LEV 16:1 And Jehovah spake unto Moses, after the death of the two sons
of Aaron, when they drew near before Jehovah, and died;
LEV 16:2 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.
LEV 16:3 Herewith shall Aaron come into the holy place: with a young
bullock for a sin-offering, and a ram for a burnt-offering.
LEV 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 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.
LEV 16:5 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.
LEV 16:6 And Aaron shall present the bullock of the sin-offering, which
is for himself, and make atonement for himself, and for his house.
LEV 16:7 And he shall take the two goats, and set them before Jehovah
at the door of the tent of meeting.
LEV 16:8 And Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats; one lot for
Jehovah, and the other lot for Azazel.
LEV 16:9 And Aaron shall present the goat upon which the lot fell for
Jehovah, and offer him for a sin-offering.
LEV 16:10 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.
LEV 16:11 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:
LEV 16:12 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:
LEV 16:13 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:
LEV 16:14 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.
LEV 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 his blood
as he did with the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it upon the
mercy-seat, and before the mercy-seat:
LEV 16:16 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.
LEV 16:17 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.
LEV 16:18 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.
LEV 16:19 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.
LEV 16:20 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:
LEV 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, 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:
LEV 16:22 and the goat shall bear upon him all their iniquities unto a
solitary land: and he shall let go the goat in the wilderness.
LEV 16:23 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:
LEV 16:24 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.
LEV 16:25 And the fat of the sin-offering shall he burn upon the altar.
LEV 16:26 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.
