And all the women who were willing and had the skill spun the goat hair.

They made curtains of goat hair for the tent over the tabernacle—eleven altogether.

“‘If the offering is a burnt offering from the flock, from either the sheep or the goats, you are to offer a male without defect.

“‘If your offering is a goat, you are to present it before the Lord,

and the sin he has committed becomes known, he must bring as his offering a male goat without defect.

He is to lay his hand on the goat’s head and slaughter it at the place where the burnt offering is slaughtered before the Lord. It is a sin offering.

and the sin they have committed becomes known, they must bring as their offering for the sin they committed a female goat without defect.

As a penalty for the sin they have committed, they must bring to the Lord a female lamb or goat from the flock as a sin offering; and the priest shall make atonement for them for their sin.

“Say to the Israelites: ‘Do not eat any of the fat of cattle, sheep or goats.

Then say to the Israelites: ‘Take a male goat for a sin offering, a calf and a lamb—both a year old and without defect—for a burnt offering,

Aaron then brought the offering that was for the people. He took the goat for the people’s sin offering and slaughtered it and offered it for a sin offering as he did with the first one.

When Moses inquired about the goat of the sin offering and found that it had been burned up, he was angry with Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron’s remaining sons, and asked,

Since its blood was not taken into the Holy Place, you should have eaten the goat in the sanctuary area, as I commanded.”

From the Israelite community he is to take two male goats for a sin offering and a ram for a burnt offering.

Then he is to take the two goats and present them before the Lord at the entrance to the tent of meeting.

He is to cast lots for the two goats—one lot for the Lord and the other for the scapegoat.

Aaron shall bring the goat whose lot falls to the Lord and sacrifice it for a sin offering.

But the goat chosen by lot as the scapegoat shall be presented alive before the Lord to be used for making atonement by sending it into the wilderness as a scapegoat.

“He shall then slaughter the goat for the sin offering for the people and take its blood behind the curtain and do with it as he did with the bull’s blood: He shall sprinkle it on the atonement cover and in front of it.

“Then he shall come out to the altar that is before the Lord and make atonement for it. He shall take some of the bull’s blood and some of the goat’s blood and put it on all the horns of the altar.

“When Aaron has finished making atonement for the Most Holy Place, the tent of meeting and the altar, he shall bring forward the live goat.

He is to lay both hands on the head of the live goat and confess over it all the wickedness and rebellion of the Israelites—all their sins—and put them on the goat’s head. He shall send the goat away into the wilderness in the care of someone appointed for the task.

The goat will carry on itself all their sins to a remote place; and the man shall release it in the wilderness.

“The man who releases the goat as a scapegoat must wash his clothes and bathe himself with water; afterward he may come into the camp.

The bull and the goat for the sin offerings, whose blood was brought into the Most Holy Place to make atonement, must be taken outside the camp; their hides, flesh and intestines are to be burned up.
