Leviticus 16:20-34
20“When he finishesH3615 atoningH3722 for the holyH6944 place and the tentH168 of meetingH4150 and the altarH4196, he shall offerH7126 the liveH2416 goatH5795. 21Then AaronH175 shall layH5564 bothH8147 of his handsH3027 on the headH7218 of the liveH2416 goatH5795, and 1confessH3034 overH5921 it allH3605 the iniquitiesH5771 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 and allH3605 their transgressionsH6588 2in regard to allH3605 their sinsH2403; and he shall layH5414 them on the headH7218 of the goatH5795 and sendH7971 it awayH7971 into the wildernessH4057 by the handH3027 of a manH376 who stands in readinessH6261. 22The goatH5795 shall bearH5375 on itself allH3605 their iniquitiesH5771 to a solitaryH1509 landH776; and he shall releaseH7971 the goatH8163 in the wildernessH4057.
23“Then AaronH175 shall comeH935 into the tentH168 of meetingH4150 and takeH6584 offH6584 3the linenH906 garmentsH899 whichH834 he putH3847 on when he wentH935 into the holyH6944 place, and shall leaveH5117 them thereH8033. 244He shall batheH7364 his 5bodyH1320 with waterH4325 in a holyH6918 placeH4725 and putH3847 on 6his clothesH899, and comeH3318 forthH3318 and offerH6213 his burntH5930 offeringH5930 and the burntH5930 offeringH5930 of the peopleH5971 and makeH3722 atonementH3722 for himself and for the peopleH5971. 25Then he shall offerH6999 up in smokeH6999 the fatH2459 of the sinH2403 offeringH2403 on the altarH4196. 26The one who releasedH7971 the goatH8163 as the 7scapegoatH5799 8shall washH3526 his clothesH899 and batheH7364 his 9bodyH1320 with waterH4325; then afterwardH310H3651 he shall comeH935 into the campH4264. 27But the bullH6499 of the sinH2403 offeringH2403 and the goatH8163 of the sinH2403 offeringH2403, 10whoseH834 bloodH1818 was broughtH935 in to makeH3722 atonementH3722 in the holyH6944 place, shall be takenH3318 outsideH413H4480H2351 the campH4264, and they shall burnH8313 their hidesH5785, their fleshH1320, and their refuseH6569 in the fireH784. 28Then the 11one who burnsH8313 them shall washH3526 his clothesH899 and batheH7364 his bodyH1320 with waterH4325, then afterwardH310H3651 he shall comeH935 into the campH4264.
29“This shall be a permanentH5769 statuteH2708 for you: 12in the seventhH7637 monthH2320, on the tenthH6218 day of the monthH2320, you shall humbleH6031 your soulsH5315 and not 13doH6213 anyH3605 workH4399, whether the nativeH249, or the alienH1616 who sojournsH1481 amongH8432 you; 30for it is on thisH2088 dayH3117 that 14atonementH3722 shall be madeH3722 for you to 15cleanseH2891 you; you will be cleanH2891 from allH3605 your sinsH2403 beforeH6440 the LordH3068. 31It is to be a sabbathH7676 of solemnH7677 restH7677 for you, that you may 16humbleH6031 your soulsH5315; it is a permanentH5769 statuteH2708. 32So the priestH3548 whoH834 is anointedH4886 and 17ordainedH4390H3027 to serveH3547 as priestH3547 in his father’sH1 placeH8478 shall makeH3722 atonementH3722: he shall thus putH3847 on 18the linenH906 garmentsH899, the holyH6944 garmentsH899, 33and makeH3722 atonementH3722 for the holyH6944 sanctuaryH4720, and he shall makeH3722 atonementH3722 for the tentH168 of meetingH4150 and for the altarH4196. He shall also makeH3722 atonementH3722 for 19the priestsH3548 and for allH3605 the peopleH5971 of the assemblyH6951. 34Now you shall haveH1961 thisH2088 as a 20permanentH5769 statuteH2708, to 21makeH3722 atonementH3722 for the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 for allH3605 their sinsH2403 onceH259 every yearH8141.” And justH3512 as the LordH3068 had commandedH6680 MosesH4872, so he didH6213.
