Leviticus 16:2-19

2and the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto MosesH4872, SpeakH1696 unto AaronH175 thy brotherH251, that he comeH935 notH3808 at allH3605 timesH6256 intoH413 the holyH6944 placeH6944 withinH5921 the veilH6532, beforeH6440 the mercy-seat whichH834 is uponH5921 the arkH727; that he dieH4191 notH3808: for I will appearH7200 in the cloudH6051 uponH5921 the mercy-seat.

3Herewith shall AaronH175 comeH935 intoH413 the holyH6944 placeH6944: with a youngH1121 bullock for a sinH2403 offering, and a ramH352 for a burntH5930 offering.

4He shall putH3847 on the holyH6944 linenH906 coatH3801, and he shall have the linenH906 breechesH4370 uponH5921 his fleshH1320, and shall be girdedH2296 with the linenH906 girdle, and with the linenH906 mitre shall he be attiredH6801: they are the holyH6944 garmentsH899; and he shall batheH7364 his fleshH1320 in waterH4325, and putH3847 them on.

5And he shall takeH3947 of the congregationH5712 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 twoH8147 he-goats for a sinH2403 offering, and one ramH352 for a burntH5930 offering.

6And AaronH175 shall presentH7126 the bullock of the sinH2403 offering, whichH834 is for himselfH1157, and make atonementH3722 for himselfH1157, and for his houseH1004.

7And he shall takeH3947 the twoH8147 goatsH8163, and setH5975 them beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 at the doorH6607 of the tentH168 of meetingH4150.

8And AaronH175 shall castH5414 lotsH1486 uponH5921 the twoH8147 goatsH8163; one lotH1486 for the LORDH3068, and the otherH259 lotH1486 for Azazel.

9And AaronH175 shall presentH7126 the goatH8163 uponH5921 whichH834 the lotH1486 fellH5927 for the LORDH3068, and offerH7126 him for a sinH2403 offering.

10But the goatH8163, on whichH834 the lotH1486 fellH5927 for Azazel, shall be setH5975 aliveH2416 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, to makeH5975 atonementH3722 for him, to sendH7971 him awayH7971 for Azazel intoH5921 the wildernessH4057.

11And AaronH175 shall presentH7126 the bullock of the sinH2403 offering, whichH834 is for himselfH1157, and shall make atonementH3722 for himselfH1157, and for his houseH1004, and shall killH7819 the bullock of the sinH2403 offering whichH834 is for himselfH1157:

12and he shall takeH3947 a censerH4289 fullH4393 of coalsH1513 of fireH784 from offH5921 the altarH4196 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, and his handsH2651 fullH4393 of sweetH5561 incenseH7004 beaten small, and bringH935 it withinH5921 the veilH6532:

13and he shall putH5414 the incenseH7004 uponH5921 the fireH784 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, that the cloudH6051 of the incenseH7004 may coverH3680 the mercy-seat that is uponH5921 the testimonyH5715, that he dieH4191 notH3808:

14and he shall takeH3947 of the bloodH1818 of the bullock, and sprinkle it with his fingerH676 uponH5921 the mercy-seat on the eastH6924; and beforeH6440 the mercy-seat shall he sprinkle of the bloodH1818 with his fingerH676 sevenH7651 timesH6471.

15Then shall he killH7819 the goatH8163 of the sinH2403 offering, that is for the peopleH5971, and bringH935 his bloodH1818 withinH5921 the veilH6532, and doH6213 with his bloodH1818 as he didH6213 with the bloodH1818 of the bullock, and sprinkle it uponH5921 the mercy-seat, and beforeH6440 the mercy-seat:

16and he shall makeH6213 atonementH3722 for the holyH6944 placeH6944, becauseH5921 of the uncleannesses of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and becauseH5921 of their transgressionsH6588, evenH3651 allH3605 their sinsH2403: and soH3651 shall he doH6213 for the tentH168 of meetingH4150, that dwelleth with them in the midstH8432 of their uncleannesses.

17And there shall be noH3808 manH120 in the tentH168 of meetingH4150 when he goeth in to make atonementH3722 in the holyH6944 placeH6944, untilH5704 he comeH935 outH3318, and have madeH1961 atonementH3722 for himselfH3808, and for his householdH1004, and for allH3605 the assemblyH6951 of IsraelH3478.

18And he shall goH3318 outH3318 unto the altarH4196 that is beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, and makeH5414 atonementH3722 for it; and shall takeH3947 of the bloodH1818 of the bullock, and of the bloodH1818 of the goatH8163, and putH5414 it uponH5921 the hornsH7161 of the altarH4196 roundH5439 aboutH5439.

19And he shall sprinkle of the bloodH1818 uponH5921 it with his fingerH676 sevenH7651 timesH6471, and cleanseH2891 it, and hallow it from the uncleannesses of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
