The Ritual of the Scapegoat (Azazel)

20

“When he has made an end of atoning for the Holy Place, the Tent of Meeting, and the altar, he shall present the live goat.

21

Aaron shall lay both his hands on the head of the live goat, and confess over him all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions, even all their sins; and he shall put them on the head of the goat, and shall send him away into the wilderness by the hand of a man who is in readiness.

22

The goat shall carry all their iniquities on himself to a solitary land, and he shall let the goat go in the wilderness.

23

“Aaron shall come into the Tent of Meeting, and shall take off the linen garments, which he put on when he went into the Holy Place, and shall leave them there.

24

Then he shall bathe himself in water in a holy place, and put on his garments, and come out and offer his burnt offering and the burnt offering of the people, and make atonement for himself and for the people.

25

The fat of the sin offering he shall burn on the altar.

26

“He who lets the goat go for the scapegoat shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp.

27

The bull for the sin offering, and the goat for the sin offering, whose blood was brought in to make atonement in the Holy Place, shall be carried outside the camp; and they shall burn their skins, their flesh, and their dung with fire.

28

He who burns them shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp.
