He shall 11batheH7364 his 12bodyH1320 in waterH4325 and putH3847 them onH3847. 5And he shall takeH3947 from the congregationH5712 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 13twoH8147 maleH8163 goatsH5795 as a 14sinH2403 offeringH2403, and oneH259 ramH352 as a burntH5930 offeringH5930. 6Then 15AaronH175 shall offerH7126 the bullH6499 as the 16sinH2403 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 17the 18scapegoatH5799. 9Then AaronH175 shall offerH7126 the goatH5795 on whichH834 the lotH1486 for the LordH3068 fellH5927, and makeH6213 it a 19sinH2403 offeringH2403. 10But the goatH5795 on whichH834 the lotH1486 for 20the 21scapegoatH5799 fellH5927 shall be presentedH5975 aliveH2416 beforeH6440 the LordH3068, to makeH3722 22atonementH3722 upon it, to sendH7971 it into the wildernessH4057 23as the 24scapegoatH5799.
