Context of Leviticus 16:32

30for on this day atonement is to be made for you to cleanse you from all your sins; you must be clean before the Lord. 31It is to be a Sabbath of complete rest for you, and you must humble yourselves. It is a perpetual statute. “The priest who is anointed and ordained to act as high priest in place of his father is to make atonement. He is to put on the linen garments, the holy garments, 33and he is to purify the Most Holy Place, he is to purify the Meeting Tent and the altar, and he is to make atonement for the priests and for all the people of the assembly. 34This is to be a perpetual statute for you to make atonement for the Israelites for all their sins once a year.” So he did just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
