What Does Leviticus 16:27 Mean The bull for the sin offering• The bull represents the substitute that bears the priest’s own guilt (Leviticus 4:3-12). • Only the highest-value animal was acceptable, emphasizing the costliness of sin (2 Samuel 24:24). • Hebrews 9:7 recalls that the high priest could not enter the Most Holy Place “without blood,” underscoring the necessity of this bull’s sacrifice. and the goat for the sin offering • Two goats were taken on the Day of Atonement—one for the LORD, one as the scapegoat (Leviticus 16:5-10). • This goat, offered “for the LORD,” typifies Christ bearing the people’s sins (John 1:29; 2 Corinthians 5:21). • Both the bull and the goat show that atonement covers priest and people alike (Hebrews 5:1-3). whose blood was brought into the Most Holy Place to make atonement • Leviticus 16:15-16 describes the blood sprinkled on and before the mercy seat, satisfying God’s righteous demands (Romans 3:25). • Life is in the blood (Leviticus 17:11); shedding it affirms that sin deserves death (Romans 6:23). • Hebrews 9:12 links this act to Jesus, who “entered the Most Holy Place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption.” must be taken outside the camp; • Sin is removed from the community’s midst, illustrating separation from God’s holiness (Numbers 5:2-3). • Exodus 29:14 required the same practice for the ordination offering, confirming a consistent pattern. • Hebrews 13:11-12 applies the principle to Jesus, who “suffered outside the gate” to sanctify believers. and their hides, flesh, and dung must be burned up. • Nothing of the sin offering is eaten; total destruction pictures complete judgment on sin (Leviticus 4:12; 6:30). • Burning the refuse prevents contamination and reminds Israel that sin leaves no room for compromise (Joshua 7:13). • Psalm 103:12 celebrates the result: “As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us.” summary Leviticus 16:27 shows that the bull and goat, once their atoning blood had entered the Most Holy Place, carried the community’s sin outside the camp to be wholly consumed by fire. The ritual highlights the seriousness of sin, the necessity of a substitutionary death, the removal of guilt from God’s people, and the complete judgment that sin warrants. Ultimately, the verse anticipates Christ, whose blood truly cleanses, whose body was taken outside the city, and whose sacrifice forever puts away sin for all who trust Him. (27) And the bullock.--That is, the bodies of the sin offerings for the priests and the people (see Leviticus 16:5-6; Leviticus 16:9; Leviticus 16:11), whose blood the high priest carried into the Holy of Holies. (See Leviticus 16:14-15, with Leviticus 4:11-12.)Shall one carry forth.--Better shall be carried forth. During the second Temple four men carried the carcases upon two poles to the place set aside outside Jerusalem for burning. (See Leviticus 4:11.) Hence the ancient Palestinian Targum translates it, "they shall be carried out on poles by the hands of the younger priests." As has already been remarked, the priest performed this part of the service immediately after the goat was dispatched by the messenger to the wilderness. Whilst the victims were being burned outside the camp the high priest read in the women's court the appointed lessons for the Day of Atonement (viz., Leviticus 23:26; Numbers 29:7-11) in the presence of the congregation, who were all standing, and at the conclusion of the reading pronounced the eight benedictions (1) on the Divine Law, (2) on the public service, (3) on confession, (4) forgiveness of sins, (5) on Jerusalem, (6) on the Temple, (7) on Israel, and (8) on the priesthood. . . . Verses 27, 28. - As the blood of the bullock and the goat which had been offered in the special expiatory sacrifices of the day had been carried within the sanctuary (verses 14, 15), their bodies had to be burnt without the camp (Leviticus 4:12). Our Lord being the antitype, not only of Aaron as the Great High Priest, but also of the expiatory sacrifices as the Great Sin Offering, the author of the Epistle to the Hebrews notices that the fact of Christ's having "suffered without the camp" serves as an indication that his blood had in its atoning effects been carried by him into heaven, the antitype of the holy of holies (Hebrews 13:12). The flesh of the other goat, offered as a sin offering, would have been eaten by the priests in the evening, at a sacrificial meal (Leviticus 10:17, 18).Parallel Commentaries ...
