Leviticus 16:20-22

Living Bible

²⁰ “When he has completed the rite of atonement for the Holy Place, the entire Tabernacle, and the altar, he shall bring the live goat and, ²¹ laying both hands upon its head, confess over it all the sins of the people of Israel. He shall lay all their sins upon the head of the goat and send it into the desert, led by a man appointed for the task. ²² So the goat shall carry all the sins of the people into a land where no one lives,^[a] and the man shall let it loose in the wilderness.
