Numbers 28:15Meaning & Commentary from the Church Fathers

Alongside these offerings, the goat is also included, which is sacrificed for transgressions, symbolizing Christ. Our offering is rendered pleasing and acceptable to God due to the redemptive suffering of Christ. This reflects what the Savior conveyed to His holy Apostles: "Without Me you can do nothing" (John 15:5). Therefore, the fragrance of Christ's offering must be united with ours, creating a blend that elevates both to the Father. We can only be accepted through Christ alone. Palladius, you have articulated this beautifully.
