Leviticus 16

Leviticus 16 details the Yom Kippur rituals where the high priest, after atoning for himself with a bull, casts lots on two goats: one sacrificed to YHWH for the people's sins, its blood sprinkled in the Holy of Holies; the other, the scapegoat (la-azazel), receives confession of Israel's iniquities and is sent into the wilderness.[1][2][3]
