The bull for the sin offering
The Hebrew word for "bull" is "par," which signifies a young bull or steer. In the context of Leviticus, the bull represents a significant sacrifice, often associated with the priestly atonement for sin. The sin offering, or "chattat" in Hebrew, is a crucial element of the sacrificial system, symbolizing the removal of sin and impurity. The bull's role in this offering underscores the gravity of sin and the need for a substantial sacrifice to restore the relationship between God and His people.

and the goat for the sin offering
The "goat" or "sa'ir" in Hebrew, is another key animal in the sin offering, particularly on the Day of Atonement. The goat represents the community's sins, and its sacrifice is a vivid reminder of the need for communal repentance and purification. The dual mention of the bull and the goat highlights the comprehensive nature of atonement, covering both individual and collective transgressions.

whose blood was brought into the Most Holy Place
The "Most Holy Place," or "Kodesh HaKodashim" in Hebrew, is the innermost sanctuary of the Tabernacle, where God's presence dwelt. The act of bringing the blood into this sacred space signifies the direct appeal to God for forgiveness and cleansing. Blood, representing life, is the means by which atonement is made, emphasizing the seriousness of sin and the cost of reconciliation with God.

to make atonement
The Hebrew term "kaphar" means to cover or to make atonement. This concept is central to the sacrificial system, where the blood of the sacrifice covers the sins of the people, allowing them to be reconciled with God. Atonement is not merely a ritualistic act but a profound spiritual transaction that restores the covenant relationship between God and His people.

must be taken outside the camp
The requirement to take the remains "outside the camp" reflects the removal of sin and impurity from the community. In ancient Israel, the camp represented the dwelling place of God's people, and anything unclean or sinful was to be removed to maintain holiness. This act prefigures the ultimate sacrifice of Christ, who suffered outside the city gates to sanctify His people (Hebrews 13:12).

their hides, flesh, and dung are to be burned up
The complete burning of the animal's remains signifies the total eradication of sin. The "hides, flesh, and dung" represent all aspects of the sin offering, and their destruction outside the camp underscores the thoroughness of God's cleansing process. This act of burning is a powerful symbol of purification, illustrating that sin, once atoned for, is entirely consumed and removed from God's sight.

(27) And the bullock.--That is, the bodies of the sin offerings for the priests and the people (see Leviticus 16:5-6; Leviticus 16:9; Leviticus 16:11), whose blood the high priest carried into the Holy of Holies. (See Leviticus 16:14-15, with Leviticus 4:11-12.)

Shall one carry forth.--Better shall be carried forth. During the second Temple four men carried the carcases upon two poles to the place set aside outside Jerusalem for burning. (See Leviticus 4:11.) Hence the ancient Palestinian Targum translates it, "they shall be carried out on poles by the hands of the younger priests." As has already been remarked, the priest performed this part of the service immediately after the goat was dispatched by the messenger to the wilderness. Whilst the victims were being burned outside the camp the high priest read in the women's court the appointed lessons for the Day of Atonement (viz., Leviticus 23:26; Numbers 29:7-11) in the presence of the congregation, who were all standing, and at the conclusion of the reading pronounced the eight benedictions (1) on the Divine Law, (2) on the public service, (3) on confession, (4) forgiveness of sins, (5) on Jerusalem, (6) on the Temple, (7) on Israel, and (8) on the priesthood. . . .

Verses 27, 28. - As the blood of the bullock and the goat which had been offered in the special expiatory sacrifices of the day had been carried within the sanctuary (verses 14, 15), their bodies had to be burnt without the camp (Leviticus 4:12). Our Lord being the antitype, not only of Aaron as the Great High Priest, but also of the expiatory sacrifices as the Great Sin Offering, the author of the Epistle to the Hebrews notices that the fact of Christ's having "suffered without the camp" serves as an indication that his blood had in its atoning effects been carried by him into heaven, the antitype of the holy of holies (Hebrews 13:12). The flesh of the other goat, offered as a sin offering, would have been eaten by the priests in the evening, at a sacrificial meal (Leviticus 10:17, 18).
