(June 8, 2021 at 11:28 pm)Fake Messiah Wrote: From the Wikipedia

Quote:In the Bible, a scapegoat is one of two kid goats. As a pair, one goat was sacrificed (not a scapegoat) and the living “scapegoat” was released into the wilderness, taking with it all sins and impurities. The concept first appears in Leviticus, in which a goat is designated to be cast into the desert to carry away the sins of the community.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scapegoat

That is the best explanation I have seen for the story.
