[1] Yahweh spoke to Moses, after the death of the two sons of Aaron, when
they drew near before Yahweh, and died; [2] and Yahweh said to Moses, Speak
to Aaron your brother, that he doesn`t come at all times into the holy
place within the veil, before the mercy seat which is on the ark; that he
not die: for I will appear in the cloud on the mercy seat. [3] Herewith
shall Aaron come into the holy place: with a young bull for a sin-offering,
and a ram for a burnt offering. [4] He shall put on the holy linen coat,
and he shall have the linen breeches on his flesh, and shall be girded with
the linen sash, and with the linen mitre shall he be attired: they are the
holy garments; and he shall bathe his flesh in water, and put them on. [5]
He shall take of the congregation of the children of Israel two male goats
for a sin-offering, and one ram for a burnt offering. [6] Aaron shall
present the bull of the sin-offering, which is for himself, and make
atonement for himself, and for his house. [7] He shall take the two goats,
and set them before Yahweh at the door of the tent of meeting. [8] Aaron
shall cast lots on the two goats; one lot for Yahweh, and the other lot for
Azazel. [9] Aaron shall present the goat on which the lot fell for Yahweh,
and offer him for a sin-offering. [10] But the goat, on which the lot fell
for Azazel, shall be set alive before Yahweh, to make atonement for him, to
send him away for Azazel into the wilderness. [11] Aaron shall present the
bull of the sin-offering, which is for himself, and shall make atonement
for himself, and for his house, and shall kill the bull of the sin-offering
which is for himself: [12] and he shall take a censer full of coals of fire
from off the altar before Yahweh, and his hands full of sweet incense
beaten small, and bring it within the veil: [13] and he shall put the
incense on the fire before Yahweh, that the cloud of the incense may cover
the mercy seat that is on the testimony, that he not die: [14] and he shall
take of the blood of the bull, and sprinkle it with his finger on the mercy
seat on the east; and before the mercy seat shall he sprinkle of the blood
with his finger seven times. [15] Then shall he kill the goat of the
sin-offering, that is for the people, and bring his blood within the veil,
and do with his blood as he did with the blood of the bull, and sprinkle it
on the mercy seat, and before the mercy seat: [16] and he shall make
atonement for the holy place, because of the uncleanness of the children of
Israel, and because of their transgressions, even all their sins: and so
shall he do for the tent of meeting, that dwells with them in the midst of
their uncleanness. [17] There shall be no man in the tent of meeting when
he goes in to make atonement in the holy place, until he come out, and have
made atonement for himself, and for his household, and for all the assembly
of Israel. [18] He shall go out to the altar that is before Yahweh, and
make atonement for it, and shall take of the blood of the bull, and of the
blood of the goat, and put it on the horns of the altar round about. [19]
He shall sprinkle of the blood on it with his finger seven times, and
cleanse it, and make it holy from the uncleanness of the children of
Israel. [20] When he has made an end of atoning for the holy place, and the
tent of meeting, and the altar, he shall present the live goat: [21] and
Aaron shall lay both his hands on the head of the live goat, and confess
over him all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their
transgressions, even all their sins; and he shall put them on the head of
the goat, and shall send him away by the hand of a man who is in readiness
into the wilderness: [22] and the goat shall bear on him all their
iniquities to a solitary land: and he shall let go the goat in the
wilderness. [23] Aaron shall come into the tent of meeting, and shall put
off the linen garments, which he put on when he went into the holy place,
and shall leave them there: [24] and he shall bathe his flesh in water in a
holy place, and put on his garments, and come forth, and offer his burnt
offering and the burnt offering of the people, and make atonement for
himself and for the people. [25] The fat of the sin-offering shall he burn
on the altar. [26] He who lets go the goat for Azazel shall wash his
clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the
camp. [27] The bull of the sin-offering, and the goat of the sin-offering,
whose blood was brought in to make atonement in the holy place, shall be
carried forth outside of the camp; and they shall burn in the fire their
skins, and their flesh, and their dung. [28] He who burns them shall wash
his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into
the camp. [29] It shall be a statute forever to you: in the seventh month,
on the tenth day of the month, you shall afflict your souls, and shall do
no manner of work, the home-born, or the stranger who sojourns among you:
[30] for on this day shall atonement be made for you, to cleanse you; from
all your sins shall you be clean before Yahweh. [31] It is a Sabbath of
solemn rest to you, and you shall afflict your souls; it is a statute
forever. [32] The priest, who shall be anointed and who shall be
consecrated to be priest in his father`s place, shall make the atonement,
and shall put on the linen garments, even the holy garments: [33] and he
shall make atonement for the holy sanctuary; and he shall make atonement
for the tent of meeting and for the altar; and he shall make atonement for
the priests and for all the people of the assembly. [34] This shall be an
everlasting statute to you, to make atonement for the children of Israel
because of all their sins once in the year. He did as Yahweh commanded
Moses.
