Podcast: Play in new window | Download
29:29 – The scapegoat was both a literal goat that was abandoned to perish in the wilderness, and the disobedient Watcher to whom the goat was thus sacrificed. Leviticus hearkens back to the Book of Enoch, in which we are told to ascribe all sin to Azazel, who taught men to wage war with swords and shields, and women to wage war with jewelry and cosmetics. Also: more on the dangers of consuming blood and fat, and strict new prohibitions against incest.
