Uncertainties arise from the translation of this term in LXX or other textual versions. The contribution exposes an overview of possible interpretations of the term Azazel. Originally, it was probably the name of a demon, as evidenced by several nonbiblical sources. It could be the demonized pagan god Azizos, whose cult was not completely eliminated due to its great popularity. Azizos became a fallen angel, and under the name Lucifer he takes on the attributes of the devil in Christianity as well. In the priestly ritual of the Book of Leviticus, however, he is no more a demon, but simply a designation of the place where the sins of the people are sent. The goat for Azazel is a simple vehicle that takes these sins into the desert, to a place of disorder and chaos. With Christianity, the scapegoat becomes a symbol of Christ, and the ceremony of the sending away of scapegoat becomes a type of atonement performed by him.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6b92424 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"6b92424\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-644e23b e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"644e23b\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fe8e6b9 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"fe8e6b9\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1ec5a50 elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"1ec5a50\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"article\"\r\n  data-title=\"The Interpretation of the Term &quot;Azazel&quot;
