3ThusH2063 shall AaronH175 comeH935 into the holyH6944 place: with a youngH1241H1121 bullockH6499 for a sin offeringH2403, and a ramH352 for a burnt offeringH5930.

4He shall put onH3847 the holyH6944 linenH906 coatH3801, and he shall have the linenH906 breechesH4370 upon his fleshH1320, and shall be girdedH2296 with a linenH906 girdleH73, and with the linenH906 mitreH4701 shall he be attiredH6801: theseH1992 are holyH6944 garmentsH899; therefore shall he washH7364 his fleshH1320 in waterH4325, and so put them onH3847.

5And he shall takeH3947 of the congregationH5712 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 twoH8147 kidsH8163 of the goatsH5795 for a sin offeringH2403, and oneH259 ramH352 for a burnt offeringH5930.

6And AaronH175 shall offerH7126 his bullockH6499 of the sin offeringH2403, which is for himselfH1157, and make an atonementH3722 for himself, and for his houseH1004.

7And he shall takeH3947 the twoH8147 goatsH8163, and presentH5975 them beforeH6440 YhwhH3068 at the doorH6607 of the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150.

8And AaronH175 shall castH5414 lotsH1486 upon the twoH8147 goatsH8163; oneH259 lotH1486 for YhwhH3068, and the otherH259 lotH1486 for the scapegoatH5799.1

9And AaronH175 shall bringH7126 the goatH8163 upon which Yhwh'sH3068 lotH1486 fellH5927, and offerH6213 him for a sin offeringH2403.2

10But the goatH8163, on which the lotH1486 fellH5927 to be the scapegoatH5799, shall be presentedH5975 aliveH2416 beforeH6440 YhwhH3068, to make an atonementH3722 with him, and to let him goH7971 for a scapegoatH5799 into the wildernessH4057.
