"A concept superficially similar to the biblical scapegoat is attested in two ritual texts of the  

24th century BC archived at Ebla. 

They were connected with ritual purification on the occasion of the king's wedding. In them, a she-goat with a silver bracelet hung from her neck was driven forth into the wasteland of "Alini"; "we" in the report of the ritual involves the whole community.  

Such "elimination rites", in which an animal, without confession of sins, is the vehicle of evils (not sins) that are chased from the community are widely attested in the Ancient Near East."

"In the Bible, a scapegoat is one of a pair of kid goats that is released into the wilderness, taking with it all sins and impurities, while the other is sacrificed.  

The concept first appears in the Book of Leviticus, in which a goat is designated to be cast into the desert to carry away the sins of the community."
