What Does Leviticus 16:9 Mean?
The goat on which the LORD's lot falls is sacrificed before the altar, like Aaron's bullock, as a sin offering. Through this offering, the blood of the animal covers and makes atonement for the sin of the people.
This sacrifice follows the pattern established in earlier offerings: the animal dies in place of the people, bearing the penalty so that Israel may be forgiven and restored to relationship with God.
