My question is in Leviticus 16 it talks about the scape-goat,my understanding of the scape-goat is when someone takes the blame for someone or a group of people on them selfs,so if Christ is the scape-goat,and the one goat was sacrificed,why was the scape-goat taking to the wilderness and giving to satan? | ||||||

I'm a little confused, I'm trying to figure out where you got that the other got was taken to the wilderness and given to Satan. I read the verses you pointed out, but the scapegoat in this case that was sent into the wilderness as representation of the removal of sin. Did I miss something where it said it was given to Satan?

In Leviticus16:8 it says lots were cast on the two goats one for the Lord and the other for Azazel(satan).The goat for the Lord was killed and the other was alive and sent to the wilderness for Azazel(satan).So my question is why would the goat that was led into the wilderness be called the scape-goat when it was for Azazel(satan)? | ||||||

Hello a1- welcome to the forum. I don't find any record of Azazel and Satan being the same person. As for why the goat that was led into the wilderness is referred to as the scapegoat, I read somewhere that the use of the word "scapegoat" is due to a mistranslation; but I don't know for sure. We might continue to think of it as a "scapegoat", in our mondern understanding of that word, due to the fact that it represented taking on the burden (or blame, or punishment) of the sins of others. In some sense we might compare this to our Lord Jesus being our scapegoat in that he did bear the burden of our sins to the point of His being lead away and ultimately dying to pay their cost. Of course, unlike the annual goat spoken of in Leviticus, Christ chose the course. No one else could have done that. Jeff |
