Include
The directive to "include" signifies the importance of completeness in the sacrificial offerings. In the Hebrew context, the word used here implies an addition that is necessary and integral to the whole. This reflects the comprehensive nature of God's instructions to His people, ensuring that nothing is left out in their worship and atonement practices. It underscores the meticulous care God desires in the observance of His commands, pointing to His holiness and the need for His people to approach Him with reverence and obedience.

one male goat
The specification of "one male goat" is significant in the sacrificial system. In Hebrew, the word for goat, "sa'ir," often symbolizes sin and atonement. The male goat was commonly used in sin offerings, as seen in Leviticus 16 during the Day of Atonement. This particular animal was chosen for its representation of strength and vitality, qualities that are offered up to God in substitution for the sins of the people. The singularity of "one" emphasizes the sufficiency of the sacrifice, pointing forward to the ultimate sacrifice of Christ, who is the one sufficient offering for all sin.

to make atonement
The phrase "to make atonement" is central to understanding the purpose of the sacrificial system. The Hebrew word "kaphar" means to cover or to reconcile. Atonement involves the covering of sin, allowing for reconciliation between God and His people. This act of atonement is a foreshadowing of the ultimate atonement made by Jesus Christ on the cross, where His blood covers our sins and reconciles us to God. It highlights the seriousness of sin and the necessity of a mediator, which in the Old Testament was symbolized through animal sacrifices.

for you
The personal nature of "for you" indicates that the atonement is not just a communal or national act but also an individual one. Each person is in need of atonement, and the sacrificial system provided a means for individuals to be reconciled to God. This personal aspect of atonement is fulfilled in the New Testament through Jesus Christ, who died for each of us individually. It reminds us of the personal relationship God desires with each believer and the personal responsibility we have to seek His forgiveness and grace.
