Commentary
3 notes on this verseOne kid of the goats for a sin offering. Though these offerings of the princes were by way of thanksgiving, and to express their joy and gladness at the erection of the tabernacle, its altars, and the service thereof; yet as this might not be without sin, which attends the best and purest performances of men, a sin offering was required, teaching us to look to Christ, who was made an offering for sin, for the taking away the sins of our holy things.

This site's exposition
one male goat for a sin offering
Gill observes that a sin offering stands in a day of thanksgiving, since sin attends the best and purest services of men. He points the reader to Christ, made an offering for sin to take away the sins of holy things. Joy and confession share one altar.
