SEV Biblia, Chapter 16:3
Con esto entrará Aarón en el santuario: con un novillo por expiación, y un carnero en holocausto.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Leviticus 16:3
Verse 3. With a young bullock for a sin-offering] The bullock was presented as a sin-offering for himself, his family, the whole priesthood, and probably the Levites. The ram was for a burnt-offering, to signify that he and his associates were wholly consecrated, and to be wholly employed in this work of the ministry. The ceremonies with which these two sacrifices were accompanied are detailed in the following verses.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 3. Thus shall Aaron come into the holy [place] , etc.] The most holy place; and this was after he had offered the daily sacrifice of the morning, and had performed the rest of the service then done, as Gersom observes; such as burning the incense and trimming the lamps, for no offering preceded the daily sacrifice: with a young bullock for a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering ; which were both for himself and his family; and such were the weakness, imperfection, and insufficiency of the Levitical priesthood, and priests, that they were obliged first to offer for their own sins, and then for the sins of the people: the meaning is not, as Aben Ezra says, that he should bring the bullock into the holy place, only that he should first give of his own a bullock for a sin offering, to atone for himself, and for the priests; nor could it be the body of the bullock he brought, only the blood of it into the most holy place, where he entered not without blood, first with the blood of the bullock, and then with the blood of the goat; for the body of the bullock for a sin offering was burnt without the camp, and the body of the ram for the burnt offering was burnt upon the altar of burnt offering; (see Hebrews 9:7,12).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-14 - Without entering into particulars of the sacrifices on the great day of atonement, we may notice that it was to be a statute for ever, til that dispensation be at an end. As long as we are continually sinning we continually need the atonement. The law of afflicting our souls for sin, is a statue which will continue in force till we arrive where all tears, even those of repentance, will be wiped from our eyes. The apostle observes it as a proof that the sacrifices could not take awa sin, and cleanse the conscience from it, that in them there was remembrance made of sin every year, upon the day of atonement, He 10:1, 3. The repeating the sacrifices, showed there was in them but feeble effort toward making atonement; this could be done only by offering up the body of Christ once for all; and that sacrifice neede not to be repeated. (Le 16:15-34)
