Goats, as in Leviticus 16:21, 22, signify faith. Because man is regenerated by the Lord by the truth of faith, and consequently, his sins are removed and cast into hell, therefore it is said that "Aaron made the goat bear upon him all the iniquities of the children of Israel unto the land of separation, or into the wilderness." From correspondences, a goat signifies the natural man. The goat which was sacrificed, as in Leviticus 16:5-10, signifies the natural man regarding a part purified, and the goat which was sent into the wilderness regarding the natural man not purified.

7827. 'He said, This month shall be for you the head of months' means that this state is the chief of all states. This is clear from the meaning of 'month' as the end of the state that is previous and the beginning of the one that comes next, thus a new state, dealt with in 3814; and from the meaning of 'the head', when used in reference to months of the year and in the internal sense to states of life, as the chief one. From this it is clear that 'this month shall be for you the head of months' means that this state is the chief of all states. The reason why that state is the chief one of all is contained in the words that come next.
