Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Leviticus 16:9
And Aaron shall bring the goat upon which the LORD’s lot fell, and offer him [for] a sin offering.
So the lot is said to
fall, Jon 1:7; Act 1:26. Heb. went up, to wit, out of the vessel, into which the lots were put, and out of which they were brought up.

And Aaron shall bring the goat on which the Lord’s lot fell,…. Alluding to the manner of taking out the lot by the high priest, who, when he took it out, lifted it up with his hand, and then let it down, and put it on the head of the goat; after which he brought it to the altar to be sacrificed:
and offer him [for] a sin offering; an offering for the sins of the people, as a type of Christ, who made his soul an offering for sin for his people; but this was not done by Aaron until he had brought and killed the sin offering for himself; after which we read of killing this sin offering for the people, Le 16:11; wherefore some take this offering here to be no other than a setting apart or devoting the goat for this service.

(9) The goat upon which the Lords lot fell.Immediately after the lots decided the destiny of the two goats they were distinguished from each other by peculiar marks. The one which was for Jehovah had a red woollen thread tied around its neck, whilst the one for Azazel had the scarlet thread tied on the head or on the horns.
And offer him for a sin offering.Better, and shall present, or appoint it for a sin offering (see Lev. 16:6), as the actual offering of it up took place afterwards. (See Lev. 16:15.)

9. Lot fell Hebrew, came up out of the urn.
Sin offering All the sins of Israel, without exception, were atoned for this day by the offering of the two goats on the condition of repentance, even sins not committed inadvertently, and therefore excluded from atonement by sacrifice on other days of the year. See Lev 4:2, note. The man who had sinned “ with a high hand” that is, defiantly, with open contempt of Jehovah and his law was either suddenly cut off (Num 16:30) before the day of atonement or hardened himself beyond repentance. See chap. iv, including note 3.

“And Aaron shall present the goat on which the lot fell for Yahweh, and offer him for a purification for sin offering.”
This is a summary description of what is to happen to the two he-goats, preparing for the detail which would follow. It is a favourite device in the Pentateuch for preparing the listener for what is coming and implanting the idea in the mind. Then as the reading of the narrative goes on the hearer is prepared for the important points coming. The goat selected for Yahweh is now offered for a purification for sin offering, but note that the other he-goat is seen as part of that offering (Lev 16:5). The two must be seen as part of the one offering, and the way they are dealt with connected together in one picture. (If the High Priest had been able to take one he-goat and divide it in two while keeping half alive, that is what he would have been called on to do).

Lev 16:9 And Aaron shall bring the goat upon which the LORD’S lot fell, and offer him [for] a sin offering.
Ver. 9. The goat. ] A type of Christ’s mortal humanity, say some, as the scape goat of his immortal deity: or the one of his death, the other of his resurrection. Others are of the opinion that hereby was signified that the deity of Christ dwelling in light inaccessible gave to his humanity sufficient strength for the enduring of those things, which no other creature could have come near, for the full expiating of our sins. So he telleth the Jews first, and afterwards his disciples, “Whither I go ye cannot come.” Joh 8:22 ; Joh 13:36

fell. Hebrew “came up”: i.e. out of the bag containing the Urim and Thummim. No other means of taking Jehovah’s lot, or judgment. (See note on Exo 28:30.)
offer = “make him [sin]”. (2Co 5:21.)
