Leviticus 16:19-34
19He is to sprinkleH5137 some ofH4480 the bloodH1818 on itH5921 with his fingerH676 sevenH7651 timesH6471 to cleanse itH2891 and consecrate itH6942 from the uncleannessH2932 of the IsraelitesH1121H3478.
20When Aaron has finishedH3615 purifyingH3722 the Most Holy PlaceH6944, the TentH168 of MeetingH4150, and the altarH4196, he is to bring forwardH7126 the liveH2416 goatH8163. 21ThenH175 he is to layH5564 bothH8147 handsH3027 onH5921 the headH7218 of the liveH2416 goatH8163 and confessH3034 overH5921 itH853 allH3605 the iniquitiesH5771 and rebellious actsH6588 of the IsraelitesH1121H3478 in regard toH3605 allH3605 their sinsH2403. He is to putH5414 themH853 onH5921 the goat’sH8163 headH7218 and send it awayH7971 into the wildernessH4057 by the handH3027 of a manH376 appointed for the taskH6261. 22The goatH8163 will carryH5375 onH5921 itselfH853 allH3605 their iniquitiesH5771 intoH413 a solitaryH1509 placeH776, and the man will releaseH7971 it into the wildernessH4057.
23Then AaronH175 is to enterH935H413 the TentH168 of MeetingH4150, take offH6584 the linenH906 garmentsH899 he put onH3847 before enteringH935H413 the Most Holy PlaceH6944, and leave themH5117 thereH8033. 24He is to batheH7364 himselfH1320 with waterH4325 in a holyH6918 placeH4725 and put onH3847 his own clothesH899. Then he must go outH3318 and sacrificeH6213 his burnt offeringH5930 and the people’sH5971 burnt offeringH5930 to make atonementH3722 forH1157 himselfH1157 and for the peopleH5971. 25He is also to burnH6999 the fatH2459 of the sin offeringH2403 on the altarH4196.
26The man who releasedH7971 the goatH8163 as the scapegoatH5799 must washH3526 his clothesH899 and batheH7364 himselfH1320 with waterH4325; afterwardH310H3651 he may reenterH935H413 the campH4264.
The bullH6499 for the sin offeringH2403 and the goatH8163 for the sin offeringH2403, whoseH834 bloodH1818 was broughtH935 into the Most Holy PlaceH6944 to make atonementH3722, must be takenH3318 outsideH413H2351 the campH4264; and their hidesH5785, fleshH1320, and dungH6569 must be burned upH8313H784. 28The one who burnsH8313 themH853 must washH3526 his clothesH899 and batheH7364 himselfH1320 with waterH4325, and afterwardH310H3651 he may reenterH935H413 the campH4264.
29This is to beH1961 a permanentH5769 statuteH2708 for you: On the tenthH6218 dayH2320 of the seventhH7637 monthH2320, you shall humbleH6031 yourselvesH53151 and not doH6213 anyH3605 workH4399—whether the nativeH249 or the foreignerH1616 who residesH1481 among youH8432— 30becauseH3588 on thisH2088 dayH3117 atonement will be madeH3722 for youH5921 to cleanseH2891 youH853, and you will be cleanH2891 from allH3605 your sinsH2403 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068. 31ItH1931 is a SabbathH7676 of complete restH7677 for you, that you may humbleH6031 yourselvesH5315; it is a permanentH5769 statuteH2708.
32The priestH3548 whoH834 is anointedH4886 and ordainedH4390 to succeedH3547H8478 his father as high priestH1 shall make atonementH3722. He will put onH3847 the sacredH6944 linenH906 garmentsH899 33and make atonementH3722 for the Most Holy PlaceH4720H6944,2 the TentH168 of MeetingH4150, and the altarH4196, and forH5921 the priestsH3548H5921 and allH3605 the peopleH5971 of the assemblyH6951. 34ThisH2063 is to beH1961 a permanentH5769 statuteH2708 for you, to make atonementH3722 onceH259 a yearH8141 forH5921 the IsraelitesH1121H3478 because of allH3605 their sinsH2403.”
And all this was doneH6213 asH834 the LORDH3068 had commandedH6680 MosesH4872.
