Leviticus 16:10 - Albert Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

On which the lot fell to be the scapegoat - Rather, on which the lot ‘for Azazel’ fell.

An atonement with him - The goat “for Azazel” was to be considered as taking his part along with the other goat in the great symbol of atonement.

For a scapegoat into the wilderness - Rather, “to Azazel, into the wilderness.”

Leviticus 16:10

10 But the goat, on which the lot fell to be the scapegoat, shall be presented alive before the LORD, to make an atonement with him, and to let him go for a scapegoat into the wilderness.
