Two Goats, One Offering
Commentators explain that the two goats should be viewed as a single, unified offering. Though two animals are used, they represent one complete act of atonement. One goat's death signifies that sin has been paid for, while the other's release signifies that sin has been completely carried away, illustrating the comprehensive nature of God's forgiveness.
