Leviticus 16:2-13

2The Most Holy Place in the Tent of Meeting is behind the curtain. The Lord said to Moses, ‘Your brother Aaron cannot go behind the curtain at any time that he wants to. Tell him that. The Lord appears in a cloud over the lid of the Covenant Box. So Aaron will die if he does not obey the Lord.

3This is how Aaron must go into the Most Holy Place. He must bring a young bull for a sin offering. He must also bring a male sheep for a burnt offering.

4He must wash his body before he puts on his special clothes. He must wear his linen robe and linen clothes next to his body. They are holy. He must tie a linen belt round his body. He must put the linen hat on his head. These clothes are holy.

5He must take two male goats for a sin offering. And he must take a male sheep for a burnt offering. They are a gift from Israel's people.

6Aaron must offer the bull as an atonement to the Lord for himself, his family and his servants.

7He must take the two goats to the door of the Tent of Meeting. They are a gift to the Lord.

8He must use the special stones. They will help him to decide what he should do. He must decide which goat is for the Lord. And he must decide which goat he must send away.

9Aaron must take the goat that is for the Lord. And he must kill it. It is a sin offering.

10He must not kill the other goat. It is an atonement to the Lord. It will pay for the bad things that the people have done. It is to take away the people's punishment. He must send it away into the desert.’

11‘Aaron must bring the bull and he must kill it. It is his atonement for his family's sins.

12He must take a pot of the hot material. It is burning on the altar in front of the Lord. He must fill his two hands with incense. He must take the hot material and the incense behind the curtain.

13He must put the incense on the burning material. It is in front of the Lord. The smoke will cover the lid of the Covenant Box. So he will not die.
