Taking the Bull and the Goat to be Burned
After the blood was sprinkled, and while one goat was being sent to the wilderness, the insides of the bull were removed by the Kohain Gadol. The Kohain Gadol placed the bodies of the slaughtered bull and the slaughtered S'eir L'Hashem on a receptacle and intertwined the bodies. Other people carried the bodies out of Yerushalayim to a place called Bais Hadeshen (the place of the Ashes). There the bull and the goat were burned only after the goat for the Azazel reached the wilderness.
