Two Little Goats, Two Little Goats

(7) And he shall take the two goats, and set them before the LORD at the door of the tent of meeting. (8) And Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats: one lot for the LORD, and the other lot for Azazel.

(9) And Aaron shall present the goat upon which the lot fell for the LORD, and offer him for a sin-offering. (10) But the goat, on which the lot fell for Azazel, shall be set alive before the LORD, to make atonement over him, to send him away for Azazel into the wilderness.

(1) And the LORD said unto Moses: ‘Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the first; and I will write upon the tables the words that were on the first tables, which thou didst break. (2) And be ready by the morning, and come up in the morning unto mount Sinai, and present thyself there to Me on the top of the mount. (3) And no man shall come up with thee, neither let any man be seen throughout all the mount; neither let the flocks nor herds feed before that mount.’ (4) And he hewed two tables of stone like unto the first; and Moses rose up early in the morning, and went up unto mount Sinai, as the LORD had commanded him, and took in his hand two tables of stone. (5) And the LORD descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the LORD.

(6) And the LORD passed by before him, and proclaimed: ‘The LORD, the LORD, God, merciful and gracious, long-suffering, and abundant in goodness and truth; (7) keeping mercy unto the thousandth generation, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin; and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children’s children, unto the third and unto the fourth generation.’

(1) And it came to pass, that when Isaac was old, and his eyes were dim, so that he could not see, he called Esau his elder son, and said unto him: ‘My son’; and he said unto him: ‘Here am I.’ (2) And he said: ‘Behold now, I am old, I know not the day of my death. (3) Now therefore take, I pray thee, thy weapons, thy quiver and thy bow, and go out to the field, and take me venison; (4) and make me savoury food, such as I love, and bring it to me, that I may eat; that my soul may bless thee before I die.’ (5) And Rebekah heard when Isaac spoke to Esau his son. And Esau went to the field to hunt for venison, and to bring it. (6) And Rebekah spoke unto Jacob her son, saying: ‘Behold, I heard thy father speak unto Esau thy brother, saying: (7) Bring me venison, and make me savoury food, that I may eat, and bless thee before the LORD before my death.

(8) Now therefore, my son, hearken to my voice according to that which I command thee. (9) Go now to the flock, and fetch me from thence two good kids of the goats; and I will make them savoury food for thy father, such as he loveth; (10) and thou shalt bring it to thy father, that he may eat, so that he may bless thee before his death.’
