This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Lev_16:8 And Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats; one lot for the LORD, and the other lot for the scapegoat.
Ver. 8. Shall cast lots.] To show that nothing was done for us by Christ but what God’s hand and his counsel determined. {Act_4:28 1Pe_1:20} {See Trapp on "Act_4:28"} {See Trapp on "1Pe_1:20"}
For the scape-goat.] Which being a piacular or purging oblation, carried the people’s curse with it: as did likewise those Obominales among the Grecians; who, from this custom of the Hebrews, borrowed their yearly expiation of their cities: the manner whereof, somewhat like unto this. {See Trapp on "1Co_4:13"}
