And on the second day thou shalt offer a kid of the goats without blemish for a sin offering,.... Jarchi observes, that this was not in the tabernacle, but ordered to be in future time by him that speaks; instead of this, another ram was appointed by the law, Exo 29:15, this shows the ceremonial law to be changeable, and now abolished: this was typical of Christ, without spot and blemish, and yet figured by the goat, being made sin for his people:
and they shall cleanse the altar, as they did cleanse it with the bullock; See Gill on Eze 43:20.

22. The sin-offering for the second and following days was a he-goat—so read for “kid of the goats.” On “cleanse” cf. Eze_43:20. The ceremonies with the blood and the burning outside were no doubt the same as those on the first day, Eze_43:20-21.

(22) A kid of the goats.—More exactly, a buck of the goats. This was the sin offering prescribed for a ruler (Lev_4:22-23). The expression “as they did with the bullock,” implies that the ritual was the same, and the flesh burned in the same way. At the consecration of the altar in Exo_29:36, a bullock was required for the sin offering on each of the seven days for the consecration of both the altar and the priests.

The Pulpit Commentary 1880 · Public Domain The second day"s ceremonial should begin with the offering…
The second day"s ceremonial should begin with the offering of a kid of the goats (rather, a he-goat) without blemish for a sin offering, the ritual observed being probably the same as that of the preceding day. The substitution of a "he-goat," the offering for a ruler who sins, (Lev_4:23, Lev_4:24) instead of a "young bullock," which formed the first day"s offering, was a deviation from the ritual prescribed for the consecration of the Mosaic altar and priesthood. (Exo_29:36) The object of the offering of the "he-goat" was the same as that of the offering of the "bullock," viz. to cleanse the altar; not, however, as if the previous day"s cleansing had been insufficient and required to be supplemented, or had already become inefficient so as to call for renewal, but in the sense of recalling the meaning and impression of the previous day"s ceremonial, and so in a manner linking it on with the several rites of the succeeding days.
