"Jesus is the Scapegoat"
Jesus is the scapegoat—the goat of departure. Levitical law required that on the Day of Atonement the High Priest cast lots to select one goat for sacrifice and another as the scapegoat, “to make atonement upon it” (Lev. 16:5-22). The High Priest laid hands on the head of the scapegoat and confessed the iniquities of Israel, symbolically transferring them onto the goat. The goat was then released into the wilderness, representing the nation’s sins departing.
