Contextual Overview

20 After he hath cleaned the sanctuary, and the tabernacle, and the altar, then let him offer the living goat. 21 And putting both hands upon his head, let him confess all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their offences and sins. And praying that they may light on its head, he shall turn him out by a man ready for it, into the desert. 22 And when the goat hath carried all their iniquities into an uninhabited land, and shall be let go into the desert: 23 Aaron shall return into the tabernacle of the testimony, and putting off the vestments, which he had on him before when he entered into the sanctuary, and leaving them there, 24 He shall wash his flesh in the holy place, and shall put on his own garments. And after that he is come out and hath offered his own holocaust, and that of the people, he shall pray both for himself, and for the people. 25 And the fat that is offered for sins, he shall burn on the altar. 26 But he that hath let go the emissary goat, shall wash his clothes, and his body with water, and so shall enter into the camp. 27 But the calf and the buck goat, that were sacrificed for sin, and whose blood was carried into the sanctuary, to accomplish the atonement, they shall carry forth without the camp, and shall burn with fire: their skins and their flesh, and their dung. 28 And whosoever burneth them shall wash his clothes, and flesh with water: and so shall enter into the camp.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And he that burneth them shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water,.... In forty seahs of water, as the Targum of Jonathan; that is, everyone of those that burnt them, as Aben Ezra observes; for these being sin offerings, and had a connection with the sins of men, for whom they were offered, the persons concerned in the carrying and burning of them were equally defiled, and needed washing, as the man that led and let go the goat into the wilderness:

and afterwards he shall come into the camp; and have the liberty of conversation with men in civil and religious things, but not till evening; so long he was defiled; and according to the Misnah u from the time they got without the walls of the court; and after washing and bathing, and when the evening was come, they were clean; and might go where they pleased.

u Misn. Yoma, c. 6. sect. 7.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Both he who led away the goat, and he who burned the parts of the sin-offerings had to purify themselves. They who went out of the camp during a religious solemnity incurred uncleanness; hence, the need of purification.

Leviticus 16:27

Shall burn in the fire - i. e., consume in the fire, not burn sacrificially. See Leviticus 1:9.
