9 Aaron shall bring the goat whose lot falls to the Lord and sacrifice it for a sin offering.
9 And Aaron shall bring the goat upon which the Lord's lot fell,
9 And Aaron shall present the goat on which the lot fell for the Lord and use it as a sin offering,
9 He will offer the goat on which the lot to God falls as an Absolution-Offering.
9 And Aaron shall bring the goat on which the Lord's lot fell, and offer it as a sin offering.
9 Aaron will then present as a sin offering the goat chosen by lot for the Lord .
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Leviticus 16:9
Commentary on Leviticus 16:1-14
(Read Leviticus 16:1-14)
Without entering into particulars of the sacrifices on the great day of atonement, we may notice that it was to be a statute for ever, till that dispensation be at an end. As long as we are continually sinning, we continually need the atonement. The law of afflicting our souls for sin, is a statue which will continue in force till we arrive where all tears, even those of repentance, will be wiped from our eyes. The apostle observes it as a proof that the sacrifices could not take away sin, and cleanse the conscience from it, that in them there was a remembrance made of sin every year, upon the day of atonement, Hebrews 10:1,3. The repeating the sacrifices, showed there was in them but a feeble effort toward making atonement; this could be done only by offering up the body of Christ once for all; and that sacrifice needed not to be repeated.
