The High Priest and the Two Goats

In the Day of Atonement ritual discussed in the podcast, the high priest designates two goats - one for Yahweh and one for Azazel. The goat for Yahweh is considered a sin offering and its blood is used to purify the sanctuary and sacred space. In contrast, the goat for Azazel has the sins of the people pronounced over it and is sent outside the camp to symbolically remove sin and corruption.
