The choice of a male goat is significant, as it was considered a valuable animal, symbolizing the costliness of sin and the need for a worthy sacrifice. The use of a goat also connects to the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur) rituals, where one goat was sacrificed, and another was sent into the wilderness as a scapegoat, symbolizing the removal of sin from the community (<a href="/leviticus/16-7.htm">Leviticus 16:7-10</a>).<p><b>as a sin offering</b><br>The sin offering was a crucial part of the sacrificial system, designed to atone for unintentional sins and to purify the people and the sanctuary. This offering underscores the seriousness of sin and the need for purification before God. The sin offering points forward to the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ, who is described in the New Testament as the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world (<a href="/john/1-29.htm">John 1:29</a>).<p><b>to make atonement for you</b><br>Atonement involves reconciliation between God and humanity, achieved through the shedding of blood. In the Old Testament, atonement was a temporary covering of sin, requiring repeated sacrifices. This foreshadows the perfect and final atonement made by Jesus Christ on the cross, as described in <a href="/hebrews/9-12.htm">Hebrews 9:12-14</a>, where His sacrifice is once for all, providing eternal redemption.
