וְנָשָׂ֨א הַשָּׂעִ֥יר עָלָ֛יו אֶת־כָּל־עֲוֺנֹתָ֖ם אֶל־אֶ֣רֶץ גְּזֵרָ֑ה וְשִׁלַּ֥ח אֶת־הַשָּׂעִ֖יר בַּמִּדְבָּֽר׃
염소가 그들의 모든 불의를 지고 무인지경에 이르거든 그는 그 염소를 광야에 놓을지니라
Chesed LeAvraham
There are sins for which repentance suspends judgment, but suffering brings atonement. Therefore, when the scapegoat "bears all their iniquities to a desolate land" (Leviticus 16:22), it is as if the sinner declares, "Exact payment from me through such-and-such suffering." They accept this with joy, understanding it as the force of judgment purifying them for their wrongdoing, under the rulings of the Heavenly Court.
