Perhaps he [the high priest] would have to bring [two] and cast lots [afresh]?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Leaving the one, upon whom the lot 'for the Lord' now falls, to pasture until it acquires a blemish, whilst obtaining atonement through the blood of the first. At any rate, however, casting the lots is necessary, hence one whose time had not yet come would be invalidated, because the lot determines only what is 'fit for the Lord', i.e. whose time has come.');">¹⁴</span>
