NASB | Leviticus 16:21 "Then Aaron shall lay both of his hands on the head of the live goat, and confess over it all the iniquities of the sons of Israel and all their transgressions in regard to all their sins; and he shall lay them on the head of the goat and send it away into the wilderness by the hand of a man who stands in readiness. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Leviticus 16:21 "Then Aaron shall lay both of his hands on the head of the live goat, and confess over it all the wickedness of the sons of Israel and all their transgressions in regard to all their sins; and he shall lay them on the head of the goat [the scapegoat, the sin-bearer], and send it away into the wilderness by the hand of a man who is prepared [for the task]. |
Bible Question: In Leviticus 16:21 (KJV) it reads "send him away by the hand of a fit man into the wilderness." My questions: What does it mean by "fit man"? Physical or Spiritual fitness? |
Bible Answer: Hi, Romans... In modern English we'd probably say "an appropriate man" or "a suitable man." It simply means someone capable of performing the task. Probably a man who was physically able, knew the area, and was waiting nearby to perform the task. If you check other translations, I think the meaning will become more clear for you. In Him, Doc |
