Leviticus 16:2-13
2And the LORDH3068 saidH559 toH413 MosesH4872: “TellH1696 your brotherH251 AaronH175 notH408 to enterH935 freelyH3605H6256 intoH413 the Most Holy PlaceH69441 behindH1004 the veilH6532 inH413 frontH6440 of the mercy seatH37272 onH5921 the arkH727, or elseH3808 he will dieH4191, becauseH3588 I appearH7200 in the cloudH6051 aboveH5921 the mercy seatH3727.
3This is howH2063 AaronH175 is to enterH935H413 the Holy PlaceH6944: with a young bullH6499H1121H1241 for a sin offeringH2403 and a ramH352 for a burnt offeringH5930. 4He is to wearH3847 the sacredH6944 linenH906 tunicH3801, with linenH906 undergarmentsH4370. He must tieH2296 a linenH906 sashH73 around himH906 and put on the linenH6801 turbanH4701. TheseH1992 are holyH6944 garmentsH899, and he must batheH7364 himselfH1320 with waterH4325 before he wears themH3847. 5AndH854 he shall takeH3947 from the congregationH5712H1121 of IsraelH3478 twoH8147 male goatsH8163H5795 for a sin offeringH2403 and oneH259 ramH352 for a burnt offeringH5930.
6AaronH175 is to presentH7126 the bullH6499 for his sin offeringH2403 and make atonementH3722 forH1157 himselfH1157 and his householdH1004. 7Then he shall takeH3947 the twoH8147 goatsH8163 and presentH5975 themH853 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 at the entranceH6607 to the TentH168 of MeetingH4150.
8After AaronH175 castsH5414 lotsH1486 forH5921 the twoH8147 goatsH8163, oneH259 for the LORDH3068H1486 and the otherH259 for the scapegoatH5799,3 9heH175 shall presentH7126 the goatH8163 chosenH5927H5921 by lotH1486 for the LORDH3068 and sacrificeH6213 it as a sin offeringH2403. 10But the goatH8163 chosenH5927 byH5921 lotH1486 as the scapegoatH5799 shall be presentedH5975 aliveH2416 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 to make atonementH3722H5921 by sendingH7971 it into the wildernessH4057 as the scapegoatH5799.
11When AaronH175 presentsH7126 the bullH6499 for his sin offeringH2403 and makes atonementH3722 for himselfH1157 and his householdH1004, he is to slaughterH7819 the bullH6499 for his own sin offeringH2403. 12Then he must takeH3947 a censerH4289 fullH4393 of burningH784 coalsH1513 fromH5921 the altarH4196 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, and two handfulsH4393H2651 of finely groundH1851 fragrantH5561 incenseH7004, and take themH935 insideH1004 the veilH6532. 13He is to putH5414 the incenseH7004 onH5921 the fireH784 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, and the cloudH6051 of incenseH7004 will coverH3680 the mercy seatH3727 aboveH5921 the TestimonyH5715,4 so that he will notH3808 dieH4191.
