Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Numbers 28:15
And one kid of the goats for a sin offering unto the LORD shall be offered, beside the continual burnt offering, and his drink offering.
One kid of the goats; a he-goat. See Num 15:24. Unto the Lord; not unto the moon, to which the Gentiles offered it.

And one kid of the goats, for a sin offering unto the Lord, shall be offered,…. This was an offering of a different sort, not a burnt offering, but a sin offering, typical of Christ, who was made an offering for sin; and it was of that sort of sin offerings which were to be eaten, as the Jews say h; for there were some that were not, even such whose blood was brought into the sanctuary, Le 6:30. Maimonides i observes, that this phrase, “unto the Lord”, is very particular and expressive, and that the design of it is, to observe that it was offered to the Lord, and not to the moon, as the Egyptians did:
besides the continual burnt offering, and his drink offering; though the burnt offering of this day was so very large, consisting of so many creatures; and besides that a goat for a sin offering; yet the daily sacrifice was not to be omitted, and what belonged to that.

Num 28:15. One kidunto the Lord Grotius judiciously observes, that the words to the Lord are here added to make the Hebrews more sensible that it was to the true God they were now to offer, and not to the moon; of which planet, the kid, with his two horns, being an emblem, was therefore chosen for a sacrifice: God thus reclaiming to himself what idolatry had superstitiously sanctified.
REFLECTIONS.1. On the sabbath, the daily sacrifice, with its oblations, was doubled; intimating to us the necessity of improving these holy days, by repeated attendance at God’s house, and double diligence in the exercises of religious conversation, meditation, prayer, and praise. On the new moons, besides the daily sacrifice, two bullocks, a ram, and seven lambs were offered, with their several meat and drink-offerings, and a kid of the goats for a sin-offering. Even when we are offering sacrifices of praise and thanksgiving, it is the sin-offering of our Divine Lord once offered, which makes all our services pleasing to God. Our best sacrifices themselves need this atonement. 2. On the seven days after the passover, was the feast of unleavened bread; the first and last of which were days of holy convocation: and every day of the seven, the same sacrifices were repeated as on the new moon. They need not grudge the number or value of their sacrifices, when they considered the deliverance they commemorated. A soul delivered by Jesus Christ from the bondage of corruption, thinks he can never enough express his gratitude to his Redeemer.
