160. The Victim's Head

Leviticus 16:21
Listen from:
Leviticus 16:21. Both his hands upon the head of the live goat.
It was customary among the Egyptians for the person offering sacrifice to wish that all evil might be kept from him and fall on the head of his victim. For this reason the Egyptians would not eat the head of any animal, but sold it to the Greeks or else threw it into the river.
