“Indeed vss 21 and 22 state that this goat is to bear away the sin of the people. Such a ritual would
illustrate vividly the physical removal of defilement from the camp to a solitary place where it would no longer infest the nation. A parallel to the scapegoat can be seen in the ritual for a recovered leper. Two birds were selected. One was to be killed and both
the leper and the living bird were to be touched with its blood. Then the living bird was released. This bird
carried away the evil, the leprosy itself, into the open field and then the leper was pronounced clean
(Lev 14:1–9).”

“The one goat which was ‘for Jehovah’ was offered as a sin-offering, by which
atonement was made. But the sins must also be visibly banished, and therefore
they were symbolically laid by confession on the other goat, which was then ‘sent away for Azazel’ into the wilderness.”

“Leviticus 16 does not give us a complete guide to the ceremonies of the Day of Atonement. The main outline is clear and we may well
argue that everything that is needed is said here. But it would not be possible to go through all the ritual with nothing more to guide us than the directions given in this chapter and the gaps might conceivably be
filled in more ways than one. To cite one small example, the high priest is directed to take a censer full of burning coals into the Holy of Holies together with incense with which to make a cloud of smoke (Lv. 16:12). But there is no direction about taking it out. Did censers pile up in the Holy of Holies from year to year? Did the high priest remove last
year’s censer when he took this year’s in? Or did he take his censer out at a later point in the day’s activities? There is no indication. The main points are quite clear and there would have been no difficulty in filling in the gaps by customary procedures. All that I am saying is that
there were gaps.” (Morris, The Atonement: Its Meaning and Significance, 74)

which dwells with them in the midst of their uncleannesses. 17 No one may be in the tent of meeting from the time he enters to make atonement in the Holy Place until he comes out and has made atonement for himself and for his house and for all the assembly of Israel. 18 Then he shall go out to the
altar that is before the Lord and make atonement for it, and shall take some of the blood of the bull and some of the blood of the goat, and put it on the horns of the altar all around. 19 And he shall sprinkle some of the blood on it
with his finger seven times, and cleanse it and consecrate it from the uncleannesses of the people of Israel.

AzazelAzazel
“The form of this word indicates intensity, and therefore signifies the total separation of sin: it was wholly carried away. It was important that the result of the sacrifices offered by the high priest alone in the sanctuary should be embodied in a visible
transaction, and hence the dismissal of the ‘scape-goat.’ It was of no consequence what became of it, as the whole import of the
transaction lay in its being sent into the wilderness bearing away sin. As the goat ‘for Jehovah’ was to witness to the demerit of sin and the need of the blood of atonement, so the goat ‘for Azazel’
was to witness to the efficacy of the sacrifice and the result of the shedding of blood in the taking away of sin.”

once been cleansed, would no longer have any consciousness of sins? 3 But in these sacrifices there is a reminder of sins every year. 4 For it is impossible for the blood of
