Question: Where does the term and idea of "scapegoat" originate from?
Answer: The Judeo-Christian story of the Day of Atonement recorded in the Jewish Pentateuch (also part of the Christian Bible)'s book of LEVITICUS (chapter 16).

In editing and punctuating the Khmer version of the book of LEVITICUS (as with other books I edited/punctuated of the Khmer Bible), I consulted the people who are experts on the issue at hand, and one of them on the Khmer language issue was Dr. Phalkun Tan, the smartest Cambodian I know.
Here's an exchange of the process of consultation in determining the best Khmer word to use for "scapegoat":

Does Theary Seng want all Cambodian go to haven with her ????
Why does she try so hard to convert all Cambodian to Christian ?????
It's called information in the marketplace of ideas, 10:19 AM. It is your choice to stay ignorant and close-minded.
Jesus said something like this: "What shall it profit a man if he gains the whole world but loses his own soul?". Jesus puts eternal destiny first before political advantage.
So if Cambodia gains Democrazy and freedom, yet at the End - all souls are lost to the Scapegoat to be pushed off a cliff to everlasting destruction in the lake of fire with Satan and his angels. Don't keep on following the scapegoat, you'll end up in the slaughter's house of everlasting destruction.
Theary, Khmer had the word scapegoat since before Christianity reached Cambodia.
Scapegoat = យកបាយលាបមាត់ពពែ
In the story of “ស្វា យកបាយលាបមាត់ពពែ”
Please remove Theary Seng's priviliges on KI Media. Let her use the comment function like everyone else.
I think at the sheep slaughter houses, they employ a Scapegoat technique using a goat to lead the sheep up the ramp but at some point along the way, the goat turn off the ramp but the sheep continued on to be waited for slaughter.
Spiritually, Yeshua said, "Broad is the way that lead to destruction and narrow is the way that lead to life." And leading the way to destruction are many "scapegoats" employed by human's enemy called, Death!
Yeshua defeated death by rising from the dead on the 3rd day. And in his hands are the KEYS of life and death.
Everything on earth was about life. But death came through the Power of SIN! One day, the Power of sin,(death) will be destroy by Yeshua. So at this point and time he is offering life to those who will receive it, key of life, and death to those who reject him, key of death.
The True and Living God is planning to restore his creation to Life as it was before SIN contaminated by death. Only those who receives him now will be part of his kingdom. Politics will be of the past! And the "scapegoat" Satan, will be cast into the Lake of Fire to be tormented forever and ever. But this is also the fate of all who refused to believe and escape the wrath of God.
For the wages of SIN is DEATH, but the Gift of God is Eternal Life through Jesus Christ.
Salvation from God's point of view is not to be earn, but is a free gift!
But the Wages of sin? People earn this everyday to deserve death. Only one SIN is needed to pay for death! But SIN also earn a compound interest every second of one's life on earth. If it would not have been the power of God, sin would have consumed the human race by now!
You sinners are the beneficiary of the Believers on earth and don't boast and hate us for being so.
