Significance of Two Goats in Ritual

The chapter explores the importance of two goats in a ritual, where each goat serves a distinct purpose in atonement for sins. One goat is designated for Yahweh as a pure and unblemished offering, while the other goat, representing Azazel, symbolically carries the sins of the people and is sent away into the wilderness. The process of casting lots, sacrificing the perfect goat for Yahweh, and sending off the scapegoat to bear the sins highlights the unique and symbolic elements of this ancient ritual.
