Outside the City

The pattern is fixed in the sin offering: what bore the sin was carried "without the camp" and burned (Lev 4:12; 16:27), the goat of Yom Kippur was sent away into the wilderness (Lev 16:21-22), and the condemned were judged outside the camp (Num 15:35-36). The Prophets carry it to Zion: "there shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised and the unclean" (Isa 52:1; Zech 14:21). The book reads Revelation the same way. The winepress is trodden outside the city because what is condemned is removed from holy space, and "without are dogs" (Rev 22:15) is Yom Kippur removal, not evil parked forever beside the walls. Where Yahuah dwells fully, only what is clean remains.
