| 1 And Jehovah spake unto Moses, after the death of the two sons of
Aaron, when they drew near before Jehovah, and died; 2 and Jehovah said
unto Moses, Speak unto Aaron thy brother, that he come not at all times into
the holy place within the veil, before the mercy-seat which is upon the ark;
that he die not: for I will appear in the cloud upon the mercy-seat.
3 Herewith shall Aaron come into the holy place: with a young bullock 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 upon his flesh, and shall be
girded with the linen girdle, 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 And he shall take of the congregation of the children of Israel
two he-goats for a sin-offering, and one ram for a burnt-offering.
6 And Aaron shall present the bullock of the sin-offering, which is for
himself, and make atonement for himself, and for his house. 7 And he shall
take the two goats, and set them before Jehovah at the door of the tent of
meeting. 8 And Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats; one lot for
Jehovah, and the other lot for Azazel. 9 And Aaron shall present the goat
upon which the lot fell for Jehovah, and offer him for a sin-offering.
10 But the goat, on which the lot fell for Azazel, shall be set alive
before Jehovah, to make atonement for him, to send him away for Azazel into
the wilderness.
11 And Aaron shall present the bullock of the sin-offering, which is for
himself, and shall make atonement for himself, and for his house, and shall
kill the bullock 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 Jehovah, and
his hands full of sweet incense beaten small, and bring it within the veil:
13 and he shall put the incense upon the fire before Jehovah, that the
cloud of the incense may cover the mercy-seat that is upon the testimony,
that he die not: 14 and he shall take of the blood of the bullock, and
sprinkle it with his finger upon 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 bullock, and sprinkle it upon the mercy-seat, and
before the mercy-seat: 16 and he shall make atonement for the holy place,
because of the uncleannesses 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 dwelleth with them in the midst of their uncleannesses.
17 And there shall be no man in the tent of meeting when he goeth 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 And he shall go out unto the altar that is before Jehovah, and make
atonement for it, and shall take of the blood of the bullock, and of the
blood of the goat, and put it upon the horns of the altar round about.
19 And he shall sprinkle of the blood upon it with his finger seven times,
and cleanse it, and hallow it from the uncleannesses of the children of
Israel.
20 And when he hath 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 upon 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 upon the head of
the goat, and shall send him away by the hand of a man that is in readiness
into the wilderness: 22 and the goat shall bear upon him all their
iniquities unto a solitary land: and he shall let go the goat in the
wilderness.
23 And 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 And the fat of the sin-offering shall he burn upon the
altar. 26 And he that letteth go the goat for Azazel shall wash his
clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the
camp. 27 And the bullock 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 without the camp; and they shall burn in the fire
their skins, and their flesh, and their dung. 28 And he that burneth them
shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall
come into the camp.
29 And it shall be a statute for ever unto you: in the seventh month, on
the tenth day of the month, ye shall afflict your souls, and shall do no
manner of work, the home-born, or the stranger that sojourneth among you:
30 for on this day shall atonement be made for you, to cleanse you; from
all your sins shall ye be clean before Jehovah. 31 It is a sabbath of
solemn rest unto you, and ye shall afflict your souls; it is a statute for
ever. 32 And the priest, who shall be anointed and who shall be
consecrated to be priest in his father's stead, 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 And this shall be an
everlasting statute unto you, to make atonement for the children of Israel
because of all their sins once in the year. And he did as Jehovah commanded
Moses.
