'Release' in the Bible

He will then sprinkle the blood seven times on the one who is to be cleansed from the skin disease. He is to pronounce him clean and release the live bird over the open countryside.

Then he is to release the live bird into the open countryside outside the city. In this way he will make atonement for the house, and it will be clean.

The goat will carry on it all their wrongdoings into a desolate land, and he will release it there.
