5 Bible Verses about Taking Away Evil

And Aaron shall cast lots over the two goats, one lot for the LORD and the other lot for Azazel.

but the goat on which the lot fell for Azazel shall be presented alive before the LORD to make atonement over it, that it may be sent away into the wilderness to Azazel.

And he who lets the goat go to Azazel shall wash his clothes and bathe his body in water, and afterward he may come into the camp.

Take with you words and return to the LORD; say to him, "Take away all iniquity; accept what is good, and we will pay with bulls the vows of our lips.

This was to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah: "He took our illnesses and bore our diseases."
