took the goat, which was the sin offering

on Leviticus 9:15-17

Aaron now repeats for the people what he did for himself, and the text says as the first instead of describing it again. The meat offering follows, a handful burnt on the altar, and verse 17 adds that all of it was beside the burnt sacrifice of the morning. The daily offering of Exodus 29:38-42 kept its place on the greatest day the camp had seen, so the extraordinary service was laid on top of the ordinary one.
