yoma 67

the unseen things that might be upsetting.

the people shouldn't see the red thread, lest it not turn white
&
the goat should be pushed backwards off the cliff, and not see the bones of Azazel

(part of the ritual of sending the goat to Azazel was that a red thread was tied on it, and when it turned white, it was a sign that the people's sins had been forgiven)
