Leviticus 16:10 But the goat, on which the lot fell for the scapegoat, shall be presented alive before the Lord, to make atonement for him, to send him away for the scapegoat into the wilderness.

Hebrews 2:17 Therefore he was obligated in all things to be made like his brothers, that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make atonement for the sins of the people.
