Azazel
Azazel (:ə-ˈzā-zəl), also spelled Azazael (Hebrew: עֲזָאזֵל, ''Azazel''; Arabic: عزازيل , ''Azāzīl'') appears in the Bible in association with the scapegoat rite. In some traditions of Judaism and Christianity, it is the name for a fallen angel. In Rabbinic Judaism it is not a name of an entity but rather means literally "for the complete removal", i.e., designating the goat to be cast out into the wilderness as opposed to the goat sacrificed "for YHWH".
==Hebrew Bible==
In the Bible, the term is used thrice in Leviticus 16, where two he-goats were to be sacrificed to Yahweh and one of the two was selected by lot, for Yahweh is seen as speaking through the lots.〔 The next words are לַעֲזָאזֵל ''la-aza'zeyl'', read either as "for absolute removal" or as "for Azazel". This goat was then cast out in the desert as part of the Day of Atonement.
In older English versions such as the King James Version the word ''azazeyl'' is translated as "as a scapegoat", however in most modern English Bible versions the word ''azazeyl'' is represented as a name in the text:
Later rabbis, interpreting ''la-azazel'' as ''azaz'' (rugged) and ''el'' (strong), take it as referring to the rugged and rough mountain cliff from which the goat was cast down.〔Yoma 67b; Sifra, Aḥare, ii. 2; Targ. Yer. Lev. xiv. 10, and most medieval commentators〕〔For a delineation of the various Rabbinic opinions here, see R. Aryeh Kaplan's (note ) on "Azazel" (Lev 16:8).〕
