רַבִּי מֵאִיר אוֹמֵר: כָּל הַשְׂעִירִין כַּפָּרָתָן שָׁוָה, עַל טוּמְאַת מִקְדָּשׁ וְקָדָשָׁיו.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rabbi Meir says:** With regard to **all the goats** offered as additional offerings, those of the New Moons, Festivals, and Yom Kippur, **their atonement,** i.e., the atonement that they effect, **is the same;** they all atone **for** the **defiling of** the **Temple** by entering it while impure, **or** for the defiling of **its sacrificial** foods by partaking of them while impure.


###### Shevuot 2b:3
[Shevuot 2b:3](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Shevuot/r/2b:3)

הָיָה רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן אוֹמֵר: שְׂעִירֵי רָאשֵׁי חֳדָשִׁים מְכַפְּרִים עַל הַטָּהוֹר שֶׁאָכַל אֶת הַטָּמֵא, וְשֶׁל רְגָלִים מְכַפְּרִין עַל שֶׁאֵין בָּהּ יְדִיעָה לֹא בַּתְּחִלָּה וְלֹא בַּסּוֹף, וְשֶׁל יוֹם הַכִּפּוּרִים מְכַפֵּר עַל שֶׁאֵין בָּהּ יְדִיעָה בַּתְּחִלָּה אֲבָל יֵשׁ בָּהּ יְדִיעָה בַּסּוֹף.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rabbi Shimon would say,** delineating his opinion as the mishna expresses it above: The **goats of** the **New Moons atone for a ritually pure** person **who** unwittingly **partook of ritually impure** sacrificial food. **And** with regard to the defiling of the Temple or its sacrificial foods, the goats **of** the **Festivals atone for** cases **in which** one **did not have awareness, neither at the beginning nor at the end, and** the goats of the additional offerings **of Yom Kippur atone for** cases **in which** one **did not have awareness at the beginning but did have awareness at the end.**


###### Shevuot 2b:4
[Shevuot 2b:4](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Shevuot/r/2b:4)

אָמְרוּ לוֹ: מַהוּ שֶׁיִּקְרְבוּ זֶה בָּזֶה? אָמַר לָהֶן: יִקְרְבוּ. אָמְרוּ לוֹ: הוֹאִיל וְאֵין כַּפָּרָתָן שָׁוָה, הֵיאַךְ קְרֵבִין זֶה בְּזֶה? אָמַר לָהֶם: כּוּלָּן בָּאִין לְכַפֵּר עַל טוּמְאַת מִקְדָּשׁ וְקָדָשָׁיו.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Rabbis **said to him: What is** the *halakha* with regard to **whether** goats consecrated for different days **may be sacrificed, this** one **in** place of **that** one? For example, if a goat was initially consecrated to be sacrificed as part of the Yom Kippur additional offerings, may it be sacrificed as part of the Festival additional offerings instead? Rabbi Shimon **said to them: They may be sacrificed. They said to him: Since,** according to you, **their atonement is not the same, how could they** possibly **be sacrificed, this** one **in** place of **that** one? Rabbi Shimon **said to them:** They can be interchanged, since ultimately **all of them come to atone for** the **defiling of** the **Temple or its sacrificial** foods.


###### Shevuot 2b:5
[Shevuot 2b:5](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Shevuot/r/2b:5)

רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן בֶּן יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר מִשְּׁמוֹ: שְׂעִירֵי רָאשֵׁי חֳדָשִׁים – מְכַפְּרִין עַל הַטָּהוֹר שֶׁאָכַל אֶת הַטָּמֵא. מוֹסִיף עֲלֵיהֶן שֶׁל רְגָלִים – שֶׁמְּכַפְּרִין עַל טָהוֹר שֶׁאָכַל אֶת הַטָּמֵא, וְעַל שֶׁאֵין בָּהּ יְדִיעָה לֹא בַּתְּחִלָּה וְלֹא בַּסּוֹף.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rabbi Shimon ben Yehuda says in the name of** Rabbi Shimon a tradition of his opinion that differs from the way the mishna expresses it above: The **goats of** the **New Moons atone for a ritually pure** person **who** unwittingly **partook of ritually impure** sacrificial food. The goats **of** the **Festivals exceed them, as they atone** both **for a pure** person **who partook of impure** sacrificial food **and** also **for** cases of defiling the Temple or its sacrificial foods **in which** one **did not have awareness, neither at the beginning nor at the end.**


###### Shevuot 2b:6
[Shevuot 2b:6](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Shevuot/r/2b:6)

מוֹסִיף עֲלֵיהֶן שֶׁל יוֹם הַכִּפּוּרִים – שֶׁהֵן מְכַפְּרִין עַל הַטָּהוֹר שֶׁאָכַל אֶת הַטָּמֵא, וְעַל שֶׁאֵין בָּהּ יְדִיעָה לֹא בַּתְּחִלָּה וְלֹא בַּסּוֹף, וְעַל שֶׁאֵין בָּהּ יְדִיעָה בַּתְּחִלָּה אֲבָל יֵשׁ בָּהּ יְדִיעָה בַּסּוֹף.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The goats **of Yom Kippur** further **exceed them, as they atone** both **for a ritually pure** person **who partook of ritually impure** sacrificial food **and for** cases of defiling the Temple or its sacrificial foods **in which** one **did not have awareness, neither at the beginning nor at the end; and** they also atone **for** cases **in which** one **did not have awareness at the beginning but did have awareness at the end.**


###### Shevuot 2b:7
[Shevuot 2b:7](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Shevuot/r/2b:7)

אָמְרוּ לוֹ: מַהוּ שֶׁיִּקְרְבוּ זֶה בָּזֶה? אָמַר לָהֶם: הֵן. אָמְרוּ לוֹ: אִם כֵּן, יִהְיוּ שֶׁל יוֹם הַכִּפּוּרִים קְרֵבִין בְּרָאשֵׁי חֳדָשִׁים; אֲבָל הֵיאַךְ שֶׁל רָאשֵׁי חֳדָשִׁים קְרֵבִין בְּיוֹם הַכִּפּוּרִים – לְכַפֵּר כַּפָּרָה שֶׁאֵינָהּ שֶׁלָּהּ? אָמַר לָהֶם: כּוּלָּן בָּאִין לְכַפֵּר עַל טוּמְאַת מִקְדָּשׁ וְקָדָשָׁיו.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Rabbis **said to him: What is** the *halakha* with regard to **whether** goats consecrated for different days **may be sacrificed, this** one **in** place of **that** one? Rabbi Shimon **said to them: Yes,** they can be interchanged. **They said to him: If** what you say is **so,** granted that the goats **of Yom Kippur may be sacrificed on** the **New Moons, but how could** the goats **of** the **New Moons be sacrificed on Yom Kippur** when they will need **to effect atonement** for **that which they were not** consecrated **for?** Rabbi Shimon **said to them:** They can all be interchanged, since ultimately **all of them come to atone for** the **defiling of** the **Temple or its sacrificial** foods, even if each one atones for a different case.


###### Shevuot 2b:8
[Shevuot 2b:8](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Shevuot/r/2b:8)

וְעַל זְדוֹן טוּמְאַת מִקְדָּשׁ וְקָדָשָׁיו – שָׂעִיר הַנַּעֲשֶׂה בִּפְנִים וְיוֹם הַכִּפּוּרִים מְכַפְּרִין.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
§ **And for** the **intentional defiling of** the **Temple or its sacrificial** foods, both the **goat whose** blood presentation is **performed inside** the Sanctuary on Yom Kippur, **and Yom Kippur** itself, **atone.**


###### Shevuot 2b:9
[Shevuot 2b:9](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Shevuot/r/2b:9)

עַל שְׁאָר עֲבֵירוֹת שֶׁבַּתּוֹרָה; הַקַּלּוֹת וְהַחֲמוּרוֹת, הַזְּדוֹנוֹת וְהַשְּׁגָגוֹת, הוֹדַע וְלֹא הוֹדַע, עֲשֵׂה וְלֹא תַעֲשֶׂה, כָּרֵיתוֹת וּמִיתוֹת בֵּית דִּין – שָׂעִיר הַמִּשְׁתַּלֵּחַ מְכַפֵּר.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The mishna delineates how atonement is effected for other transgressions: **For** all **other transgressions that are** stated **in the Torah,** whether they are **the minor** ones **or the major** ones, whether they were **intentional or unwitting,** whether **one became aware** of them before Yom Kippur **or did not become aware** of them until after Yom Kippur, whether they involve **a positive mitzva or a prohibition,** whether the transgressors are subject to **excision from the World-to-Come [*karet*] or** to one of the **court**-imposed **death penalties,** the **scapegoat** sent to Azazel on Yom Kippur **atones.**

[Shevuot 2b:10](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Shevuot/r/2b:10)

אֶחָד יִשְׂרְאֵלִים וְאֶחָד כֹּהֲנִים וְאֶחָד כֹּהֵן מָשׁוּחַ. מָה בֵּין יִשְׂרְאֵלִים לְכֹהֲנִים וּלְכֹהֵן מָשׁוּחַ? אֶלָּא שֶׁהַפָּר מְכַפֵּר עַל הַכֹּהֲנִים – עַל טוּמְאַת מִקְדָּשׁ וְקָדָשָׁיו.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Israelites and priests and** the **anointed priest,** i.e., the High Priest, achieve atonement from the scapegoat equally. **What** is the difference **between Israelites, priests, and** the **anointed priest?** The difference is **only that the priests achieve atonement for** their **defiling of** the **Temple or its sacrificial** foods through **the bull** that the High Priest offers on Yom Kippur, whereas the Israelites achieve atonement for defiling caused by them through the goats that are sacrificed on Yom Kippur.


###### Shevuot 2b:11
[Shevuot 2b:11](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Shevuot/r/2b:11)

רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן אוֹמֵר: כְּשֵׁם שֶׁדַּם הַשָּׂעִיר הַנַּעֲשֶׂה בִּפְנִים מְכַפֵּר עַל יִשְׂרָאֵל, כָּךְ דַּם הַפָּר מְכַפֵּר עַל הַכֹּהֲנִים; כְּשֵׁם שֶׁוִּידּוּיוֹ שֶׁל שָׂעִיר הַמִּשְׁתַּלֵּחַ מְכַפֵּר עַל יִשְׂרָאֵל, כָּךְ וִידּוּיוֹ שֶׁל פָּר מְכַפֵּר עַל הַכֹּהֲנִים.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rabbi Shimon says:** With regard to the defiling of the Temple or its sacrificial foods, **just as** the **blood of the goat, whose** blood presentation is **performed inside** the Sanctuary, **atones for Israelites, so** too, the **blood of the bull** of the High Priest, whose blood presentation is also performed inside the Sanctuary, **atones for the priests.** And for all other transgressions, **just as** the **confession** made **over the scapegoat atones for Israelites, so** too, the **confession** made **over** the **bull atones for the priests.**


###### Shevuot 2b:12
[Shevuot 2b:12](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Shevuot/r/2b:12)

**גְּמָ׳** מִכְּדֵי תַּנָּא מִמַּכּוֹת סָלֵיק, מַאי שְׁנָא דְּתָנֵי שְׁבוּעוֹת? מִשּׁוּם דְּתָנֵי: חַיָּיב עַל הָרֹאשׁ שְׁתַּיִם – אַחַת מִיכָּן וְאַחַת מִיכָּן,

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**GEMARA:** The Gemara inquires: **Now, the *tanna* is leaving** tractate ***Makkot*,** the tractate that precedes tractate *Shevuot* in the mishnaic order. **What is distinctive** about tractate *Shevuot* **that he teaches** tractate ***Shevuot*** after tractate *Makkot*? The Gemara answers: It is **due to** the fact **that he teaches** in a mishna at the end of tractate *Makkot* (20a): **For** rounding the edges of his **head** one is **liable** to receive **two** sets of lashes: **One from here,** the hair adjacent to one ear, **and one from there,** the hair adjacent to the other ear.
