AND the LORD spake unto
Moses after the death of the two sons of Aaron, when they offered before the
LORD, and died;
2 And the LORD said unto
Moses, Speak unto Aaron thy brother, that he come not at all times into the holy
place within the veil before the mercy seat, which is upon the ark; that he
die not: for I will appear in the
cloud upon the mercy seat.
3 Thus shall Aaron come
into the holy place; with a young bullock for a sin offering; and a ram for a
burnt offering.
4 He 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 be attired: these are holy garments; therefore shall
he wash his flesh in water, and so put them on.
5 And 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.
6 And Aaron shall offer his
bullock of the sin offering, which is for himself, and make an atonement for
himself, and for his house.
7 And he shall take the two
goats, and present them before the LORD at the door of the tabernacle of the
congregation.
8 And Aaron shall cast lots
upon the two goats; one lot for the LORD, and the other for the scapegoat.
9 And Aaron shall bring the
goat upon which the LORD's lot fell, and offer him for a sin offering.
10 But 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.
11 And 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:
12 And 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 veil:
13 And 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:
14 And 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.
15 Then shall he kill the
goat of the sin offering, that is for the people, and bring his blood within
the veil, 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:
16 And 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.
17 And 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.
18 And 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.
19 And 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.
20 And 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:
21 And 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.
22 And the goat shall bear
upon him all their iniquities unto a land not inhabited: and he shall let go the goat in the
wilderness.
23 And 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:
24 And 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.
25 And the fat of the sin
offering shall he burn upon the altar.
26 And 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.
27 And 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.
28 And he that burneth them
shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall
come into the camp.
29 And 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:
30 For 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.
31 It shall be a Sabbath of
rest unto you, and ye shall afflict your souls, by a statute for ever.
32 And 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:
33 And 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.
34 And 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.
