2 Chronicles 29:23, Berean Standard Bible

Hezekiah has just reopened and cleansed the temple his father Ahaz had defiled, and now he leads Judah in a service of atonement for the kingdom, the sanctuary and the people. The goats are the sin offering, and the king and the assembled congregation lay their hands on them, a gesture of identification that transfers guilt to the victim before it is slaughtered.
