In the Bible, a scapegoat is an animal which is ritually burdened with the sins of others then driven away. 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. * And Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats: one lot for the LORD, and the other lot for Azazel. * * Other ancient societies had similar practices. |
