Include
The directive to "include" signifies the importance of completeness in the sacrificial system. In the Hebrew context, the word used here implies an addition or incorporation, ensuring that nothing is left out of the prescribed offerings. This reflects God's desire for His people to follow His commands fully, emphasizing obedience and attention to detail in worship.

one male goat
The "one male goat" is significant in the sacrificial system as it represents a specific type of offering. In Hebrew, the term for goat often symbolizes sin and atonement. The choice of a male goat underscores the idea of strength and purity, as male animals were often considered more valuable in ancient sacrificial practices. This reflects the seriousness of sin and the need for a worthy sacrifice to address it.

as a sin offering
The "sin offering" is a critical component of the Levitical sacrificial system. In Hebrew, the term for sin offering (חַטָּאת, chatat) is directly linked to the concept of purification and atonement. This offering was specifically designed to address unintentional sins and restore the relationship between the Israelites and God. It highlights the gravity of sin and the necessity of a sacrificial system to maintain holiness and fellowship with God.

to make atonement
The phrase "to make atonement" is central to understanding the purpose of the sin offering. The Hebrew word for atonement (כָּפַר, kaphar) means to cover or to reconcile. This reflects the theological concept that sin creates a barrier between humanity and God, and atonement is necessary to bridge that gap. The act of atonement is a divine provision for restoring the broken relationship caused by sin, pointing ultimately to the work of Christ as the ultimate atonement.

for you
The phrase "for you" personalizes the sacrificial act, indicating that the atonement is not just a communal or abstract concept but is intended for each individual. It underscores the personal responsibility of each Israelite to seek reconciliation with God. This personal aspect of atonement foreshadows the New Testament teaching of individual salvation through Jesus Christ, who offers Himself as a personal Savior for each believer.
