20“When he finishesH3615 atoningH3722 for the HolyH6944 PlaceH6944 and the tentH168 of meetingH4150 and the altarH4196, he shall offerH7126 the liveH2416 goatH5795. 21Then AaronH175 shall layH5564 bothH8147 of his handsH3027 on the headH7218 of the liveH2416 goatH5795, and 1confessH3034 overH5921 it allH3605 the wrongdoingsH5771 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 and allH3605 their unlawfulH6588 actsH6588 regarding allH3605 their sinsH2403; and he shall placeH5414 them on the headH7218 of the goatH5795 and sendH7971 it awayH7971 into the wildernessH4057 by the handH3027 of a manH376 who stands readyH6261. 22Then the goatH5795 shall carryH5375 on itself allH3605 their wrongdoingsH5771 to an 2isolatedH1509 territoryH776; he shall releaseH7971 the goatH8163 in the wildernessH4057.

23“Then AaronH175 shall comeH935 into the tentH168 of meetingH4150 and takeH6584 offH6584 3the linenH906 garmentsH899 whichH834 he putH3847 onH3847 when he wentH935 into the HolyH6944 PlaceH6944, and shall leaveH5117 them thereH8033. 24And 4he shall batheH7364 his 5bodyH1320 with waterH4325 in a holyH6918 placeH4725 and putH3847 onH3847 6his clothesH899, and comeH3318 outH3318 and offerH6213 his burntH5930 offeringH5930 and the burntH5930 offeringH5930 of the peopleH5971, and makeH3722 atonementH3722 for himself and for the peopleH5971. 25Then he shall offerH6999 upH6999 inH6999 smokeH6999 the fatH2459 of the sinH2403 offeringH2403 on the altarH4196. 26The one who releasedH7971 the goatH8163 7as the 8scapegoatH5799 9shall washH3526 his clothesH899 and batheH7364 his 10bodyH1320 with waterH4325; then afterwardH310H3651 he shall comeH935 into the campH4264. 27But the bullH6499 of the 11sinH2403 offeringH2403 and the goatH8163 of the 12sinH2403 offeringH2403, 13whoseH834 bloodH1818 was broughtH935 inH935 to makeH3722 atonementH3722 in the HolyH6944 PlaceH6944, shall be takenH3318 outsideH413H4480H2351 the campH4264, and they shall burnH8313 their hidesH5785, their fleshH1320, and their refuseH6569 in the fireH784. 28Then the 14one who burnsH8313 them shall washH3526 his clothesH899 and batheH7364 his bodyH1320 with waterH4325; and afterwardH310H3651 he shall comeH935 into the campH4264.

29“This shall be a permanentH5769 statuteH2708 for you: 15in the seventhH7637 monthH2320, on the tenthH6218 day of the monthH2320, you shall humbleH6031 16yourselvesH5315 and not 17doH6213 anyH3605 workH4399, whether the nativeH249, or the strangerH1616 who residesH1481 amongH8432 you; 30for it is on thisH2088 dayH3117 that 18atonementH3722 shall be madeH3722 for you to 19cleanseH2891 you; you will beH2891 cleanH2891 from allH3605 your sinsH2403 beforeH6440 the LordH3068. 31It is to be a SabbathH7676 of solemnH7677 restH7677 for you, so that you may 20humbleH6031 21yourselvesH5315; it is a permanentH5769 statuteH2708. 32So the priestH3548 whoH834 is anointedH4886 and 22ordainedH4390H3027 to serveH3547 asH3547 priestH3547 inH8478 his father’sH1 placeH8478 shall makeH3722 atonementH3722: he shall putH3847 onH3847 23the linenH906 garmentsH899, the holyH6944 garmentsH899,
