expiates

The basis of this belief is that sins of the participants are transferred to the unfortunate chicken whose sacrifice then expiates said sins.

Nearly every man who expiates a crime upon the gallows is a believer in the Bible.

You mustn't judge yourself too heavily, my dear; It's wrong to murder babies, little corals for to fleece; But sins like these one expiates at half a crown apiece.

This goat is he who expiates all the sins of your nation.

You mustn't judge yourself too heavily, my dear: It's wrong to murder babies, little corals for to fleece; But sins like these one expiates at half-a-crown apiece.
