אלא אמר רב יוסף הא מני רבי שמעון היא דתניא מת אחד מהן מביא חבירו שלא בהגרלה דברי רבי שמעון

Hanan the Egyptian says: Even if the blood is in the cup, may he bring its mate and pair them.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Even if the blood of the he-goat to be sprinkled up within is in the cup, when the he goat-to-be-sent-away dies, no new casting of the lots is necessary according to Hanan, but, as is assumed at present, one may simply bring another he-goat from outside and pair it and appoint it for Azazel even without lots. Thus we see that Hanan does not hold the principle that the lot does not determine etc.; and consequently the he-goat-to-be-sent-away need not necessarily have reached its proper time hence a scriptural verse is necessary to teach that it must do so.');">¹²</span> But admitted that Hanan does not accept the opinion concerning 'rejection'<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' He does not accept the view of R. Judah in our Mishnah that the scapegoat is to be rejected as unfit on account of the mishap to the other.');">¹³</span>
