The High Priest's Ritual and the Scapegoat's Role
One goat was designated for slaughter, while the other was chosen as the scapegoat, burdened with the nation's sins.
The blood of the slaughtered goat was sprinkled on the mercy seat to cleanse sins, symbolizing purification. The scapegoat, carrying the accumulated sins of the nation, was then led into the wilderness, representing the removal and forgiveness of those transgressions.
