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 1scapegoatH5799. 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 2scapegoatH5799 fellH5927 shall be presentedH5975 aliveH2416 beforeH6440 the LordH3068, to makeH3722 3atonementH3722 upon it, to sendH7971 it into the wildernessH4057 as the 4scapegoatH5799.

11“Then AaronH175 shall offerH7126 the bullH6499 of the sinH2403 offeringH2403 5whichH834 is for himself and makeH3722 atonementH3722 for himself and 6for his householdH1004, and he shall slaughterH7819 the bullH6499 of the sinH2403 offeringH2403 whichH834 is for himself. 12He shall takeH3947 a 7firepanH4289 fullH4393 of coalsH1513 of fireH784 from upon the altarH4196 beforeH4480H6440 the LordH3068 and 8two handfulsH4393H2651 of finelyH1851 groundH1851 9sweetH5561 incenseH7004, and bringH935 it insideH4480H1004 the veilH6532. 13He shall putH5414 the incenseH7004 on the fireH784 beforeH6440 the LordH3068, that the cloudH6051 of incenseH7004 may coverH3680 the 1011mercyH3727 seatH3727 that is on the ark of the testimonyH5715, 12otherwiseH3808 he will dieH4191. 14Moreover, 13he shall takeH3947 someH4480 of the bloodH1818 of the bullH6499 and sprinkleH5137 it 14with his fingerH676 on the 15mercyH3727 seatH3727 on the eastH6924 side; also in frontH6440 of the 16mercyH3727 seatH3727 he shall sprinkleH5137 someH4480 of the bloodH1818 with his fingerH676 sevenH7651 timesH6471.

15“Then he shall slaughterH7819 the goatH5795 of the sinH2403 offeringH2403 17whichH834 is for the peopleH5971, and bringH935 its bloodH1818 insideH413H4480H1004 the veilH6532 and doH6213 with its bloodH1818 as he didH6213 with the bloodH1818 of the bullH6499, and sprinkleH5137 it on the 18mercyH3727 seatH3727 and in frontH6440 of the 19mercyH3727 seatH3727. 1620He shall makeH3722 atonementH3722 for the holyH6944 place, becauseH4480 of the impuritiesH2932 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 and becauseH4480 of their transgressionsH6588 in regard to allH3605 their sinsH2403; and thusH3651 he shall doH6213 for the tentH168 of meetingH4150 which abidesH7931 with them in the midstH8432 of their impuritiesH2932. 17When he goesH935 in to makeH3722 atonementH3722 in the holyH6944 place, noH3808 oneH120 shall be in the tentH168 of meetingH4150 untilH5704 he comesH3318 out, that he may makeH3722 atonementH3722 for himself and for his householdH1004 and for allH3605 the assemblyH6951 of IsraelH3478. 18Then he shall goH3318 out to the altarH4196 that is beforeH6440 the LordH3068 and makeH3722 atonementH3722 for it, and shall takeH3947 someH4480 of the bloodH1818 of the bullH6499 and of the bloodH1818 of the goatH5795 and 21putH5414 it on the hornsH7161 of the altarH4196 on allH5439 sidesH5439. 1922With his fingerH676 he shall sprinkleH5137 someH4480 of the bloodH1818 on it sevenH7651 timesH6471 and cleanseH2891 it, and from the impuritiesH2932 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 consecrateH6942 it.

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 23confessH3034 overH5921 it allH3605 the iniquitiesH5771 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 and allH3605 their transgressionsH6588 24in 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.
