Gill's Notes on the Bible

And they brought forth the he goats for the sin offering before the king and the congregation,.... Which were to make atonement for the sins of both:

and they laid their hands on them; signifying thereby that they were vicarious sacrifices to be offered up in their own room and stead, and that they deserved to die, as these creatures would: transferring as it were hereby their sins unto them, for which they were to be sacrificed, and to make atonement, as an emblem of the imputation of the sins of the Lord's people to Christ, sacrificed in their stead.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The he goats for the sin offering - Rather, “the he goats of the sin offering” - that portion of the Sin offering which had been reserved to the last.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 2 Chronicles 29:23. They laid their hands upon them — That is, they confessed their sin; and as they had by their transgression forfeited their lives, they now offer these animals to die as vicarious offerings, their life being taken for the life of their owners.
