“TellH1696 your brotherH251 AaronH175 that he shall not enterH935 2at 3anyH3605 timeH6256 into the HolyH6944 PlaceH6944 insideH4480 H1004 the veilH6532, beforeH413 H6440 the 4atoningH3727 coverH3727 whichH834 is on the arkH727, orH3808 he will dieH4191; for 5I will appearH7200 in the cloudH6051 overH5921 the 6atoningH3727 coverH3727. 3AaronH175 shall enterH935 the HolyH6944 PlaceH6944 with thisH2088: with a 7bullH6499 H1121 H1241 as a 8 9sinH2403 offeringH2403 and a ramH352 as a burntH5930 offeringH5930. 4He shall putH3847 onH3847 the 10holyH6944 linenH906 tunicH3801, and the linenH906 undergarmentsH4370 shall be nextH5921 to his 11bodyH1320, and he shall be wrappedH2296 aboutH2296 theH2296 waistH2296 with the linenH906 sashH73 and the linenH906 turbanH4701 woundH6801 aroundH6801 his forehead (theseH1992 are holyH6944 garmentsH899). He shall 12batheH7364 his 13bodyH1320 in waterH4325 and putH3847 them onH3847. 5And he shall takeH3947 from the congregationH5712 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 14twoH8147 maleH8163 goatsH5795 as a 15sinH2403 offeringH2403, and oneH259 ramH352 as a burntH5930 offeringH5930. 6Then 16AaronH175 shall offerH7126 the bullH6499 as the 17sinH2403 offeringH2403, whichH834 is for himself, so that he may makeH3722 atonementH3722 for himself and for his householdH1004. 7He shall then 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 18the 19scapegoatH5799. 9Then AaronH175 shall offerH7126 the goatH5795 on whichH834 the lotH1486 for the LordH3068 fellH5927, and makeH6213 it a 20sinH2403 offeringH2403. 10But the goatH5795 on whichH834 the lotH1486 for 21the 22scapegoatH5799 fellH5927 shall be presentedH5975 aliveH2416 beforeH6440 the LordH3068, to makeH3722 23atonementH3722 upon it, to sendH7971 it into the wildernessH4057 24as the 25scapegoatH5799.
