Leviticus 16:24-34

241He shall bathe his 2body with water in a holy place and put on 3his clothes, and come forth and offer his burnt offering and the burnt offering of the people and make atonement for himself and for the people. 25Then he shall offer up in smoke the fat of the sin offering on the altar. 26The one who released the goat as the 4scapegoat 5shall wash his clothes and bathe his 6body with water; then afterward he shall come into the camp. 27But the bull of the sin offering and the goat of the sin offering, 7whose blood was brought in to make atonement in the holy place, shall be taken outside the camp, and they shall burn their hides, their flesh, and their refuse in the fire. 28Then the 8one who burns them shall wash his clothes and bathe his body with water, then afterward he shall come into the camp.

29“This shall be a permanent statute for you: 9in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, you shall humble your souls and not 10do any work, whether the native, or the alien who sojourns among you; 30for it is on this day that 11atonement shall be made for you to 12cleanse you; you will be clean from all your sins before the Lord. 31It is to be a sabbath of solemn rest for you, that you may 13humble your souls; it is a permanent statute. 32So the priest who is anointed and 14ordained to serve as priest in his father’s place shall make atonement: he shall thus put on 15the linen garments, the holy garments, 33and make atonement for the holy sanctuary, and he shall make atonement for the tent of meeting and for the altar. He shall also make atonement for 16the priests and for all the people of the assembly. 34Now you shall have this as a 17permanent statute, to 18make atonement for the sons of Israel for all their sins once every year.” And just as the Lord had commanded Moses, so he did.
