leviticus-16:8-nasb

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Leviticus 16:1-33

Lev_16:1 Lev_22:33 . The opening words of chapter 16 carry us back to the early verses of Leviticus 10.0 where the sin of Nadab and Abihu is recorded. Certain consequences flowing from that sin are mentioned in the rest of the 10th chapter, but now we find that it furnished the occasion for the ritual of the annual day of atonement to be revealed. Verse Lev_16:29 of our chapter shows that it was the procedure to be observed on that day, and how it fitted into the succession of feasts that... read more

Leviticus THE DAY OF ATONEMENT Lev_16:1 - Lev_16:19 . The Talmudical treatise on the ritual of the day of atonement is entitled ‘Yoma,’ the day, which sufficiently expresses its importance in the series of sacrificial observances. It was the confession of the incompleteness of them all, a ceremonial proclamation that ceremonies do not avail to take away sin; and it was also a declaration that the true end of worship is not reached till the worshipper has free access to the holy place of... read more

the Offerings for Atonement Day Leviticus 16:1-14 This chapter contains the ritual of the great Day of Atonement, when the high priest entered within the veil, and in virtue of the blood sprinkled upon the mercy seat, and still more of the faith exercised therein, Israel was cleansed from every sin before the Lord, Leviticus 16:30 . The death of his two sons acted as a solemn warning that Aaron should not deviate from the prescribed ceremonial in the smallest particular. Every step is worthy... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Leviticus 16:1-34

The great Day of Atonement was perhaps the most important of the whole year in the Hebrew economy. On that day provision was made for dealing with the whole question of sin as known and unknown. When considering the sin and trespass offerings, we saw that in each case, in greater or less degree, the element of accountability was conditioned in knowledge. Sin, however, in the sight of God is still sin, even though committed in ignorance. All such must be dealt with. Careful instructions were... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 16:8

“And Aaron shall cast lots on the two goats; one lot for Yahweh, and the other lot for ‘azazel.” Then he casts lots for them, selecting between the two, for one is to be for Yahweh, and one is to be for ‘azazel. The word ‘az’azel is a puzzle to us. Some see it as meaning ‘the goat of a complete going away’ (from the piel of ’azal - to go away and ‘ez - a goat), thus indicating the complete going away of sin. Others that it means ‘in order to completely remove’ (compare Arabic ‘azala), thus... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 16:1-15

Leviticus 16:1-Ezra : . Atonement Rite for High Priest and his Family.— The holy place within the veil, i.e. the inner of the two compartments of the shrine, is not to be entered at will, but only on New Year’ s Day ( Leviticus 16:29). Otherwise the intruder would be killed by the Shekinah which dwelt there in solitary majesty. (For the veil, see Exodus 26:31 *; for the mercy-seat, see Exodus 25:17 ff.*) The priest, wearing less ornate robes than at his consecration ( Leviticus 8:7 ff.),... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 16:1-34

Leviticus 16. The Day of Atonement (see p. 104).— The introduction ( Leviticus 16:1) shows, by its reference to Leviticus 10:1-Judges :, that Leviticus 16 originally followed Leviticus 10:7; i.e. after the law for the High Priest’ s consecration came the law of his entrance into the holy place. It is possible that the kernel of Leviticus 16 is this law of the High Priest’ s entrance ( Leviticus 16:1-Numbers :; Leviticus 16:6; Leviticus 16:12-1 Chronicles :; Leviticus 16:23-Lamentations... read more
