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 1the 2scapegoatH5799. 9Then AaronH175 shall offerH7126 the goatH5795 on whichH834 the lotH1486 for the LordH3068 fellH5927, and makeH6213 it a 3sinH2403 offeringH2403. 10But the goatH5795 on whichH834 the lotH1486 for 4the 5scapegoatH5799 fellH5927 shall be presentedH5975 aliveH2416 beforeH6440 the LordH3068, to makeH3722 6atonementH3722 upon it, to sendH7971 it into the wildernessH4057 7as the 8scapegoatH5799.

11“Then AaronH175 shall offerH7126 the bullH6499 of the 9sinH2403 offeringH2403 10whichH834 is for himself and makeH3722 atonementH3722 for himself and 11for his householdH1004, and he shall slaughterH7819 the bullH6499 of the 12sinH2403 offeringH2403 whichH834 is for himself. 12He shall takeH3947 a 13firepanH4289 fullH4393 of coalsH1513 of fireH784 from upon the altarH4196 beforeH4480H6440 the LordH3068 and 14two handfulsH4393H2651 of finelyH1851 groundH1851 15sweetH5561 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 16atoningH3727 coverH3727 that is on the ark of the testimonyH5715, 17otherwiseH3808 he will dieH4191. 14Moreover, 18he shall takeH3947 someH4480 of the bloodH1818 of the bullH6499 and sprinkleH5137 it 19with 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, 20whichH834 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. 1621He 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 22putH5414 it on the hornsH7161 of the altarH4196 on allH5439 sidesH5439. 1923With 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.

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 24confessH3034 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 25isolatedH1509 territoryH776; he shall releaseH7971 the goatH8163 in the wildernessH4057.
