Leviticus 16:2-4

2The Lord said to Moses:

“Tell your brother Aaron that he shall not enter 1at 2any time into the Holy Place inside the veil, before the 3atoning cover which is on the ark, or he will die; for 4I will appear in the cloud over the 5atoning cover. 3Aaron shall enter the Holy Place with this: with a 6bull as a 7 8sin offering and a ram as a burnt offering. 4He shall put on the 9holy linen tunic, and the linen undergarments shall be next to his 10body, and he shall be wrapped about the waist with the linen sash and the linen turban wound around his forehead (these are holy garments). He shall 11bathe his 12body in water and put them on.
