LE-16:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses after the death of the
two sons of
Aaron, when they offered before the LORD, and died;
LE-16:2 And the LORD 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.
LE-16:3 Thus shall Aaron come into the holy [place]: with a
young bullock for
a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering.
LE-16:4 He shall put on the holy linen coat, and he shall have
the linen
breeches upon his flesh, and shall be girded with a linen girdle,
and with the
linen mitre shall he be attired: these [are] holy garments;
therefore shall he
wash his flesh in water, and [so] put them on.
LE-16:5 And he shall take of the congregation of the children
of Israel two
kids of the goats for a sin offering, and one ram for a burnt
offering.
LE-16:6 And Aaron shall offer his bullock of the sin offering,
which [is] for
himself, and make an atonement for himself, and for his house.
LE-16:7 And he shall take the two goats, and present them
before the LORD
[at] the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
LE-16:8 And Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats; one lot
for the LORD,
and the other lot for the scapegoat.
LE-16:9 And Aaron shall bring the goat upon which the LORD'S
lot fell, and
offer him [for] a sin offering.
LE-16:10 But the goat, on which the lot fell to be the
scapegoat, shall be
presented alive before the LORD, to make an atonement with him,
[and] to let
him go for a scapegoat into the wilderness.
LE-16:11 And Aaron shall bring the bullock of the sin offering,
which [is]
for himself, and shall make an atonement for himself, and for
his house, and
shall kill the bullock of the sin offering which [is] for
himself:
LE-16:12 And he shall take a censer full of burning coals of
fire from off
the altar before the LORD, and his hands full of sweet incense
beaten small,
and bring [it] within the veil:
LE-16:13 And he shall put the incense upon the fire before the
LORD, that the
cloud of the incense may cover the mercy seat that [is] upon the
testimony,
that he die not:
LE-16:14 And he shall take of the blood of the bullock, and
sprinkle [it]
with his finger upon the mercy seat eastward; and before the
mercy seat shall
he sprinkle of the blood with his finger seven times.
LE-16:15 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 that
blood as he did
with the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it upon the mercy
seat, and before
the mercy seat:
LE-16:16 And he shall make an atonement for the holy [place],
because of the
uncleanness of the children of Israel, and because of their
transgressions in
all their sins: and so shall he do for the tabernacle of the
congregation,
that remaineth among them in the midst of their uncleanness.
LE-16:17 And there shall be no man in the tabernacle of the
congregation when
he goeth in to make an atonement in the holy [place], until he
come out, and
have made an atonement for himself, and for his household, and
for all the
congregation of Israel.
LE-16:18 And he shall go out unto the altar that [is] before
the LORD, and
make an 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.
LE-16:19 And he shall sprinkle of the blood upon it with his
finger seven
times, and cleanse it, and hallow it from the uncleanness of the
children of
Israel.
LE-16:20 And when he hath made an end of reconciling the holy
[place], and
the tabernacle of the congregation, and the altar, he shall
bring the live
goat:
LE-16:21 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 in all their sins, putting them upon the
head of the
goat, and shall send [him] away by the hand of a fit man into
the wilderness:
LE-16:22 And the goat shall bear upon him all their iniquities
unto a land
not inhabited: and he shall let go the goat in the wilderness.
LE-16:23 And Aaron shall come into the tabernacle of the
congregation, and
shall put off the linen garments, which he put on when he went
into the holy
[place], and shall leave them there:
LE-16:24 And he shall wash his flesh with water in the holy
place, and put on
his garments, and come forth, and offer his burnt offering, and
the burnt
offering of the people, and make an atonement for himself, and
for the people.
LE-16:25 And the fat of the sin offering shall he burn upon the
altar.
LE-16:26 And he that let go the goat for the scapegoat shall
wash his
clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward come into
the camp.
LE-16:27 And the bullock [for] the sin offering, and the goat
[for] the sin
offering, whose blood was brought in to make atonement in the
holy [place],
shall [one] carry forth without the camp; and they shall burn in
the fire
their skins, and their flesh, and their dung.
LE-16:28 And he that burneth them shall wash his clothes, and
bathe his flesh
in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp.
LE-16:29 And [this] shall be a statute for ever unto you:
[that] in the
seventh month, on the tenth [day] of the month, ye shall afflict
your souls,
and do no work at all, [whether it be] one of your own country,
or a stranger
that sojourneth among you:
LE-16:30 For on that day shall [the priest] make an atonement
for you, to
cleanse you, [that] ye may be clean from all your sins before
the LORD.
LE-16:31 It [shall be] a sabbath of rest unto you, and ye shall
afflict your
souls, by a statute for ever.
LE-16:32 And the priest, whom he shall anoint, and whom he
shall consecrate
to minister in the priest's office in his father's stead, shall
make the
atonement, and shall put on the linen clothes, [even] the holy
garments:
LE-16:33 And he shall make an atonement for the holy sanctuary,
and he shall
make an atonement for the tabernacle of the congregation, and
for the altar,
and he shall make an atonement for the priests, and for all the
people of the
congregation.
LE-16:34 And this shall be an everlasting statute unto you, to
make an
atonement for the children of Israel for all their sins once a
year. And he
did as the LORD commanded Moses.
