The Scapegoat, Azazel & Goat Demons — Explained in 1 Minute

What was the real meaning behind the biblical scapegoat? In Leviticus 16, one goat is sacrificed to God—and the other is sent into the wilderness “for Azazel.” But who or what is Azazel?

Could the scapegoat ritual represent more than just symbolic atonement? Was it also a rejection of demonic powers? Watch this short to see how Leviticus, ancient Jewish texts, and the supernatural all connect in the strange story of the scapegoat.
