Leviticus 16:6 - Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible

Bible Comments

“And Aaron shall present the bull ox of the purification for sin offering, which is for himself, and make atonement for himself, and for his house.”

First of all Aaron has to make atonement for himself and for his house by offering the bull ox for a purification for sin offering. At this stage, however, he merely ‘presents' it, although it is pointed out that its final purpose is that it might make atonement.

Leviticus 16:6

6 And Aaron shall offer his bullock of the sin offering, which is for himself, and make an atonement for himself, and for his house.
