He-goats, the one for sacrifice, the other to escape, Leviticus 16:7,8. The manner of offering, Leviticus 16:9-14, and ministering the sacrifice, Leviticus 16:15-19. The scape-goat, with the sins of the people laid on his head, sent into the wilderness, Leviticus 16:20-22; after which Aaron, and he who let go the goat, and he who burnt the sacrifice without the camp, must wash themselves, Leviticus 16:23-28. This day of expiation, which was on the tenth day of the seventh month, to be a solemn fast and sabbath of rest, and they cleansed from all their sins, Leviticus 16:29-34.
