The goat chosen for Azazel shall be presented alive to the LORD and sent off into the desert to Azazel, in order to take away the sins of the people.

He shall put both of his hands on the goat's head and confess over it all the evils, sins, and rebellions of the people of Israel, and so transfer them to the goat's head. Then the goat is to be driven off into the desert by someone appointed to do it.

The goat will carry all their sins away with him into some uninhabited land.

The one who burns them must wash his clothes and take a bath before he returns to camp.

You shall wash your clothes, shave off all your hair, and take a bath; you will then be ritually clean. You may enter the camp, but you must live outside your tent for seven days.

Anyone who touches his bed

Anyone who touches the man with the discharge must wash his clothes and take a bath, and he remains unclean until evening.

Any saddle or seat on which the man with the discharge sits is unclean.

If a man who has a discharge touches one of you without first having washed his hands, you must wash your clothes and take a bath, and you remain unclean until evening.

After that, he is to wash his clothes and pour water over himself, and then he may enter the camp; but he remains ritually unclean until evening.

The one who burned the cow must also wash his clothes and pour water over himself, but he also remains unclean until evening.

You are to observe this rule for all time to come. The person who sprinkles the water for purification must also wash his clothes; anyone who touches the water remains ritually unclean until evening.

For the Law of Moses could not make anything perfect. And now a better hope has been provided through which we come near to God.
