“TellH1696 your brotherH251 AaronH175 that he shall not enterH935 1at anyH3605 timeH6256 into the holyH6944 place insideH4480 H1004 the veilH6532, beforeH413 H6440 the 2mercyH3727 seatH3727 whichH834 is on the arkH727, orH3808 he will dieH4191; for 3I will appearH7200 in the cloudH6051 overH5921 the 4mercyH3727 seatH3727. 3AaronH175 shall enterH935 the holyH6944 place with thisH2088: with a 5bullH6499 H1121 H1241 for a 6sinH2403 offeringH2403 and a ramH352 for a burntH5930 offeringH5930. 4He shall putH3847 on the 7holyH6944 linenH906 tunicH3801, and the linenH906 undergarmentsH4370 shall be nextH5921 to his 8bodyH1320, and he shall be girdedH2296 with the linenH906 sashH73 and attiredH6801 with the linenH906 turbanH4701 (theseH1992 are holyH6944 garmentsH899). Then he shall 9batheH7364 his 10bodyH1320 in waterH4325 and putH3847 them on. 5He shall takeH3947 from the congregationH5712 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 11twoH8147 maleH8163 goatsH5795 for a sinH2403 offeringH2403 and oneH259 ramH352 for a burntH5930 offeringH5930. 6Then 12AaronH175 shall offerH7126 the bullH6499 for the sinH2403 offeringH2403 whichH834 is for himself, that he may makeH3722 atonementH3722 for himself and for his householdH1004. 7He shall takeH3947 the twoH8147 goatsH8163 and presentH5975 them beforeH6440 the LordH3068 at the doorwayH6607 of the tentH168 of meetingH4150. 8AaronH175 shall castH5414 lotsH1486 for the twoH8147 goatsH8163, oneH259 lotH1486 for the LordH3068 and the otherH259 lotH1486 for the 13scapegoatH5799. 9Then AaronH175 shall offerH7126 the goatH5795 on whichH834 the lotH1486 for the LordH3068 fellH5927, and makeH6213 it a sinH2403 offeringH2403. 10But the goatH5795 on whichH834 the lotH1486 for the 14scapegoatH5799 fellH5927 shall be presentedH5975 aliveH2416 beforeH6440 the LordH3068, to makeH3722 15atonementH3722 upon it, to sendH7971 it into the wildernessH4057 as the 16scapegoatH5799.

11“Then AaronH175 shall offerH7126 the bullH6499 of the sinH2403 offeringH2403 17whichH834 is for himself and makeH3722 atonementH3722 for himself and 18for his householdH1004, and he shall slaughterH7819 the bullH6499 of the sinH2403 offeringH2403 whichH834 is for himself. 12He shall takeH3947 a 19firepanH4289 fullH4393 of coalsH1513 of fireH784 from upon the altarH4196 beforeH4480 H6440 the LordH3068 and 20two handfulsH4393 H2651 of finelyH1851 groundH1851 21sweetH5561 incenseH7004, and bringH935 it insideH4480 H1004 the veilH6532. 13He shall putH5414 the incenseH7004 on the fireH784 beforeH6440 the LordH3068, that the cloudH6051 of incenseH7004 may coverH3680 the 22 23mercyH3727 seatH3727 that is on the ark of the testimonyH5715, 24otherwiseH3808 he will dieH4191.
