In the Old Testament times, the priests sacrificed animals and shed their blood for the forgiveness of sins of the people in the sanctuary according to the [[Law of Moses]]. The sins of the people were temporarily transferred to the sanctuary through the sacrifices on the Sabbath and the feasts, and the sins were finally handed over to a [https://www.britannica.com/topic/scapegoat scapegoat] on the [[Day of Atonement]]. This is a shadow of how the sins of the saints will be temporarily transferred to Christ and then to Satan (the devil) through the feast in the New Testament times. The scapegoat died while wandering around in a solitary place, and the sins of the people were completely forgiven.
