📚 Contexto Histórico
In the ancient Israelite community, Leviticus 16 outlines the rituals for the Day of Atonement, a sacred annual event where the high priest atoned for the sins of the people through sacrifices and the scapegoat ceremony. The scapegoat was a live goat upon which the nation's sins were symbolically placed and then released into the wilderness, representing the removal of guilt. The person who handled and released the scapegoat was required to wash his clothes and bathe to maintain ritual purity, as contact with sin's representation made him ceremonially unclean.
