Leviticus 16:1-10
1Now the Lord spoke to Moses after 1the death of the two sons of Aaron, when they had approached the presence of the Lord and died. 2The Lord said to Moses:
“Tell your brother Aaron that he shall not enter 2at any time into the holy place inside the veil, before the 3mercy seat which is on the ark, or he will die; for 4I will appear in the cloud over the 5mercy seat. 3Aaron shall enter the holy place with this: with a 6bull for a 7sin offering and a ram for a burnt offering. 4He shall put on the 8holy linen tunic, and the linen undergarments shall be next to his 9body, and he shall be girded with the linen sash and attired with the linen turban (these are holy garments). Then he shall 10bathe his 11body in water and put them on. 5He shall take from the congregation of the sons of Israel 12two male goats for a sin offering and one ram for a burnt offering. 6Then 13Aaron shall offer the bull for the sin offering which is for himself, that he may make atonement for himself and for his household. 7He shall take the two goats and present them before the Lord at the doorway of the tent of meeting. 8Aaron shall cast lots for the two goats, one lot for the Lord and the other lot for the 14scapegoat. 9Then Aaron shall offer the goat on which the lot for the Lord fell, and make it a sin offering. 10But the goat on which the lot for the 15scapegoat fell shall be presented alive before the Lord, to make 16atonement upon it, to send it into the wilderness as the 17scapegoat.
