The Temple Institute: Yom Kippur in the Holy Temple: The Scapegoat Dies

The Scapegoat Dies (continued)

After he has accomplished his task, the priest who led the scapegoat walks back to the last booth, and waits there until dark before he returns to Jerusalem - for it has only been permitted for him to travel this distance in order to fulfill the duty of the scapegoat. However once that has been done, he must wait until the conclusion of the Day of Atonement before he returns.
