📚 Historical Context
In the Old Testament, Leviticus 16 outlines the Day of Atonement, a sacred annual ritual where the High Priest, such as Aaron, atoned for the sins of the entire Israelite community. This involved presenting two goats before the Lord at the entrance of the Tabernacle, one to be sacrificed and the other to symbolically carry away the sins. These practices were part of the Mosaic Law, emphasizing God's holiness and the need for purification to restore the covenant relationship between Israel and God.
