Key verse we are dealing with in our daf:
ויקרא טז,טו וְשָׁחַט אֶת-שְׂעִיר הַחַטָּאת, אֲשֶׁר לָעָם, וְהֵבִיא אֶת-דָּמוֹ, אֶל-מִבֵּית לַפָּרֹכֶת; וְעָשָׂה אֶת-דָּמוֹ, כַּאֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה לְדַם הַפָּר, וְהִזָּה אֹתוֹ עַל-הַכַּפֹּרֶת, וְלִפְנֵי הַכַּפֹּרֶת. טז,טז וְכִפֶּר עַל-הַקֹּדֶשׁ, מִטֻּמְאֹת בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל, וּמִפִּשְׁעֵיהֶם, לְכָל-חַטֹּאתָם; וְכֵן יַעֲשֶׂה, לְאֹהֶל מוֹעֵד, הַשֹּׁכֵן אִתָּם, בְּתוֹךְ טֻמְאֹתָם.
