5And he shall take from the congregation of the sons of Israel 1two male goats as a 2sin offering, and one ram as a burnt offering.

6Then 3Aaron shall offer the bull as the 4sin offering, which is for himself, so that he may make atonement for himself and for his household.

7He shall then take the two goats and present them before the Lord at the doorway of the tent of meeting.

8Aaron shall cast lots for the two goats, one lot for the Lord and the other lot for 5the 6scapegoat.
