Atonement Precedes Peace
Commentators like John Gill explain that the sin offering (the goat) was for the entire congregation and typified Christ's ultimate sacrifice. This offering for sin had to be made before the peace offerings (the lambs) could be presented. This order demonstrates a core spiritual truth: atonement for sin is the necessary foundation for having peace and fellowship with God.
