One animal would be slain to picture substitutionary dealth and the other sent to the wilderness to represent removal of sin. ... This goat pictured the substitutionary bearing and total removal of sin which would later be fully accomplished by Jesus Christ. だって。(John MacArthur Study BIble より)
16:16 "So he shall make atonement for the Holy Place, because of the uncleanness of the children of Israel, and because of their transgressions, for all their sins; and so he shall do for the tabernacle of meeting which remains among them in the midst of their uncleanness.
英語の聖書で読むと、Day of Atonementということが、すごくクローズアップされているけれど、日本語の聖書だと、「贖いの日」みたいな書き方はされていないね。
もっとも、英語の聖書でも、本文にDay of Atonementという表現が出てくるわけではなく、そういう見出しがついているんだけど。
リカバリーバイブルの欄外には、The Day of Atonement is a thematic pivot point for the book of Leviticus. For the Israelites who participated in the ceremony with hearts of faith, this solemn day provided assurance that their past sins had been completely dealt with . Today, through the sacrificial work of Christ, we too can find assurance of forgiveness and a right standing before God. We can leave our past failures behind to build a new life govened by obedience to God's program. とあった。ふむ。
