Yoma 4:2-3

Yoma 4:2

The Kohein Gadol tied the strip of crimson wool on the head of the goat selected “for Azazel” and he faced it towards the direction it would be sent; he tied another crimson strip to the goat for a sin offering at the place where it would be slaughtered (i.e., the neck). He came to his bull a second time and placed his hands on it, making the following confession: “Hashem, I have done wrong, sinned and transgressed before You – I, and my household, and the children of Aaron, Your holy people. Hashem, please forgive the wrongs, the sins and the transgressions that I have wronged, sinned and transgressed before You – I, and my household, and the children of Aaron, Your holy people – as is written in the Torah that You delivered through Your servant Moses, ‘On this day, atonement will be made for you, to purify you. For all your sins, you will be purified before Hashem’ (Leviticus 16:30).” The people responded “Blessed be His Name, the glory of Whose Kingdom is forever and ever.”

Yoma 4:3

The Kohein Gadol slaughtered the bull and collected its blood in a bowl. He gave it to someone to stir on the fourth terrace in the Sanctuary (heichal), to keep it from congealing. He took a fire-pan and went to the top of the altar, where he cleared the coals to either side. He scooped some from among the burnt coals on the inside and came down, placing the pan of coals on the fourth terrace in the courtyard (azarah – i.e., the same terrace).
