Yuma 4:2
The Cohein Gadol tied a piece of red wool on the he-goat that was to be sent
lazazel and faced it toward the azazel direction. He also tied red wool on the
he-goat that was to be slaughtered and brought it to the place where it would be
slaughtered. He then came to his second ox, spread both hands over it, and
confessed his sins. This is what he said; ‘I plead to you Hashem, aveesi,
pashati, and chatasi before you, I, my household, and the sons of Aharon your
holy nation. I plead from you Hashem to forgive the avonos, pishaim, and chataim
that I have committed, I and my household and the sons of Aharon your holy
nation, as it says in the Torah of Moshe your servant, "I will atone for
you on this day".’ The people answer, ‘Baruch shem kivod malchuso
liolum vaed’.
Yuma 4:3
He slaughtered his first ox and accepted the blood in a utensil. He then gave
the blood to someone who would continue to stir it on the fourth row of stones
from the kodesh, so it should not coagulate. He took a shovel, went up to the
outside mizbeach, pushed aside the outer coals, took some of the hot inner
coals, and brought them to the fourth row of stones in the courtyard.
