2A Because of the negative situation of God's people, as portrayed in chapters 11 through 15, according to God's concept and in His divine economy there is the need of redemption (Col. 1:14; Eph. 1:7):
31 Because the Old Testament time was not the time for redemption to take place, a type, a shadow, of the coming redemption was needed; this shadow is the expiation in Leviticus 16.
42 The expiation accomplished through the animal sacrifices in the Old Testament is a type pointing to the redemption accomplished by Christ in the New Testament (Heb. 9:11-12).

5B The root of the Hebrew word translated "expiation" means "to cover"; the noun form of this word is rendered "expiation cover" in Leviticus 16:2 and Exodus 25:17:

72 In this way the situation of fallen man in relation to God was appeased but was not fully settled, until Christ came to accomplish redemption by offering Himself as the propitiatory sacrifice to take away man's sin (Heb. 9:12; 2:17; 1 John 2:2; 4:10; John 1:29).
8三 利未记十六章十五至十九节摆出了一幅遮罪之完成的图画:
8C Leviticus 16:15-19 presents a picture of the accomplishing of expiation, the covering of sins:
91 遮罪的完成,第一步是宰杀那为百姓作赎罪祭的山羊—15节上:
91 The first step for the accomplishing of expiation was to slaughter the goat of the sin offering for the people (v. 15a):
