“One kid of the goats for a sin offering; beside the sin offering of atonement, and the continual burnt offering, and the meat offering of it, and their drink offerings.”
One kid of the goats for a sin offering; beside the sin offering of atonement, and the continual burnt offering, and the meat offering of it, and their drink offerings — The Day of Atonement includes not one but two sin offerings: the goat presented here, and the elaborate sin offering ritual overseen by the high priest (Leviticus 16) in which two goats figure—one sacrificed, one sent to Azazel (the wilderness). This verse indicates that general sin offerings are also made alongside the high priest's special ritual, ensuring comprehensive expiation.
