Leviticus 16:20-22

New Catholic Bible

²⁰ The Scapegoat.“When he has finished making an atonement for the sanctuary, and for the tent of meeting, and for the altar, he shall bring out the live goat. ²¹ Aaron shall lay both of his hands upon the head of the live goat and confess all of the iniquities of the children of Israel over it, and all of their transgressions, and all of their sins, putting them upon the head of the goat. The goat shall then be sent away, led by the hand of a man appointed to lead it into the wilderness.^{[a] 22} The goat shall bear all of their iniquities into an isolated place. The man shall release it into the wilderness.
