CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

From what Dr Michael Heiser wrote that's linked above. I believe this is key to understanding the prophetic meaning:
"Curiously, two goats taken “from the congregation” were needed for a single sin offering (v. 5)"

I'll need to read more in Exodus and compare that to Leviticus (because I've never really read all that with the question in mind about the differences). Off-hand.....I wonder if Exodus was instructing them prior to their Golden Calf incident - which broke one covenant. In Exodus 34, there's a new (second) covenant mentioned between God and Moses.
I have read that most of the sacrifices that they were instructed to follow did have to do with their idolatry and reverence of certain animals (like their Golden Calf they formed and worshiped) - which Scripture seems to be pointing to in what you shared.
This was at the time when the Israelites were carrying the Ark of the Covenant - right (not during the temple era). Exodus was also prior to the "glory departing" that's mentioned in 1st Samuel 4:21 (which was after the Ark had been captured).
It may be interesting to do a study of the timeline of the Ark of the Covenant (God's presence).
