“And he brought the people’s offering, and took the goat, which was the sin offering for the people, and slew it, and offered it for sin, as the first.”
Aaron then brought the offering that was for the people. He took the goat for the people's sin offering and slaughtered it and offered it for a sin offering as he did with the first one. Having completed his own sin offering and burnt offering, Aaron turns to the people's offerings. The people's sin offering (a male goat) is slaughtered and offered in the same way as Aaron's own sin offering. The phrase as he did with the first one confirms the procedural consistency: the same blood application, the same fat burning, the same atonement formula. The people's atonement follows the same path as the priest's own atonement.
