Commentary on Leviticus 16:3

Theological / Devotional

The holy place. Throughout this chapter Moses calls the second apartment “the holy place”; the first apartment, the “tabernacle of the congregation.”

A sin offering. When sin offerings and burnt offerings were presented together, the sin offering was brought first, and demanded the nobler victim. Hence the sin offering was a bullock, the burnt offering a ram.
