Verse 15

"And he presented the people's oblation, and took the goat of the sin-offering which was for the people, and slew it, and offered it for sin, as the first. And he presented the burnt-offering, and offered it according to the ordinance. And he presented the meal-offering, and filled his hand therefrom, and burnt it upon the altar, besides the burnt-offering of the morning."

"The burnt-offering of the morning ..." is a reference to the morning and evening sacrifices which were offered daily, that offering, no doubt, having been rather thoroughly burned up in the time of the ceremony recorded here.

There is some peculiar terminology in Leviticus 9:15, where, according to many scholars, a stricter rendition of the Hebrew gives us: "He sinned it, or made it to be sin!"[6] This strongly suggests the words of 2 Corinthians 5:21, where it is declared that God made Christ "to be sin" upon our behalf. This also indicates the TYPICAL nature of all of those burnt sacrifices. They were representative of the eventual atonement for sin that would be provided in the death of Christ.
