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 time into the most holy place: and do with that blood as he did with the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it upon the mercy seat, and before the mercy seat; it should be rendered “toward the mercy seat” it is by Noldius f566; (see Gill on “<031614>Leviticus 16:14”).
