Aaron acted under Divine direction. He was appointed by God to take the post he took, and was charged to do everything he did. He might not deviate... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 16:5

And he shall take of the congregation of the children of Israel two kids of the goats. It was necessary that the sacrifice offered for a person or class of persons should be provided by the offerer or offerers. The two kids of the goats, or rather the two he-goats, constituted together but one sin offering. This is important for the understanding of the sequel. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 16:5-28

The sacrifices of the Day of Atonement. Upon ordinary occasions sacrifices might be offered by common priests, who might act as representatives of the high priest or as representatives of the people, and so be types of Christ, or types of Christians. But upon this day the high priest must act in person, which leaves no doubt as to these transactions being eminently emblematical of Christ and of his great work. We notice— I. THE OFFERINGS FOR AARON AND HIS HOUSE . (See ... read more

16:1-17:16 THE BLOOD OF ATONEMENTDay of Atonement: introduction (16:1-10)God’s dramatic judgment on Aaron’s two sons (see 10:1-7) showed clearly that the priests needed to act with care and reverence in everything they did, especially inside the tabernacle (that is, in the Holy Place). This chapter goes on to explain that only the high priest could enter the inner sanctuary (the Most Holy Place), and then only once a year, on the Day of Atonement.Although the regular rituals dealt with sin in... read more
