Include
The directive to "include" signifies the necessity and completeness of the sacrificial system established by God. In Hebrew, the word used here implies an addition or incorporation, emphasizing that this offering is not optional but an integral part of the ritual. This reflects the comprehensive nature of God's instructions to His people, ensuring that every aspect of their worship is covered and that nothing is left to human discretion.

one male goat
The specification of "one male goat" as the offering is significant. In Hebrew, the word for goat is "sa'ir," which often denotes a hairy or shaggy goat, a common sacrificial animal in ancient Israel. The male goat, in particular, was seen as a symbol of strength and vitality. This choice underscores the seriousness of sin and the need for a robust offering to atone for it. Historically, goats were readily available and valuable, making them a fitting representation of the costliness of sin and the need for a worthy sacrifice.

as a sin offering
The term "sin offering" in Hebrew is "chatat," which means to purify or cleanse. This offering was specifically designed to atone for unintentional sins, highlighting God's provision for human frailty and His desire for His people to remain in right standing with Him. The sin offering is a profound reminder of the holiness of God and the separation that sin causes between God and humanity. It points forward to the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ, who would become the perfect sin offering for all humanity.

to make atonement
The phrase "to make atonement" comes from the Hebrew word "kaphar," which means to cover or to reconcile. This concept is central to the sacrificial system, as it signifies the covering of sin and the restoration of the relationship between God and His people. Atonement is not merely about forgiveness but about restoring the broken fellowship caused by sin. This anticipates the New Testament revelation of Christ's atoning work on the cross, which fully reconciles believers to God.

for you
The personal nature of "for you" emphasizes the individual and communal aspect of atonement. Each member of the community is implicated in the need for atonement, and the offering is made on behalf of the people. This underscores the personal responsibility each person has in maintaining their relationship with God and the communal responsibility to uphold the covenant. It is a reminder that while the sacrificial system was a communal act, it had personal implications for each Israelite, just as Christ's sacrifice is both a personal and communal act of redemption for believers today.
