"The concept comes from an ancient Jewish ritual described in the Bible, specifically in Leviticus 16. During the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur), two goats were chosen: one to be sacrificed and the other to be sent into the wilderness, symbolically carrying away the sins of the community. This second goat was called the "Azazel" or the "scapegoat".
