The request (plea) to be in the sealed Book of Life. The two goats: (1) one sacrificed in the Temple to pay the price for ones sins and (2) the other goat turned loose in the wilderness to represent the leaving of that sinful behavior. As for me, the sacrifice for my sins was paid by One some 2,000 years ago.
