I think the Lev 16:5,8-10 gives us insight to the two goats on the Day of Atonement.
Both goats serve as the single sin offering.
Lev 16:5 'And from the company of the sons of Israel he taketh two kids of the goats for a sin-offering, and one ram for a burnt-offering;
Lev 16:8-9 'And Aaron hath given lots over the two goats, one lot for Jehovah, and one lot for a goat of departure (removal); (9) and Aaron hath brought near the goat on which the lot for Jehovah hath gone up, and hath made it a sin-offering.
The goat that was not slain is still part of the single sin offering
Lev 16:10 'And the goat on which the lot for a goat of departure hath gone up is caused to stand living before Jehovah to make atonement by it, to send it away for a goat of departure (removal) into the wilderness.
I think we can surmise the blood from goat that was slain provided forgiveness of sins, for without blood there is no forgiveness of sin.
And the goat that was kept alive and serving as part of the single sin offering on this Day illustrates to the people the guilt of their sins have been carried away from them.
The Day of Atonement is significant that it represents God's giving of His Son for our sins, to atone by His innocent blood providing for our complete forgiveness and the removal of sin's guilt from our conscience that we may serve God.
The Day that Jesus died for our sins on a cross and carried away our sins is in essence the Day of Atonement, with God being the One who laid upon Him the sins of us all. We are literally in God's presence and He in ours. We are joined in spirit, one. Forgiven with no guilt of sin! Praise our Living God who loves us and has such wondrous mercy!
1Jn 3:5 And you know that He was manifested to take away our sins, and in Him there is no sin.
1Pe 2:24 who Himself bore (took away, carried) our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—by whose stripes you were healed.
God Bless
