5And he shall take from the congregation of Israel two male goats for a sin offering and one ram for a burnt offering.
6Aaron is to present the bull for his sin offering and make atonement for himself and his household. 7Then he shall take the two goats and present them before the LORD at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
8After Aaron casts lots for the two goats, one for the LORD and the other for the scapegoat,c 9he shall present the goat chosen by lot for the LORD and sacrifice it as a sin offering. 10But the goat chosen by lot as the scapegoat shall be presented alive before the LORD to make atonement by sending it into the wilderness as the scapegoat.
"What is the meaning of Azazel / the scapegoat?"
“Laying his hands on the scapegoat, the high priest was to “confess over it all the wickedness and rebellion of the Israelites – all their sins – and put them on the goat’s head. He shall send the goat away into the wilderness in the care of someone appointed for the task. The goat will carry on itself all their sins to a remote place; and the man shall release it in the wilderness”
Foreshadowing of Christ, Jesus was our scapegoat!
2 Corinthians 5: 21God made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God.
“Jesus embodied what the scapegoat represented – the removal of sins from the perpetrators.”

Have you accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior?
If not, how will you bear the punishment for your sins?
