Leviticus 16:1-34 ESV

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

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 16:22

ATONEMENT AND PEACE‘And the goat shall bear upon him all their iniquities unto a land not inhabited: and he shall let go the goat in the wilderness’ (margin ‘a land of separation’). Leviticus 16:22 I. The solitude of the sin-bearer is something altogether distinct from the solitude of the Holy One. The solitude of holiness separated Him from sinners; but that separation, which made Him lead in His humanity a strange, lonesome life, yet brought Him into such full contact with all the glorious... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 16:1

‘And Yahweh spoke to Moses, after the death of the two sons of Aaron, when they drew near before Yahweh, and died,’ These words of Moses are timed as taking place after the death of the two sons of Aaron in Leviticus 10:1-2. They had drawn near before Yahweh and died because they offered what was false and behaved foolishly. Now it was necessary that the High Priest offered what was true, otherwise he too would die. But the laws of uncleanness had previously been expounded on in order to fill... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 16:2

‘And Yahweh said to Moses, “Speak to Aaron your brother, that he come not at all times into the holy place within the veil, before the mercy-seat which is on the ark, that he die not. For I will appear in the cloud on the mercy-seat.” ’ God’s first warning is that Aaron recognise that the High Priest does not have the right to enter the Holy of Holies, ‘the holy place within the veil’, except by strict permission, that permission being given only on the Day of Atonement. He does not have... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 16:3

“With this shall Aaron come into the holy place, with a young bull ox for a purification for sin offering, and a ram for a whole burnt offering.” On this day, after the morning whole burnt offering (a lamb of the first year) had been offered with its accompanying grain offering, Aaron’s approach to Yahweh had to commence with offerings for himself and the priests. These would consist of a young bull ox for a purification for sin offering and a ram for a whole burnt offering. He must make... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 16:4

“He shall put on the holy linen coat, and he shall have the linen breeches on his flesh, and shall be girded with the linen girdle, and with the linen mitre shall he be attired. They are the holy garments. And he shall bathe his flesh in water, and put them on.” But before presenting these the High Priest had to divest himself of his normal Priestly garments and, after thoroughly washing himself, put on the special garments only used on the Day of Atonement. These were pure white, and consisted... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 16:5

“And he shall take of the congregation of the children of Israel two he-goats for a purification for sin offering, and one ram for a whole burnt offering.” For the congregation of the children of Israel, the whole people, he was to take two he-goats and a ram. The two he-goats were ‘for a purification for sin offering’. As we shall see shortly the two were seen as one. The ram was for a whole burnt offering. They were types and shadows of the great He-Goat and Ram, the Lamb of God, Who would... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 16:6

“And Aaron shall present the bull ox of the purification for sin offering, which is for himself, and make atonement for himself, and for his house.” First of all Aaron has to make atonement for himself and for his house by offering the bull ox for a purification for sin offering. At this stage, however, he merely ‘presents’ it, although it is pointed out that its final purpose is that it might make atonement. read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 16:7

“And he shall take the two goats, and set them before Yahweh at the door of the tent of meeting.” Then he takes the two goats and sets them before Yahweh at the door of the tent of meeting. They too are being ‘presented’. read more

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
