Leviticus 16:3-10

3Aaron shall enter the holy place with this: with a 1bull for a 2sin offering and a ram for a burnt offering. 4He shall put on the 3holy linen tunic, and the linen undergarments shall be next to his 4body, and he shall be girded with the linen sash and attired with the linen turban (these are holy garments). Then he shall 5bathe his 6body in water and put them on. 5He shall take from the congregation of the sons of Israel 7two male goats for a sin offering and one ram for a burnt offering. 6Then 8Aaron shall offer the bull for the sin offering which is for himself, that he may make atonement for himself and for his household. 7He shall take the two goats and present them before the Lord at the doorway of the tent of meeting. 8Aaron shall cast lots for the two goats, one lot for the Lord and the other lot for the 9scapegoat. 9Then Aaron shall offer the goat on which the lot for the Lord fell, and make it a sin offering. 10But the goat on which the lot for the 10scapegoat fell shall be presented alive before the Lord, to make 11atonement upon it, to send it into the wilderness as the 12scapegoat.
