Leviticus 16:22

Context
16:22 The goat is to bear on itself all their iniquities into an inaccessible land, 1  so he is to send the goat away 2  in the wilderness.

1 tn The Hebrew term rendered “inaccessible” derives from a root meaning “to cut off” (cf. NAB “an isolated region”). Another possible translation would be “infertile land” (see HALOT 187 s.v. *גָּזֵּר and cf. NRSV “a barren region”; NLT “a desolate land.”

2 tn Heb “and he [the man (standing) ready, v. 21] shall send the goat away.”
