Barnes' Notes
On which the lot fell to be the scapegoat - Rather, on which the lot ' for Azazel' fell.
An atonement with him - The goat "for Azazel" was to be considered as taking his part along with the other goat in the great symbol of atonement.
For a scapegoat into the wilderness - Rather, "to Azazel, into the wilderness."
