How does Aharon render the goat a Chatas?

1.

Rashi (citing Yoma 39a): By placing the lot on its head and announcing 'la'Hashem Chatas!' 1

2.

R. Bachye (in Pasuk #7 - citing Yoma 40b) and Seforno: It is the Goral that makes it a Chatas 2 (and not merely calling it a Chatas). 3

3.

Oznayim la'Torah: The Torah means that Aharon proceeds to perform the Avodah of a Chatas - by sprinkling ite blood (in the prescribed manner) and burning the Emurim.

1

See Sifsei Chachamim and Torah Temimah, note 41.

2

R. Bachye and Seforno: As the Gemara explicitly states in Yoma, 40b. See Torah Temimah, note 42.

Indeed, the the Gemara there states that the Goral is crucial to the Avodah, and without it, the Avodah is Pasul.
