one male goat
The phrase "one male goat" refers to the specific animal chosen for the sin offering. In Hebrew, the word for goat is "sa'ir," which often denotes a hairy or shaggy goat. The male goat was a common sacrificial animal in ancient Israelite worship, symbolizing strength and vitality. Historically, goats were abundant in the region and were used for various purposes, including milk, meat, and sacrificial offerings. The choice of a male goat for the sin offering underscores the importance of offering something valuable and significant to God, reflecting the seriousness of sin and the need for atonement.

for a sin offering
The term "sin offering" in Hebrew is "chatta'ah," which signifies an offering made to atone for sin. The sin offering was a crucial part of the sacrificial system established by God for the Israelites, as detailed in Leviticus. It was designed to purify the people from their sins and restore their relationship with God. The sin offering was not just about the act of sacrifice but also about the heart of repentance and the desire for reconciliation with God. In the broader scriptural context, the sin offering foreshadows the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ, who, as the Lamb of God, takes away the sin of the world. This offering points to the need for a perfect and final atonement, fulfilled in Christ, emphasizing the grace and mercy of God in providing a way for humanity to be cleansed from sin.
