Leviticus 16:2-13

2and the Lord said to Moses: “Tell Aaron your brother that he must not enter at any time into the holy place inside the veil-canopy in front of the atonement plate that is on the ark so that he may not die, for I will appear in the cloud over the atonement plate.

3“In this way Aaron is to enter into the sanctuary – with a young bull for a sin offering and a ram for a burnt offering.

4He must put on a holy linen tunic, linen leggings are to cover his body, and he is to wrap himself with a linen sash and wrap his head with a linen turban. They are holy garments, so he must bathe his body in water and put them on.

5He must also take two male goats from the congregation of the Israelites for a sin offering and one ram for a burnt offering.

6Then Aaron is to present the sin offering bull which is for himself and is to make atonement on behalf of himself and his household.

7He must then take the two goats and stand them before the Lord at the entrance of the Meeting Tent,

8and Aaron is to cast lots over the two goats, one lot for the Lord and one lot for Azazel.

9Aaron must then present the goat which has been designated by lot for the Lord, and he is to make it a sin offering,

10but the goat which has been designated by lot for Azazel is to be stood alive before the Lord to make atonement on it by sending it away to Azazel into the wilderness.

11“Aaron is to present the sin offering bull which is for himself, and he is to make atonement on behalf of himself and his household. He is to slaughter the sin offering bull which is for himself,

12and take a censer full of coals of fire from the altar before the Lord and a full double handful of finely ground fragrant incense, and bring them inside the veil-canopy.

13He must then put the incense on the fire before the Lord, and the cloud of incense will cover the atonement plate which is above the ark of the testimony, so that he will not die.
