one male goat
The phrase "one male goat" refers to a specific type of animal used in ancient Israelite sacrificial practices. In Hebrew, the word for goat is "שָׂעִיר" (sa'ir), which often denotes a hairy or shaggy goat. Goats were common in the agrarian society of ancient Israel and were considered valuable livestock. The male goat, in particular, was often used in sacrificial rituals due to its significance in atonement practices. Historically, goats were seen as symbols of strength and vitality, and their use in offerings underscored the importance of the sacrifice being made. The choice of a male goat for this offering highlights the need for a pure and unblemished sacrifice, reflecting the seriousness of sin and the need for atonement.

for a sin offering
The term "for a sin offering" translates the Hebrew word "חַטָּאת" (chatta'ath), which refers to a specific type of sacrifice intended to atone for sin. The sin offering was a crucial part of the Levitical sacrificial system, designed to restore the relationship between the Israelites and God when it had been disrupted by sin. This offering was not just about the physical act of sacrifice but was deeply symbolic of repentance and the desire for reconciliation with God. The sin offering served as a foreshadowing of the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ, who, according to Christian belief, became the final and perfect sin offering for humanity. In the historical context, the sin offering was a reminder of the holiness of God and the need for His people to live in accordance with His laws. It emphasized the gravity of sin and the mercy of God in providing a means for atonement.
