Text:  "And he shall take of the congregation of the children of Israel two kids of the goats for a sin offering, and one ram for a burnt offering. ... And he shall take the two goats, and present them before the Lord at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. And Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats; one lot for the Lord, and the other lot for the scapegoat [Azazel]." Leviticus 16:5,7,8 Quote:     Scape-goat  (Heb. עֲזָאזֵל , Azazêl ) is the name given in the A. V. to one of the two goats used in the sin-offering for the entire community of Israel on the great day of atonement, the goat which was to be sent away into the wilderness. To determine which of the two goats was to be slain, and which sent alive into the wilderness, it was ordered that the priest should "cast lots upon the two goats; one lot for the Lord [Jehovah], and the other lot for the scape-goat" (Lev. xvi, 8), but literally for Azazel  ( לַע

On the great day of annual atonement the following peculiar ceremony was performed:—Two goats were brought and presented before the Lord; lots were cast for the goats, as to which of them should be sacrificed, and which should be the scape-goat. The one doomed to be a sin offering was slain; and after the high priest came out of the holy of holies, he laid his hands on the head of the live goat, and confessed over it the sins of the people. The sin-laden animal was then sent by the hand of a fit man

This word is a transliteration of the Hebrew term translated in the authorized version (Lev. xvi. 8 sq.) "scapegoat;" but the correct interpretation is much debated. Some consider azazel as the name of a region, "the desert," or of a person, the opposite to Jahveh, either a spirit, a demon, or Satan himself. The last interpretation has met with great favor; but against it may be urged that nowhere else in the Pentateuch is Satan mentioned, and the fact renders it all the more unlikely that he should be

And Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats; one lot for the Lord, and the other lot for the scapegoat [Azazel]." Leviticus 16:5,7,8 Quote: [...] The point on which opinions differ is in regard to the meaning of the word Azazel [...] Three opinions have been maintained.    The first opinion regards Azazel as the name of a mountain or precipice from which the goat was to be thrown. This opinion, however, has few supporters, since no such mountain existed, and it seems clear, from the record, that the goat must be let go alive.    A second opinion is, that Azazel is the name of the goat itself, meaning escape-goat. Our English translators give this in the text, but
