Leviticus 16
1And Jehovah spake unto MosesH4872, after the deathH4191 of the twoH8147 sonsH1121 of AaronH175, when they drewH7126 near before Jehovah, and diedH4191; 2and Jehovah saidH559 unto MosesH4872, SpeakH1696 unto AaronH175 thy brotherH251, that he comeH935 not at all timesH6256 into the holyH6944 placeH6944 within the veil, before the mercy-seat which is upon the arkH727; that he dieH4191 not: for I will appearH7200 in the cloudH6051 upon the mercy-seat. 3Herewith shall AaronH175 comeH935 into the holyH6944 placeH6944: with a youngH1121 bullock for a sin-offering, and a ramH352 for a burnt-offering. 4He shall putH3847 on the holyH6944 linenH906 coat, and he shall have the linenH906 breeches upon his fleshH1320, and shall beH1961 girdedH2296 with the linenH906 girdle, and with the linenH906 mitre shall he beH1961 attired: they are the holyH6944 garmentsH899; and he shall batheH7364 his fleshH1320 in waterH4325, and putH3847 them on. 5And he shall takeH3947 of the congregationH5712 of the children of IsraelH3478 twoH8147 he-goats for a sin-offering, and oneH259 ramH352 for a burnt-offering.
6And AaronH175 shall presentH7126 the bullock of the sin-offering, which is for himself, and make atonementH3722 for himself, and for his houseH1004. 7And he shall takeH3947 the twoH8147 goatsH8163, and setH5975 them before Jehovah at the doorH6607 of the tentH168 of meetingH4150. 8And AaronH175 shall cast lotsH1486 upon the twoH8147 goatsH8163; oneH259 lotH1486 for Jehovah, and the other lotH1486 for Azazel. 9And AaronH175 shall presentH7126 the goatH8163 upon which the lotH1486 fell for Jehovah, and offer him for a sin-offering. 10But the goatH8163, on which the lotH1486 fell for Azazel, shall be setH5975 aliveH2416 before Jehovah, to makeH5975 atonementH3722 for him, to sendH7971 him awayH7971 for Azazel into the wildernessH4057.
11And AaronH175 shall presentH7126 the bullock of the sin-offering, which is for himself, and shall make atonementH3722 for himself, and for his houseH1004, and shall kill the bullock of the sin-offering which is for himself. 12And he shall takeH3947 a censerH4289 full of coalsH1513 of fireH784 from off the altarH4196 before Jehovah, and his handsH2651 full of sweet incenseH7004 beaten small, and bringH935 it within the veil: 13and he shall putH5414 the incenseH7004 upon the fireH784 before Jehovah, that the cloudH6051 of the incenseH7004 may coverH3680 the mercy-seat that is upon the testimonyH5715, that he dieH4191 not: 14and he shall takeH3947 of the bloodH1818 of the bullock, and sprinkle it with his fingerH676 upon the mercy-seat on the eastH6924; and before the mercy-seat shall he sprinkle of the bloodH1818 with his fingerH676 sevenH7651 timesH6471.
15Then shall he kill the goatH8163 of the sin-offering, that is for the peopleH5971, and bringH935 his bloodH1818 within the veil, and do with his bloodH1818 as he did with the bloodH1818 of the bullock, and sprinkle it upon the mercy-seat, and before the mercy-seat: 16and he shall makeH6213 atonementH3722 for the holyH6944 placeH6944, because of the uncleannesses of the children of IsraelH3478, and because of their transgressionsH6588, even all their sinsH2403: and soH3651 shall he do for the tentH168 of meetingH4150, that dwelleth with them in the midstH8432 of their uncleannesses. 17And there shall beH1961 no manH120 in the tentH168 of meetingH4150 when he goeth in to make atonementH3722 in the holyH6944 placeH6944, until he comeH935 out, and have made atonementH3722 for himself, and for his householdH1004, and for all the assemblyH6951 of IsraelH3478. 18And he shall goH3318 out unto the altarH4196 that is before Jehovah, and makeH5414 atonementH3722 for it, and shall takeH3947 of the bloodH1818 of the bullock, and of the bloodH1818 of the goatH8163, and putH5414 it upon the hornsH7161 of the altarH4196 roundH5439 about. 19And he shall sprinkle of the bloodH1818 upon it with his fingerH676 sevenH7651 timesH6471, and cleanseH2891 it, and hallow it from the uncleannesses of the children of IsraelH3478.
20And when he hath made an endH3615 of atoning for the holyH6944 placeH6944, and the tentH168 of meetingH4150, and the altarH4196, he shall presentH7126 the live goatH8163: 21and AaronH175 shall lay both his handsH3027 upon the headH7218 of the live goatH8163, and confessH3034 over him all the iniquitiesH5771 of the children of IsraelH3478, and all their transgressionsH6588, even all their sinsH2403; and he shall putH5414 them upon the headH7218 of the goatH8163, and shall sendH7971 him awayH7971 by the handH3027 of a manH376 that is in readiness into the wildernessH4057: 22and the goatH8163 shall bearH5375 upon him all their iniquitiesH5771 unto a solitary landH776: and he shall let goH7971 the goatH8163 in the wildernessH4057.
23And AaronH175 shall comeH935 into the tentH168 of meetingH4150, and shall putH3847 off the linenH906 garmentsH899, which he putH3847 on whenH834 he wentH935 into the holyH6944 placeH6944, and shall leave them there: 24and he shall batheH7364 his fleshH1320 in waterH4325 in a holyH6918 placeH4725, and putH3847 on his garmentsH899, and comeH3318 forthH3318, and offerH6213 his burnt-offering and the burnt-offering of the peopleH5971, and makeH6213 atonementH3722 for himself and for the peopleH5971. 25And the fatH2459 of the sin-offering shall he burn upon the altarH4196. 26And he that letteth goH935 the goatH8163 for Azazel shall washH3526 his clothesH899, and batheH7364 his fleshH1320 in waterH4325, and afterward he shall comeH935 into the campH4264. 27And the bullock of the sin-offering, and the goatH8163 of the sin-offering, whose bloodH1818 was broughtH935 in to make atonementH3722 in the holyH6944 placeH6944, shall be carried forthH3318 without the campH4264; and they shall burnH8313 in the fireH784 their skinsH5785, and their fleshH1320, and their dungH6569. 28And he that burneth them shall washH3526 his clothesH899, and batheH7364 his fleshH1320 in waterH4325, and afterward he shall comeH935 into the campH4264.
29And it shall beH1961 a statuteH2708 for everH5769 unto you: in the seventhH7637 monthH2320, on the tenth day of the monthH2320, ye shall afflictH6031 your soulsH5315, and shall do no manner of workH4399, the home-born, or the stranger that sojourneth among you: 30for on this dayH3117 shall atonementH3722 be made for you, to cleanseH2891 you; from all your sinsH2403 shall ye be cleanH2891 before Jehovah. 31It is a sabbathH7676 of solemn rest unto you, and ye shall afflictH6031 your soulsH5315; it is a statuteH2708 for everH5769. 32And the priestH3548, who shall be anointedH4886 and who shall be consecrated to be priestH3548 in his father’sH1 stead, shall make the atonementH3722, and shall putH3847 on the linenH906 garmentsH899, even the holyH6944 garmentsH899: 33and he shall make atonementH3722 for the holyH6944 sanctuaryH4720; and he shall make atonementH3722 for the tentH168 of meetingH4150 and for the altarH4196; and he shall make atonementH3722 for the priestsH3548 and for all the peopleH5971 of the assemblyH6951. 34And this shall beH1961 an everlasting statuteH2708 unto you, to makeH6213 atonementH3722 for the children of IsraelH3478 because of all their sinsH2403 once in the yearH8141. And he did as Jehovah commandedH6680 MosesH4872.
