Common English Bible

²⁰ When Aaron has finished reconciling the inner holy area, the rest of the meeting tent, and the altar, he will bring forward the live goat. ²¹ Aaron will press both his hands on its head and confess over it all the Israelites’ offenses and all their rebellious sins, as well as all their other sins, putting all these on the goat’s head. Then he will send it away into the wilderness with someone designated for the job.^{[a] 22} The goat will carry on itself all their offenses to a desolate region, then the goat will be released into the wild.
