The biblical regulations of Yom Kippur require the officiating Jewish High Priest to bathe himself in water after sending off the scapegoat to Azazel, and a similar requirement was imposed on the person who led the scapegoat away, and the person who burned the sacrifices during the rituals of the day.[25] The Mishnah states that the High Priest had to immerse himself five times, and his hands and feet had to be washed ten times.[26]
