- 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.
