“One kid of the goats for a sin offering:”
Numbers 7:16 (KJV)
Commentary on Numbers 7:16
The kid of the goats for a sin offering addresses the reality that even in dedication, atonement is needed. Before communion with God (peace offering) or dedication (burnt offering), sin must be addressed. The sin offering blood was sprinkled on the altar's horns and poured at its base, signifying that sin's penalty is death and only blood can atone. The Reformed doctrine of substitutionary atonement is central—an innocent victim dies in place of the guilty. This prefigures Christ, our sin offering, who bore our guilt on the cross.
