Kapłańska 16:22 Kabała: 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.
