Leviticus 16:3-10

LEVITICUS—NOTE ON Leviticus 16:3 One of the goats offered for the people’s sin purifies the tent of meeting, while the other is to be sent away alive into the wilderness. Azazel (vv. Leviticus 16:8, Leviticus 16:10) may have been a proper name. Or, it may be a compound word combining “goat” with “going away.” In that case it would mean “goat that goes away” (or “scapegoat”). Either way, the goat is sent out to take sin away from Israel.
