Thanks Stanley.
What I did was use the name of the Biblical book, specifying
the chapter and verse, along with the following two topical subject
headings:
630 04 $a Bible. $p Deuteronomy XXI,
1-9. <JTS practice is to remove the O.T.>
650 0 $a Scapegoat. <even
though the book is really talking about a ceremony invovling a
scapecow>
650 0 $a Murder (Jewish
law)
