1And the LORD spake unto Moses after the
death of the two sons of Aaron, when they offered
before the LORD, and died;
2And the LORD said unto Moses, Speak unto
Aaron thy brother, that he come not at all times
into the holy place within
the vail before the mercy seat, which is upon
the ark; that he die not: for I will appear in the
cloud upon the mercy seat.
3Thus shall Aaron come into the holy place:
with a young bullock for a sin offering, and a ram
for a burnt offering.
4He shall put on the holy linen coat, and he
shall have the linen breeches upon his flesh, and
shall be girded with a linen girdle, and with the
linen mitre shall he be attired: these are holy
garments; therefore shall he wash his flesh in
water, and so put
them on.
5And he shall take of the congregation of the
children of Israel two kids of the goats for a sin
offering, and one ram for a burnt offering.
6And Aaron shall offer his bullock of the sin
offering, which is for
himself, and make an atonement for himself, and for
his house.
7And he shall take the two goats, and present
them before the LORD at the
door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
8And Aaron shall cast lots upon the two
goats; one lot for the LORD, and the other lot for
the scapegoat.
9And Aaron shall bring the goat upon which
the LORD'S lot fell, and offer him for a
sin offering.
10But the goat, on which the lot fell to be
the scapegoat, shall be presented alive before the
LORD, to make an atonement with him, and to
let him go for a scapegoat into the wilderness.
11And Aaron shall bring the bullock of the
sin offering, which is for
himself, and shall make an atonement for himself,
and for his house, and shall kill the bullock of the
sin offering which is for
himself:
12And he shall take a censer full of burning
coals of fire from off the altar before the LORD,
and his hands full of sweet incense beaten small,
and bring it within
the vail:
13And he shall put the incense upon the fire
before the LORD, that the cloud of the incense may
cover the mercy seat that is upon
the testimony, that he die not:
14And he shall take of the blood of the
bullock, and sprinkle it with
his finger upon the mercy seat eastward; and before
the mercy seat shall he sprinkle of the blood with
his finger seven times.
15Then shall he kill the goat of the sin
offering, that is for
the people, and bring his blood within the vail, and
do with that blood as he did with the blood of the
bullock, and sprinkle it upon the mercy seat, and
before the mercy seat:
16And he shall make an atonement for the
holy place,
because of the uncleanness of the children of
Israel, and because of their transgressions in all
their sins: and so shall he do for the tabernacle of
the congregation, that remaineth among them in the
midst of their uncleanness.
17And there shall be no man in the tabernacle
of the congregation when he goeth in to make an
atonement in the holy place,
until he come out, and have made an atonement for
himself, and for his household, and for all the
congregation of Israel.
18And he shall go out unto the altar that is before
the LORD, and make an atonement for it; and shall
take of the blood of the bullock, and of the blood
of the goat, and put it upon
the horns of the altar round about.
19And he shall sprinkle of the blood upon it
with his finger seven times, and cleanse it, and
hallow it from the uncleanness of the children of
Israel.
20And when he hath made an end of reconciling
the holy place,
and the tabernacle of the congregation, and the
altar, he shall bring the live goat:
21And Aaron shall lay both his hands upon the
head of the live goat, and confess over him all the
iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their
transgressions in all their sins, putting them upon
the head of the goat, and shall send him away
by the hand of a fit man into the wilderness:
22And the goat shall bear upon him all their
iniquities unto a land not inhabited: and he shall
let go the goat in the wilderness.
23And Aaron shall come into the tabernacle of
the congregation, and shall put off the linen
garments, which he put on when he went into the
holy place,
and shall leave them there:
24And he shall wash his flesh with water in
the holy place, and put on his garments, and come
forth, and offer his burnt offering, and the burnt
offering of the people, and make an atonement for
himself, and for the people.
25And the fat of the sin offering shall he
burn upon the altar.
26And he that let go the goat for the
scapegoat shall wash his clothes, and bathe his
flesh in water, and afterward come into the camp.
27And the bullock for the
sin offering, and the goat for the
sin offering, whose blood was brought in to make
atonement in the holy place,
shall one carry
forth without the camp; and they shall burn in the
fire their skins, and their flesh, and their dung.
28And he that burneth them shall wash his
clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward
he shall come into the camp.
29And this shall
be a statute for ever unto you: that in
the seventh month, on the tenth day of
the month, ye shall afflict your souls, and do no
work at all, whether
it be one of your own country, or a stranger
that sojourneth among you:
30For on that day shall the
priest make an atonement for you, to cleanse
you, that ye
may be clean from all your sins before the LORD.
31It shall
be a sabbath of rest unto you, and ye shall
afflict your souls, by a statute for ever.
32And the priest, whom he shall anoint, and
whom he shall consecrate to minister in the priest's
office in his father's stead, shall make the
atonement, and shall put on the linen clothes, even the
holy garments:
33And he shall make an atonement for the holy
sanctuary, and he shall make an atonement for the
tabernacle of the congregation, and for the altar,
and he shall make an atonement for the priests, and
for all the people of the congregation.
34And this shall be an everlasting statute
unto you, to make an atonement for the children of
Israel for all their sins once a year. And he did as
the LORD commanded Moses.
