Leviticus 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.

The goat will carry on itself all their sins to a solitary place; and the man shall release it in the desert.

"The goat shall bear on itself all their iniquities to a solitary land; and he shall release the goat in the wilderness.

After the man sets it free in the wilderness, the goat will carry all the people’s sins upon itself into a desolate land.

The goat will carry all their iniquities to an empty wasteland; the man will let him loose out there in the wilderness.

And the goat will take all their sins into a land cut off from men, and he will send the goat away into the waste land.

The goat shall bear on itself all their iniquities to a barren region; and the goat shall be set free in the wilderness.

"The goat shall bear on itself all their iniquities to an uninhabited land; and he shall release the goat in the wilderness.

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.”
