Contextual Overview

⁵ And he shall receive from the whole multitude of the children of Israel two buck goats for sin, and one ram for a holocaust. ⁶ And when he hath offered the cattle and prayed for himself and for his own house: ⁷ He shall make the two buck goats to stand before the Lord in the door of the tabernacle of the testimony. ⁸ And casting lots upon them both, one to be offered to the Lord, and the other to be the emissary goat: ⁹ That whose lot fell to be offered to the Lord, he shall offer for sin. ¹⁰ But that whose lot was to be the emissary goat, he shall present before the Lord, that he may pour prayers upon him, and let him go into the wilderness. ¹¹ After these things are duly celebrated, he shall offer the calf: and praying for himself and for his own house, he shall immolate it. ¹² And taking the censer, which he hath filled with the burning coals of the altar, and taking up with his hands the compounded perfume for incense, he shall go in within the veil into the holy place: ¹³ That when the perfumes are put upon the fire, the cloud and vapour thereof may cover the oracle, which is over the testimony, and he may not die. ¹⁴ He shall take also of the blood of the calf, and sprinkle with his finger seven times towards the propitiatory to the east.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Aaron shall offer his bullock of the sin offering, which [is] for himself,.... That is, bring it into the court, and present it before the Lord in order to its being slain and sacrificed; for as yet it was not killed, and so could not be offered on the altar, see

Leviticus 16:11; the place where the bullock was set was between the porch and the altar, his head in the south, and his face to the west, and the priest stood in the east, and his face to the west, and laid both his hands upon him, and confessed his sins, and his family's x: and this is said to be "for himself"; not to atone for him, which is afterwards expressed, but which should come of him or from him, and not from the congregation, as Jarchi explains it; or as the Targum of Jonathan more clearly, which is of his own money, wholly at his own expense, and not the people's:

and make atonement for himself, and for his house; for himself, for his own personal sins and for his family's sins, those of his wife and children; and it may be extended to all the priests of the house of Aaron; and some say to the Levites also, as Aben Ezra notes, though he disapproves of it: by this it appears, that Christ, the antitype of Aaron, is a more perfect and excellent priest than he, who needed not to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for his people's, for this he did once, when he offered up himself, Hebrews 7:27; and which was for his whole family, and them only, the elect of God, consisting of Jews and Gentiles; part of which is in heaven, and part on earth, and both were reconciled, or atonement made for them, by the blood of Christ; whose house and family men appear to be, when they believe and hope in him, and hold fast their faith and hope; and who are made by him priests as well as kings to God; see Ephesians 3:15 Revelation 1:6.

x Misn. Yoma, c. 3. sect. 8.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Shall offer - Rather, shall present, as in Leviticus 16:7, Leviticus 16:10, etc. The word expresses the formal act of placing the victims in front of the entrance of the tabernacle.

For himself, and for his house - i. e. for himself as the high priest and all the common priests. Compare Leviticus 9:7-14 note.
