Sforno on Leviticus 16:11/ספורנו על ויקרא ט״ז:י״א
אוְכִפֶּר בַּעֲדוֹ. כְּבָר בָּא בַּקַּבָּלָה (יומא לו:) שֶׁשְּׁתֵּי הַכַּפָּרוֹת בַּעֲדוֹ הֵם כַּפָּרַת דְּבָרִים בְּוִדּוּי, וּלְפִיכָךְ הֵם קֹדֶם שְׁחִיטַת הַחַטָּאת.
1וכפר בעדו, we have already learned by tradition that both the atonements which are mentioned in connection with Aaron personally refer to the confession recited by Aaron, this is why they took place before the actual slaughtering of the sin offering.
