And one male goat
The Hebrew word for "male goat" is "שָׂעִיר" (sa'ir), which often signifies a hairy or shaggy goat. In the context of ancient Israelite sacrificial practices, the male goat was a common sin offering, symbolizing the removal of sin and impurity. The choice of a male goat underscores the seriousness of sin and the need for atonement. Historically, goats were abundant in the region, making them accessible for offerings. The male goat, being robust and strong, represents the strength needed to bear the weight of sin.

is to be presented
The act of presenting, or "קָרַב" (qarab) in Hebrew, implies drawing near or approaching. This word conveys the idea of coming into the presence of God with reverence and intentionality. The presentation of the offering is not a mere ritual but a profound act of worship and submission. It reflects the heart's desire to reconcile with God and seek His favor. In the broader scriptural context, presenting offerings was a way for the Israelites to maintain a covenant relationship with God.

as a sin offering
The term "sin offering" is translated from the Hebrew "חַטָּאת" (chatta'ah), which denotes an offering made to atone for sin. This offering was essential for the purification of the people, acknowledging human fallibility and the need for divine forgiveness. The sin offering was a crucial part of the sacrificial system, pointing to the ultimate sacrifice of Christ, who would take away the sins of the world. It highlights the gravity of sin and the necessity of atonement in maintaining holiness before God.

to the LORD
The phrase "to the LORD" emphasizes the direction and purpose of the offering. The Hebrew name for the LORD here is "יְהוָה" (YHWH), the covenant name of God, signifying His eternal and unchanging nature. Offerings were made to the LORD as an act of obedience and devotion, recognizing His sovereignty and holiness. This phrase reminds believers that all acts of worship and sacrifice are ultimately directed towards God, who is worthy of all honor and praise.

in addition to the regular burnt offering
The "regular burnt offering," or "עֹלָה" (olah), was a continual offering made daily, symbolizing the people's ongoing dedication and commitment to God. The addition of the sin offering to the regular burnt offering signifies the comprehensive nature of worship, which includes both atonement for sin and expressions of devotion. This practice underscores the importance of consistency in worship and the need for both repentance and dedication in the believer's life.

and its drink offering
The "drink offering," or "נֶסֶךְ" (nesek), was a libation poured out in conjunction with other offerings. It represents the outpouring of one's life and resources in service to God. The inclusion of the drink offering with the burnt and sin offerings illustrates the fullness of worship, involving both tangible sacrifices and symbolic acts of devotion. This practice reflects the holistic nature of worship, where every aspect of life is offered to God in gratitude and reverence.

Verse 15. - One kid of the goats. "One hairy one (שָׂעִיר) of the she goats (עֵן)." See on Numbers 7:16. This was probably offered first in order, according to the usual analogy of such sacrifices (Exodus 29:10-14). There is no authority for supposing that this sin offering superseded the one mentioned in Numbers 15:24 sq. This was essentially part of the customary routine of sacrifice; that was essentially occasional, and proper to some unforeseen contingency. It is likely enough that the national conscience would in fact content itself with the first, but it does not in the least follow that such was the intention of the legislator.
