2The LordH3068 saidH559 to MosesH4872:

“TellH1696 your brotherH251 AaronH175 that he shall not enterH935 1at 2anyH3605 timeH6256 into the HolyH6944 PlaceH6944 insideH4480H1004 the veilH6532, beforeH413H6440 the 3atoningH3727 coverH3727 whichH834 is on the arkH727, orH3808 he will dieH4191; for 4I will appearH7200 in the cloudH6051 overH5921 the 5atoningH3727 coverH3727. 3AaronH175 shall enterH935 the HolyH6944 PlaceH6944 with thisH2088: with a 6bullH6499H1121H1241 as a 78sinH2403 offeringH2403 and a ramH352 as a burntH5930 offeringH5930. 4He shall putH3847 onH3847 the 9holyH6944 linenH906 tunicH3801, and the linenH906 undergarmentsH4370 shall be nextH5921 to his 10bodyH1320, 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 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.

11“Then AaronH175 shall offerH7126 the bullH6499 of the 25sinH2403 offeringH2403 26whichH834 is for himself and makeH3722 atonementH3722 for himself and 27for his householdH1004, and he shall slaughterH7819 the bullH6499 of the 28sinH2403 offeringH2403 whichH834 is for himself. 12He shall takeH3947 a 29firepanH4289 fullH4393 of coalsH1513 of fireH784 from upon the altarH4196 beforeH4480H6440 the LordH3068 and 30two handfulsH4393H2651 of finelyH1851 groundH1851 31sweetH5561 incenseH7004, and bringH935 it insideH4480H1004 the veilH6532. 13He shall putH5414 the incenseH7004 on the fireH784 beforeH6440 the LordH3068, so that the cloudH6051 of incenseH7004 may coverH3680 the 32atoningH3727 coverH3727 that is on the ark of the testimonyH5715, 33otherwiseH3808 he will dieH4191. 14Moreover, 34he shall takeH3947 someH4480 of the bloodH1818 of the bullH6499 and sprinkleH5137 it 35with his fingerH676 on the atoningH3727 coverH3727 on the eastH6924 side; also in frontH6440 of the atoningH3727 coverH3727 he shall sprinkleH5137 someH4480 of the bloodH1818 with his fingerH676 sevenH7651 timesH6471.

15“Then he shall slaughterH7819 the goatH5795 of the sinH2403 offeringH2403, 36whichH834 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 atoningH3727 coverH3727 and in frontH6440 of the atoningH3727 coverH3727. 1637He shall makeH3722 atonementH3722 for the HolyH6944 PlaceH6944, becauseH4480 of the impuritiesH2932 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 and becauseH4480 of their unlawfulH6588 actsH6588 regarding allH3605 their sinsH2403; and he shall doH6213 soH3651 for the tentH168 of meetingH4150 which remainsH7931 with them in the midstH8432 of their impuritiesH2932. 17When he goesH935 inH935 to makeH3722 atonementH3722 in the HolyH6944 PlaceH6944, noH3808 oneH120 shall be in the tentH168 of meetingH4150 untilH5704 he comesH3318 outH3318, so that he may makeH3722 atonementH3722 for himself and for his householdH1004, and for allH3605 the assemblyH6951 of IsraelH3478. 18Then he shall goH3318 outH3318 to the altarH4196 that is beforeH6440 the LordH3068 and makeH3722 atonementH3722 for it; he shall takeH3947 someH4480 of the bloodH1818 from the bullH6499 and some of the bloodH1818 from the goatH5795, and 38putH5414 it on the hornsH7161 of the altarH4196 on allH5439 sidesH5439. 1939With his fingerH676 he shall sprinkleH5137 someH4480 of the bloodH1818 on it sevenH7651 timesH6471 and cleanseH2891 it, and consecrateH6942 it from the impuritiesH2932 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478.
