Exegesis
The relative clause consists of ’asher {אֲשֶׁר | ’ăšer} ‘which’ + alah {עָלָה | ‘ālah} ‘has come up’ + alav {עָלָיו | ’alāw} ‘upon it’ + hagoral {הַגּוֹרָל | ha-gōrāl} ‘the lot’, modifying the goat by a perfect-tense action of selection.
In context — Leviticus 16:9
And Aaron shall bring near the goat on which the lot fell for the LORD , and he shall make it a sin offering .
