Aaron’s bull for the sin offering, and the lots for the two goats

아론의 속죄제 수송아지와 두 염소의 제비

Leviticus 16:1–10: after the death of the two sons of Aaron, when they came near before the LORD, and died, the LORD says to Moses, “Tell Aaron your brother not to come at just any time into the Most Holy Place within the veil, before the mercy seat which is on the ark; lest he die; for I will appear in the cloud on the mercy seat. Aaron shall come into the sanctuary with a young bull for a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering. He shall put on the holy linen tunic. He shall have the linen trousers on his body, and shall put on the linen sash, and he shall be clothed with the linen turban. They are the holy garments. He shall bathe his body in water, and put them on. He shall take from the congregation of the children of Israel two male goats for a sin offering, and one ram for a burnt offering. Aaron shall offer the bull of the sin offering, which is for himself, and make atonement for himself and for his house. He shall take the two goats, and set them before the LORD at the door of the Tent of Meeting. Aaron shall cast lots for the two goats: one lot for the LORD, and the other lot for the scapegoat. Aaron shall present the goat on which the lot fell for the LORD, and offer him for a sin offering. But the goat on which the lot fell for the scapegoat shall be presented alive before the LORD, to make atonement for him, to send him away as the scapegoat into the wilderness.”

Unresolved interpretation: 아사셀 in the Korean text and “the scapegoat” in WEB: Leviticus 16:8, 16:10 and 16:26

The Korean Revised Version writes 아사셀 in these verses. At 16:8 one lot is to be for the LORD and the other for 아사셀 (아사셀을 위하여); at 16:10 the goat on which the lot for 아사셀 fell is to be set alive before the LORD, atonement is to be made with it, and it is to be sent into the wilderness for 아사셀; and 16:26 names the one who sent the goat to 아사셀 (아사셀에게).

The Korean Revised Version uses the word 아사셀 in the three verses, and WEB writes “the scapegoat” in the same places. This collection writes 아사셀 in Korean, as the Korean Revised Version does, and “the scapegoat” in English, as WEB does; it does not decide what 아사셀 is, and makes no entry for it.
