וְנָשָׂ֨א הַשָּׂעִ֥יר עָלָ֛יו אֶת־כָּל־עֲוֺנֹתָ֖ם אֶל־אֶ֣רֶץ גְּזֵרָ֑ה וְשִׁלַּ֥ח אֶת־הַשָּׂעִ֖יר בַּמִּדְבָּֽר׃
At papasanin ng lalaking kambing ang lahat ng kanilang kasamaan patungo sa isang lupaing nakahiwalay; at pakakawalan niya ang lalaking kambing sa ilang.
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.
