Introduction


Hebrew Text

מסרו למי שהיה מוליכו.

הכל כשרין ח להוליכו, אלא שעשו הכהנים (גדולים) קבע ולא היו מניחין את ישראל להוליכו.

אמר רבי יוסי, מעשה והולכו ערסלא, וישראל היה.

English Translation

[The High Priest] delivered [the scapegoat] to the one who would lead it [into the wilderness].
Everyone is fit to lead it, but the priests made it a fixed practice that Israelites were not allowed to lead it.

Rabbi Yosi recounts that Arsela led [the scapegoat], and that he was an Israelite.
