The congregation of Israel refers to the entire community, emphasizing that the Day of Atonement was a national event. The high priest acted on behalf of all the people, highlighting the collective responsibility for sin. This communal approach is seen throughout the Old Testament, where the actions of individuals often had implications for the entire community (e.g., <a href="/joshua/7.htm">Joshua 7:1-26</a>).<p><b>two male goats for a sin offering</b><br>The two male goats are central to the ritual of Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. One goat was sacrificed as a sin offering, symbolizing the payment for the people's sins. The other, known as the scapegoat, was sent into the wilderness, symbolically carrying away the sins of Israel (<a href="/leviticus/16-10.htm">Leviticus 16:10</a>). This dual aspect of atonement—sacrifice and removal of sin—foreshadows the work of Jesus Christ, who both paid the penalty for sin and removed it from believers (<a href="/hebrews/9-28.htm">Hebrews 9:28</a>).<p><b>and one ram for a burnt offering</b><br>The ram for a burnt offering signifies complete dedication and consecration to God. Unlike the sin offering, which dealt with atonement, the burnt offering was entirely consumed by fire, representing total surrender and devotion. This offering underscores the need for holiness and commitment to God following the cleansing from sin. The burnt offering is a recurring theme in the Old Testament, seen in the sacrifices of Noah (<a href="/genesis/8-20.htm">Genesis 8:20</a>) and Abraham (<a href="/genesis/22-13.htm">Genesis 22:13</a>), and it points to the ultimate sacrifice of Christ, who offered Himself wholly to God (<a href="/ephesians/5-2.htm">Ephesians 5:2</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/a/aaron.htm">Aaron</a></b><br>The high priest who performs the atonement rituals on the Day of Atonement.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_congregation_of_the_israelites.htm">The Congregation of the Israelites</a></b><br>The community of Israel from whom the offerings are taken.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/t/two_male_goats.htm">Two Male Goats</a></b><br>Used for the sin offering, one of which is sacrificed, and the other is sent into the wilderness as the scapegoat.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/o/one_ram.htm">One Ram</a></b><br>Used for the burnt offering, symbolizing complete dedication to God.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_day_of_atonement.htm">The Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur)</a></b><br>A significant annual event for the Israelites, focusing on atonement and reconciliation with God.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/t/the_seriousness_of_sin.htm">The Seriousness of Sin</a></b><br>The need for a sin offering highlights the gravity of sin and the necessity of atonement.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/s/substitutionary_atonement.htm">Substitutionary Atonement</a></b><br>The two goats represent the concept of substitution, where one bears the sin and the other carries it away, prefiguring Christ's work.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/c/community_responsibility.htm">Community Responsibility</a></b><br>The offerings are taken from the congregation, emphasizing communal involvement in atonement and worship.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/c/complete_dedication.htm">Complete Dedication</a></b><br>The burnt offering symbolizes total surrender and dedication to God, a call for believers to offer themselves wholly to God.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/c/christ_as_fulfillment.htm">Christ as Fulfillment</a></b><br>Jesus fulfills the roles of both the sin offering and the scapegoat, providing complete atonement for humanity.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_leviticus_16.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Leviticus 16</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/who_are_paul_and_timothy_in_the_bible.htm">Is Jesus superior to Levitical sacrifices?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/what_is_a_trespass_offering.htm">What is a trespass offering?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/how_does_'lamb_of_god'_fit_ot_laws.htm">How does calling Jesus 'the Lamb of God' who removes sin (John 1:29) fit with conflicting Old Testament sacrificial laws?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/why_does_amos_5_25_deny_wilderness_sacrifices.htm">Amos 5:25 - How can Amos assert that Israel did not offer sacrifices in the wilderness when Exodus and Leviticus detail extensive sacrificial ordinances?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/leviticus/16.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(5) <span class= "bld">And he shall take of the congregation.</span>--On this occasion the high priest himself had to officiate, by virtue of his being the chief mediator between God and His people.<p><span class= "bld">Two kids of the goats.</span>--Better, <span class= "ital">two shaggy he-goats. </span>(See <a href="/leviticus/4-23.htm" title="Or if his sin, wherein he has sinned, come to his knowledge; he shall bring his offering, a kid of the goats, a male without blemish:">Leviticus 4:23</a>.) These two goats, which were the sin offering for the people, and the ram, which was their burnt offering, were purchased with the money of the public some time before the Day of Atonement. During the second Temple the two goats had to be alike in value, equal in size, and of the same colour. If one of them happened to die after the decision of the lot, a new pair had to be purchased, and the surviving one of the original pair was kept and properly fed till it became ritually defective, whereupon it was sold, and the money paid into the sacred treasury.<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/leviticus/16.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 5.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">And he shall take of the congregation of the children of Israel two kids of the goats.</span> It was necessary that the sacrifice offered for a person or class of persons should be provided by the offerer or offerers.
