yoma 40

designating by mouth or hand

(discussing how lots were cast for which goat was sent off into the desert to Azazel, and which goat was for God - how essential was it to actually place the lot on the goat, tie a red thread, or was verbal designation enough?)

yoma 39

hierarchy of right over left

right hand leads to success and left to destruction

(lots of the goat that gets sent to Azazel and to God - it was considered much better if the lot for God appeared in the High Priest's right hand rather than the left.)
