Leviticus 16:20-22

20“When he finishes making peace with the Lord at the holy place, the tent of meeting, and the altar, he will bring the living goat forward.

21Aaron will place both hands on its head. He will confess over it all the sins, all the rebellious acts, and all the things the Israelites did wrong. He will transfer them to the goat’s head. A man will be appointed to release the goat in the desert.

22The goat will take all their sins away to a deserted place. The man must release the goat in the desert.
