They are semantic issues with these translations, so Numbers 7:16 in the King James, it translates שעיר into kid but in Leviticus 16:10 שעיר is translated goat (a full grown one). The kid of a goat is called a גדי = αἰγίσκος. Since αἰγῶν is of epicene gender, to mark the male, a word is added, cf.
ταῦρος βοῦς (Iliad 20.495).
Herodotus, The Histories 3.112
For it is the most fragrant thing produced in the most malodorous; for it is found in he-goats' (
αἰγῶν τράγων) beards
Numbers 7:16 - One he-goat for purification (καθάρσει, לחטאת)
Numbers 7:21 - For a burnt-sacrifice (πυρουμένῳ, πυροῦν, לעלה)
They didn't burn he-goats because goatskin (δορά τράγου, אדרת שער) was a commodity.
So because of a misreading, millions of kid-goats where sacrificed. Perhaps Jesus was an animal-rights activist and wanted to end all this animal-sacrifices.
