Leviticus 16:27
"“He who lets the goat go as the scapegoat shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp."
Key Reflection
This verse signifies the ritual purity required after performing the most sacred tasks of Yom Kippur. By washing, the person releasing the scapegoat symbolically cleanses himself from the burden of sin, restoring him to communal fellowship within the camp.
