7He must take the two male goats and bring them into the Lord’s presence at the entrance to the tent of meeting. 8Then Aaron must throw lots for the two goats. One lot will be for the Lord and the other for Azazel. Aaron must sacrifice the goat chosen by lot for the Lord as an offering for sin. 10But he must bring the goat chosen by lot for Azazel into the Lord’s presence.

By doing this he will make peace with the Lord for himself and his family.
