Its institution, together with the observance to which that day was devoted, was described (Le 16:29, 30). But additional offerings seem to be noticed, namely, the large animal sacrifice for a general expiation, which was a sweet savor unto the Lord, and the sin offering to atone for the sins that mingled with that day's services.
This site's exposition
you shall humble yourselves
on Numbers 29:7-11
On the day the nation's sin is put away, verse 11 still asks for "one male goat for a sin offering". Hebrews 10:1-4 takes up that repetition: "it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins."
This site's exposition
in addition to the sin offering of atonement
John Calvin ties the added sin offering to the fast: confessing guilt, he says, would torment the conscience without the hope of reconciliation. Matthew Henry gives another reason, that even repentance has faults needing atonement. In his words, we must repent that we have not repented better.
The record, by era
The Puritans and the Awakening2 voices
It likewise intimated the imperfection of the legal sacrifices, and their insufficiency to take away sin, that on the very day the sin-offering of atonement was offered, yet there must be another sin-offering. But what the law could not do, in that it was weak, that Christ has done.
