Both he who led away the goat, and he who burned the parts of the sin-offerings had to purify themselves. They who went out of the camp during a religious solemnity incurred uncleanness; hence, the need of purification. Leviticus 16:27 Shall burn in the fire - i. e., consume in the fire, not burn sacrificially. See Leviticus 1:9. return to 'Top of Page'
