What two animals did the high priest take from the congregation of Israel on the Day of Atonement?

On the Day of Atonement, the high priest was to take from the congregation of Israel two young goats—one for a sin offering—and a ram for a burnt offering. This was commanded in verse 5, after he had washed and put on the holy garments, and before he offered a bullock for his own sin.

Les explains that before the high priest could begin the Day of Atonement, he had to wash repeatedly, almost like a surgeon preparing for surgery, depicting complete physical cleansing. Then he put on linen undergarments and holy garments. Verse 5 directed him to take from the congregation two young goats—one for a sin offering—and a ram for a burnt offering. But first, in verse 6, Aaron had to offer a bullock for his own sin offering, because even the high priest was a sinner and needed atonement for himself and his house. Only then could he proceed with the blood of the offering, stopping at the laver for cleansing, and bringing coals to the altar of incense, where the smoke served as his covering.

Leviticus 16:5

And he shall take of the congregation of the children of Israel two kids of the goats for a sin offering, and one ram for a burnt offering.
