Leviticus 16:7-22
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.
