Leviticus 16:11

_AND AARON SHALL BRING THE BULLOCK OF THE SIN OFFERING, WHICH IS FOR HIMSELF, AND SHALL MAKE AN ATONEMENT FOR HIMSELF, AND FOR HIS HOUSE, AND SHALL KILL THE BULLOCK OF THE SIN OFFERING WHICH IS FOR HIMSELF:_ Aaron shall bring the bullock ..., х_ WªHIQRIYB_ (H7126)] - shall offer or present (cf. Leviticus 16:6; Leviticus 16:9; Leviticus 16:20). This act must have been a solemn and impressive part of the ceremonial. In this formal presentation of the destined victims there was a silent but significant declaration of the common consciousness of demerit on the part of all-priests as well as people requiring an atonement, and engaging in the religious

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; Hebrews 10:3. 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; an...

It is important, in reference to the meaning of the day of atonement, to observe the order of the rites as they are described in these verses. Leviticus 16:12 A CENSER - See Exodus 25:38 note. THE ALTAR BEFORE THE LORD - i. e. the altar of burnt-offering on which the fire was always burning. Leviticus 16:14 The high priest must have come out from the most holy place to fetch the blood, leaving the censer smoking within, and then have entered again within the veil. He sprinkled the blood seven times upon the mercy-seat, on its east side (not “eastward”), a

PART III. SECTION II. EXPOSITION THE CEREMONIAL PURIFICATION OF THE WHOLE CONGREGATION ON THE GREAT DAY OF ATONEMENT. This chapter, containing the account of the institution of the ceremonial to be used on the Day of Atonement, would take its place chronologically immediately after the tenth chapter, for the instructions conveyed in it were delivered to Moses _"after the death of the two sons of Aaron, when they offered before the Lord and died" _(Leviticus 16:1), when the fate of Nadab and Abihu would naturally have led Aaron to desire a more perfect knowledge than had

AND AARON SHALL BRING THE BULLOCK OF THE SIN OFFERING WHICH [IS] FOR HIMSELF,.... In the same manner, and is to be understood in the same sense as in Leviticus 16:6; AND SHALL MAKE ATONEMENT FOR HIMSELF AND FOR HIS HOUSE: by a confession of words, as the Targum of Jonathan adds, and which Jarchi calls the second confession; for the same was made, and in the same words as before, Leviticus 16:6; AND SHALL KILL THE BULLOCK OF THE SIN OFFERING WHICH [IS] FOR HIMSELF; which was a type of Christ; the creature itself was, being strong for labour, and patient in bearing the yoke; Christ had a laborious service to perform, the work of man's redemption, and he was strong for it, able to go through it, and did not only readily take upon him the yoke of the law, and became o

Leviticus 16:1. _And the LORD spake unto Moses after the death of the two sons of Aaron, when they offered before the LORD, and died; and the LORD said unto Moses, Speak unto Aaron thy brother, that he come not at all times into the holy place within the vail before the mercy seat, which is upon the ark; that he die not: for I will appear in the cloud upon the mercy seat._ The way into the heavenly places was not yet made manifest; the inner shrine, called the holy of holies, was specially guarded from human access. No one could have said in those days, «Let us come boldly unto the throne of grace,» for only the high priest could approach the mercy seat at all, and he must go within the vail strictly in accordance with the instructions given to Moses by the Lord. Nadab and Abihu appear to have entered into the presence of God wrongfully. They had probably been drinking, for th

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.), presents the bullock as his own sin offering, and the two goats; on these he casts lots (to make atonement for him ...

According to the Mishna (Tal. Bab. _Yoma_), the high priest on presenting his bullock (Leviticus 16:6) made a confession of sin to which the people answered -Blessed be the Name of the glory of His Kingdom for ever and ever." He cast lots upon the goats, and declared which was for the Lord, and they answered -Blessed be the Name, etc." (fol. 39 _a_). He put a tongue-shaped piece of scarlet wool upon the head of the goat to be sent away, and came beside his bullock (Leviticus 16:11) the second time and repeated his confession, and they answered -Blessed be the Name, etc" (41 _b_). He killed the bullock, and caught the blood in a bowl; he took the censer and put burning coals from the altar in it (43 _b_). They brought him the cup and the censer; he filled his hands with incense and put it
