Leviticus 16:13-17

13He is to putH5414 the incenseH7004 onH5921 the fireH784 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, and the cloudH6051 of incenseH7004 will coverH3680 the mercy seatH3727 aboveH5921 the TestimonyH5715,1 so that he will notH3808 dieH4191. 14And he is to takeH3947 some of the bull’sH6499 bloodH1818 and sprinkleH5137 it with his fingerH676 onH5921 the eastH6924 sideH6440 of the mercy seatH3727; then he shall sprinkleH5137 some ofH4480 it with his fingerH676 sevenH7651 timesH6471 beforeH6440 the mercy seatH3727.

15Aaron shall then slaughterH7819 the goatH8163 for the sin offeringH2403 for the peopleH5971 and bringH935 its bloodH1818H413 behindH1004 the veilH6532H854, and with its bloodH1818 he must doH6213 asH834 he didH6213 with the bull’sH6499 bloodH1818: He is to sprinkleH5137 it againstH5921 the mercy seatH3727 and in frontH6440 of itH3727.

16So he shall make atonementH3722 forH5921 the Most Holy PlaceH6944 because of the impuritiesH2932 and rebellious actsH6588 of the IsraelitesH1121H3478 in regard to allH3605 their sinsH2403. He is to doH6213 the sameH3651 for the TentH168 of MeetingH4150 which abidesH7931 among themH854 in the midstH8432 of their impuritiesH2932. 17NoH3605H3808 oneH120 may beH1961 in the TentH168 of MeetingH4150 from the time Aaron goes inH935 to make atonementH3722 in the Most Holy PlaceH6944 untilH5704 he leavesH3318, after he has made atonementH3722 for himselfH1157, his householdH1004H1157, and the wholeH3605 assemblyH6951 of IsraelH3478.
