Third Temple Implement #7

Lottery Box

Lottery Box  
  • On Yom Kippur, the High Priest reaches into the lottery box and chooses lots.
     
  • This determines which goat will be used as an offering to God, and which will be sent off to Azazel, as an atonement for the sins of the people.
     
  • During the time of the First Temple, the lots were fashioned of wood.
     
  • In the time of the Second Temple, the lots were of gold.
     
  • The lots for the Third Temple are of both wood and gold.
