⁸ Aaron shall cast lots for the two goats, one lot for the Lord and the other lot for the ^[a]scapegoat. ⁹ Then Aaron shall offer the goat on which the lot for the Lord fell, and make it a sin offering. ¹⁰ But the goat on which the lot for the ^[b]scapegoat fell shall be presented alive before the Lord, to make ^(A)atonement upon it, to send it into the wilderness as the ^[c]scapegoat.

²¹ Then Aaron shall lay both of his hands on the head of the live goat, and ^(A)confess over it all the iniquities of the sons of Israel and all their transgressions ^[a]in regard to all their sins; and he shall lay them on the head of the goat and send it away into the wilderness by the hand of a man who stands in readiness. ²² The goat shall bear on itself all their iniquities to a solitary land; and he shall release the goat in the wilderness.

²³ “Then Aaron shall come into the tent of meeting and take off ^(B)the linen garments which he put on when he went into the holy place, and shall leave them there. ^24 (C)He shall bathe his ^[b]body with water in a holy place and put on ^(D)his clothes, and come forth and offer his burnt offering and the burnt offering of the people and make atonement for himself and for the people. ²⁵ Then he shall offer up in smoke the fat of the sin offering on the altar. ²⁶ The one who released the goat as the ^[c]scapegoat ^(E)shall wash his clothes and bathe his ^[d]body with water; then afterward he shall come into the camp.
