The idea that the crimson thread represents the malevolence is, in fact, implied also in Mishnah Shabbat 9:3, which links the color of the thread with sin: Hittite rituals made use of this same imagery. [2] The same cleansing materials appear in the ritual of the red heifer, which is used to purify a person from contact with a corpse (Num 19). Nevertheless, this is difficult to defend since, although Near Eastern rituals emphasize the decoration of sent-away women and animals with metal jewelry, the crimson thread itself is not related to this; see below. The scapegoat was a goat that was designated (Hebrew: לַעֲזָאזֵֽל ‎) la-'aza'zeyl; "for absolute removal" (for symbolic removal of the people's sins with the literal removal of the goat), and outcast in the desert as part of the ceremonies of the Day of Atonement, that began during the Exodus with the original Tabernacle and continued through the times of the temples in Jerusalem. [6] Another difference is the use of a crimson thread (= biblical scarlet wool).

Once a year, on Yom Kippur, the Cohen Gadol sacrificed a bull as a sin offering to atone for sins he may have committed unintentionally throughout the year. A concept superficially similar to the biblical scapegoat is attested in two ritual texts in archives at Ebla of the 24th century BC. But this version is actually the most distant from the scapegoat ritual. Israel M. Ta-Shma, Daniel Boyarin, Menachem Hirschman, Shamma Y. Friedman, and Menachem Schmelzer (Jerusalem: Magnes, 2000), 105–111, 105–111; Jan N. Bremmer, “The Scapegoat between Northern Syria, Hittites, Israelites, Greeks and Early Christians,” in Greek Religion and Culture, the Bible and the Ancient Near East (Leiden: Brill, 2008), 172; Beate Pongratz-Leisten, “Ritual Killing and Sacrifice in the Ancient Near East,” in Human Sacrifice in Jewish and Christian Tradition, ed., Karin Finsterbusch, Armin Lange and K.F.

For example, the rite transmitted by Ambazzi (another section of which we discussed above) states: [He] also [ties] a piece of cloth [to them], (saying): “Just as the la[underers make th]is (cloth) [smooth] and [remove/cleanse the sta]in from it [and i]t became white, likewise [may the gods] rem[ove/cleanse the evil sickness of this m]a[n from his body].”[24]. In Christianity, this process prefigures the sacrifice of Christ on the cross through which God has been propitiated and sins can be expiated.

They then say as follows: “Now, any evil of this camp that has been found in person, cattle, sheep, horses, wild asses, or donkeys—right now, here, these rams and the woman have removed it from the camp. [20] A third version of this ritual, transmitted by Uḫḫamuwa, is the best preserved (it is unbroken) and gives a detailed description of the way in which the head of the ram is encircled with a wreath of woolen threads before being released (CTH 410); see: S. Görke (ed. Thus, according to the homily, the crimson thread serves not only an apotropaic function, transferring the sin from entity to entity, but also serves as an omen, communicating to people that the ritual worked. Livraison gratuite (voir cond.). Similarly, the Carthaginian church father, Tertullian (ca. [5] At the same time, it records some significant differences. "I have no doubt that it should be rendered 'averter'".

[13], The thread thus facilitates the transference of the evil to the mouse, and its eventual removal. J'avais lu le livre de Daphné du Maurier, qui était assez intriguant, même si ce n'est pas son meilleur (un peu vieillot, peut-être la traduction ?). For the disparities between the various facets, see Gurney, Some Aspects of Hittite Religion, 52–59. In talmudic times, a popular rabbinic interpretation was that Azazel referred to the place to which the goat was sent, the eretz g'zera (inaccessible region) of Leviticus (16:22). Cf. idem (ed. März 1990, ed. 26, 30]; idem (Stökl Ben-Ezra), The Impact of Yom Kippur on Early Christianity: The Day of Atonement from Second Temple Judaism to the Fifth Century (Tübingen: Mohr Siebeck, 2003), 19, 29, 160–161; Lester L. Grabbe, “The Scapegoat Tradition: A Study in Early Jewish Interpretation,” JSJ 18 (1987): 152–167 [161–165]. Preserved in three different versions, the version transmitted by a person named Ašá¸«ella describes how the exorcist entwines the threads of wool, while others—apparently from among the camp commanders, each of whom possesses his individual sent-away ram, upon which the exorcist places his hands—are responsible for twisting the threads together (CTH 394): When the day turns to night, all the army commanders, whoever they may be, each prepares a ram—whether black or white, it does not matter. J. M. Coetzee's work is permeated by the scapegoat problematic as well as the scapegoating practice in the social and psychological sense. She then buries the figurines in the ground, bound with the threads taken from the sufferer’s body, in order to ensure that the witchcraft will not return.[22].

Two goats were chosen by lot: one to be "for YHWH", which was offered as a blood sacrifice, and the other to be the scapegoat to be sent away into the wilderness. When placing the red thread, for instance, she recites the words: [Whoever] has made him blood red, whoever has bewitched him, I am taking from him blood redness and bewitching and I am giving (them) back to its [owner]…. Whoever has made [him blac]k, whoever has be[witc]hed him, now I am [taking the [sorcery] from him and am giving it back to its owner. [27], In light of the above, the tying of the crimson thread to the scapegoat may represent—at least in its origin—the transferring of the tabernacle’s defilement, caused by the Israelites’ sins, to the scapegoat, which is sent away into the wilderness and Azazel. The word "scapegoat" is an English translation of the Hebrew ‘ăzāzêl (Hebrew: עזאזל‎), which occurs in Leviticus 16:8: ונתן אהרן על שני השעירם גרלות גורל אחד ליהוה וגורל אחד לעזאזל

Cf. 225), in his Latin Against the Jews, writes (14:9): So, again, I will make an interpretation of the two goats which were habitually offered on the fast-day …the one of them, begirt with scarlet, amid cursing and universal spitting, and tearing, and piercing, was cast away by the people outside the city into perdition... (Thelwall trans.). Subsequently he took two goats and presented them at the door of the tabernacle. [11] See Naphtali Goldstein, “הלשון של זהורית בעבודת יום הכיפורים” [The ‘Crimson Ribbon’ in the Yom Kippur Ritual], Tarbiz 49 (1979–80): 237–245; Milgrom, Leviticus 1–16, 1022. As a pair, one goat was sacrificed (not a scapegoat) and the living “scapegoat” was released into the wilderness, taking with it all sins and impurities.

See, Jacob Nahum Epstein, מבוא לנוסח המשנה [Introduction to the Mishnaic Text], 3rd printing (Jerusalem/Tel Aviv: Magnes/Dvir, 2000; repr. These rituals reflect an apotropaic practice of sending away a live animal to an uninhabited region in order to ward off any malevolence threatening people or a place, such as evil, impurity, or plague.

And Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats: one lot for the Lord, and the other lot for Azazel. While the Second Temple practice was also compared to the Greek pharmakos ritual, it is worth noting that this Greek rite was apparently influenced by Anatolian traditions relating to the sent-away women: see below n. 17. May [th]is [mo]use carry it to the high mountains, to the deepest valle[ys], to the long roads.” Then they release the mouse, (saying): “Zarni[za], Tarpattašši—You, take this for yourself, and we shall [gi]ve you (something) [el]se to [e]at”. 18. [33] A similar phenomenon appears in the rite transmitted by Ašá¸«ella (discussed above), in which both the laying on of hands and the tying of a thread play a role—apparently a blending of two diverse customs: see Wright, “The Gesture of Hand Placement in the Hebrew Bible and in Hittite Literature,” 446. 3:6. [21] See Albrecht Goetze and Edgar H. Sturtevant, The Hittite Ritual of Tunnawi, American Oriental Society 14 (New Haven: Harvard University Press, 1938), 8–11, 12–15. [16] This ritual attributes both substitutionary and sacrificial aspects to the animal, but its original core seems to have consisted of the sending-away ceremony, with the addition of the other facets designed to better guarantee the halting of the plague. The Greek Epistle of Barnabas, probably composed in Alexandria sometime between the destruction of the Second Temple (70 C.E.) Jacob Neusner, A History of the Mishnaic Law of Appointed Times 5 (Leiden: Brill, 1983), 134. script type="text/javascript"> She presses it against the king and queen, over all of their bodies. The priest made atonement over the scapegoat, laying Israel's guilt upon it, and then sent it away, the goat bearing "upon him all their iniquities unto a land not inhabited." Jesus Christ is seen to have fulfilled all of the biblical "types"—the High Priest who officiates at the ceremony, the Lord's goat that deals with the pollution of sin and the scapegoat that removes the "burden of sin". "[7] Several modern versions however either leave it as the proper noun Azazel, or footnote "for Azazel" as an alternative reading. Animals are connected to phenomena of scapegoating. This reading is supported by the Greek Old Testament translation as "the sender away (of sins)". Cf. Princ.) Un problème s'est produit lors du chargement de ce menu pour le moment.

Excellent. Just as this noose is tight and fits this ram, so too you, the god who caused this plague, make peace with the land of Hatti, turning again in friendship to the land of Hatti.” So they lead the wreathed ram to the enemy’s land. What is the purpose of the crimson thread? [13], Ancient Greeks practiced scapegoating rituals in exceptional times based on the belief that the repudiation of one or two individuals would save the whole community. by Michael O'Sullivan. Although the text speaks of the border of the enemy’s land, it is identified according to the standard terminology of the sent-away ritual as “a place we never arrive,” akin to the “high mountains, deepest valleys and the long roads” of Ambazzi’s ritual, where the scape-mouse is sent, and the “uninhabited land” in Leviticus, where the scapegoat is sent.

In these texts, which parallel the Second Temple scapegoat ritual in many particulars, the thread appears to represent the transmission of the defilement/disease from the patient to the animal who in turn delivers it away to other entities or into uninhabited region.[12].
