They opened and said, etc.: They also opened and said: At every time the righteous depart from the world, judgments depart from the world, and the death of the righteous atones for the sins of the generation. And that is why we read the section of the sons of Aaron on Yom Kippur, so that it may be atonement for the sins of Israel. The Holy One, Blessed Be He, said: Seek the death of these righteous, and it shall be reckoned to you as if you were offering sacrifices on this day to atone for yourselves. We learned that as long as Israel is in exile and is unable to offer sacrifices on this day, and is unable to offer the two goats, they shall have the remembrance of the two sons of Aaron, and atonement shall be made for them.
