1 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 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. 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 he 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 lot 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 vail: 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 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: 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.
