1
And the
L
ORD
spake unto Moses after the death of the two sons of Aaron, when they offered before the
L
ORD
, and died;
2
And the
L
ORD
said unto Moses, Speak unto Aaron thy brother, that he come not at all times into the holy
place
within the vail 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
Thus 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 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.
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.
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.
7
And he shall take the two goats, and present them before the
L
ORD
at
the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
8
And Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats; one lot for the
L
ORD
, and the other lot for the scapegoat.
And Aaron shall bring the goat upon which the
L
ORD
’s lot fell, and offer him
for
a sin offering.
10
But the goat, on which the lot fell to be the scapegoat, shall be presented alive before the
L
ORD
, to make an atonement with him,
and
to let him go for a scapegoat into the wilderness.
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:
12
And he shall take a censer full of burning coals of fire from off the altar before the
L
ORD
, and his hands full of sweet incense beaten small, and bring
it
within the vail:
13
And he shall put the incense upon the fire before the
L
ORD
, 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 eastward; 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 vail, 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:
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.
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.
18
And he shall go out unto the altar that
is
before the
L
ORD
, 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.
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.
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:
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:
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.
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:
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.
25
And the fat of the sin offering shall he burn upon the altar.
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.
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.
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
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:
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
L
ORD
.
31
It
shall be
a sabbath of rest unto you, and ye shall afflict your souls, by a statute for ever.
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:
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.
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
L
ORD
commanded Moses.
