Leviticus 16:15

“Then shall he kill the goat of the sin offering that [is] for the people, etc.] That upon which the lot came for the Lord, (<031609>Leviticus 16:9); the high priest having sprinkled the blood of the bullock, came out of the most holy place, and went into the court of the tabernacle to the altar of burnt offering, and on the north side of that slew the goat for the sin offering, the place where all such were killed; (see <030111>Leviticus 1:11 6:25). This was a type of Christ, of his being slain, and made an offering for the sins of his people: and bring his blood within the vail: it being received into a basin, as before the blood of the bullock was, he took it, and with it went in a third…”

“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”), and then seven times upon the floor in front of it.

And whereas the high - priest is said to be allowed to enter into that place but once in a year, that is to be understood, but one day in a year, though there was occasion of going in and coming out more than once upon that day. Leviticus 16:16”

“Then shall: Lev 16:5-9; Heb 2:17, Heb 5:3, Heb 9:7, Heb 9:25, Heb 9:26 bring: Lev 16:2; Heb 6:19, Heb 9:3, Heb 9:7, Heb 9:12 Leviticus 16:16”

“After this he was to slay the he-goat as a sin-offering for the nation, for which purpose, of course, he must necessarily come back to the court again, and then take the blood of the goat into the most holy place, and do just the same with it as he had already done with that of the ox. A double sprinkling took place in both cases, first upon or against the capporeth, and then seven times in front of the capporeth. The first sprinkling, which was performed once only, was for the expiation of the sins, first of the high priest and his house, and then of the congregation of Israel ( Lev 4:7, and Lev 4:18); the second, which was repeated seven times, was for the expiation of the sanctuary from…”
