Sforno on Leviticus 16:9/ספורנו על ויקרא ט״ז:ט׳
אוְעָשָׂהוּ חַטָּאת. הַגּוֹרָל יַעֲשֶׂה אֶת הַשָּׂעִיר חַטָּאת, כְּאָמְרָם זִכְרוֹנָם לִבְרָכָה (יומא מ) ״הַגּוֹרָל עוֹשֶׂה חַטָּאת וְאֵין הַשֵּׁם עוֹשֶׂה חַטָּאת״.
1ועשהו חטאת, the lot determines which of the male goats is to be the sin offering for the altar. In the words of our sages (Yuma 40) “the lot determines which is the sin offering, and not the name.” [calling it such is meaningless unless confirmed by the lot drawn. Ed.]
