Aaron will throw lots for the two goats. One lot will be for the Lord. The other lot will be for Azazel.[a]

“Then Aaron will offer the goat chosen by the lot for the Lord. Aaron will make this goat a sin offering. 10 But the goat chosen by the lot for Azazel will be brought alive before the Lord. Then this goat will be sent out to Azazel in the desert. This is to make the people pure.
