Atonement Process Day of Atonement (Judgment Phase)Earthly Sanctuary System

“And when he hath made an end of reconciling the holy place, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and the altar, he shall bring the live goat:”

And he shall go out unto the altar that is before the Lord, and make an atonement for it; and shall take of the blood of the bullock, and of the blood of the goat, and put it upon the horns of the altar round about.

And he shall sprinkle of the blood upon it with his finger seven times, and cleanse it, and hallow it from the uncleanness of the children of Israel.

And when he hath made an end of reconciling the holy place, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and the altar, he shall bring the live goat:

And Aaron shall lay both his hands upon the head of the live goat, and confess over him all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions in all their sins, putting them upon the head of the goat, and shall send him away by the hand of a fit man into the wilderness:

And the goat shall bear upon him all their iniquities unto a land not inhabited: and he shall let go the goat in the wilderness.

Counter-Arguments

The strongest case that this verse does not belong in this theme.

Atonement Process

The verse describes an action (bringing a goat) that occurs *after* reconciliation has been completed, suggesting it is a subsequent step rather than part of the reconciliation process itself.

Day of Atonement (Judgment Phase)

The verse describes an action within a ritual but does not explicitly mention "Day of Atonement," "judgment," or "removal of sin," thus not directly supporting the broader implications of the theme.

Earthly Sanctuary System

The verse describes actions performed within a sanctuary system, but it does not explicitly define or establish the system itself, only details an action within it.
