How the high priest must enter into the holy place.

1 ¶ And the LORDº spakeºª unto² Mosesº afterº the deathº of the twoº sonsº of Aaron,º when they offeredºª beforeº the LORD,º and died;ºª 2 And the LORDº saidºª unto² Moses,º Speakºª unto² Aaronº thy brother,º that he comeºª not² at all² timesº into² the holyº [place] withinº² the vailº beforeº² the mercy seat,º which² [is] upon² the ark;º that he dieºª not:² for² I will appearºª in the cloudº upon² the mercy¹ seat.² 3 Thusº shall Aaronº comeºª into² the holyº [place]: with a youngºº bullockº for a sin offering,º and a ramº for a burnt offering.º 4 He shall put onºª the holyº linenº coat,º and he shall have² the linenº breechesº upon² his flesh,º and shall be girdedºª with a linenº girdle,º and with the linenº mitreº shall he be attired:ºª theseº [are] holyº garments;º therefore shall he washºª² his fleshº in water,º and [so] put them on.ºª 5 And he shall takeºª of²² the congregationº of the childrenº of Israelº twoº kidsº of the goatsº for a sin offering,º and oneº ramº for a burnt offering.º 6 And Aaronº shall offerºª² his bullockº of the sin offering,º which² [is] for himself,¹ and make an atonementºª for² himself, and for² his house.º 7 And he shall takeºª² the twoº goats,º and presentºª them beforeº the LORDº [at] the doorº of the tabernacleº of the congregation.º 8 And Aaronº shall castºª lotsº upon² the twoº goats;º oneº lotº for the LORD,º and the otherº lotº for the scapegoat.º 9 And Aaronº shall bringºª² the goatº upon² which² the LORD'Sº lotº fell,ºª and offerºª him [for] a sin offering.º 10 But the goat,º on² which² the lotº fellºª to be the scapegoat,º shall be presentedºª aliveº beforeº the LORD,º to make an atonementºª with² him, [and] to let him goºª² for a scapegoatº into the wilderness.º

The sin offering for himself.

11 And Aaronº shall bringºª² the bullockº of the sin offering,º which² [is] for himself, and shall make an atonementºª for² himself, and for² his house,º and shall killºª² the bullockº of the sin offeringº which² [is] for himself: 12 And he shall takeºª a censerº fullº of burning¹ª coalsº of fireº from off²² the altarº beforeº² the LORD,º and his handsº fullº of sweetº incenseº beaten small,º and bringºª [it] withinº² the vail:º 13 And he shall putºª² the incenseº upon² the fireº beforeº the LORD,º that the cloudº of the incenseº may coverºª² the mercy seatº that² [is] upon² the testimony,º that he dieºª not:² 14 And he shall takeºª of the bloodº² of the bullock,º and sprinkleºª [it] with his fingerº upon²² the mercy seatº eastward;º and beforeº the mercy seatº shall he sprinkleºª of² the bloodº with his fingerº sevenº times.º

The sin offering for the people.

15 ¶ Then shall he killºª² the goatº of the sin offering,º that² [is] for the people,º and bringºª² his bloodº withinº²² the vail,º and doºª with² that bloodº as² he didºª with the bloodº of the bullock,º and sprinkleºª it upon² the mercy seat,º and beforeº the mercy seat:º 16 And he shall make an atonementºª for² the holyº [place], because of the uncleannessº² of the childrenº of Israel,º and because of their transgressionsº² in all² their sins:º and so² shall he doºª for the tabernacleº of the congregation,º that remainethºª among² them in the midstº of their uncleanness.º 17 And there shall be² no²² manº in the tabernacleº of the congregationº when he goeth¹ª in² to make an atonementºª in the holyº [place], until² he come out,ºª and have made an atonementºª for² himself, and for² his household,º and for² all² the congregationº of Israel.º 18 And he shall go outºª unto² the altarº that² [is] beforeº the LORD,º and make an atonementºª for² it; and shall takeºª of the bloodº² of the bullock,º and of the bloodº² of the goat,º and putºª [it] upon² the hornsº of the altarº round about.º 19 And he shall sprinkleºª of² the bloodº upon² it with his fingerº sevenº times,º and cleanseºª it, and hallowºª it from the uncleannessº² of the childrenº of Israel.º

The scapegoat.

20 ¶ And when he hath made an endºª of reconcilingºª²² the holyº [place], and the tabernacleº of the congregation,º and the altar,º he shall bringºª² the liveº goat:º 21 And Aaronº shall layºª² bothº his handsº upon² the headº of the liveº goat,º and confessºª over² him² all² the iniquitiesº of the childrenº of Israel,º and all² their transgressionsº in all² their sins,º puttingºª them upon² the headº of the goat,º and shall send [him] awayºª by the handº of a fitº manº into the wilderness:º 22 And the goatº shall bearºª upon² him² all² their iniquitiesº unto² a landº not inhabited:º and he shall let goºª² the goatº in the wilderness.º 23 And Aaronº shall comeºª into² the tabernacleº of the congregation,º and shall put offºª² the linenº garments,º which² he put onºª when he wentºª into² the holyº [place], and shall leave¹ª² them there:² 24 And he shall washºª² his fleshº with waterº in the holyº place,º and put onºª² his garments,º and come forth,ºª and offerºª² his burnt offering,º and the burnt offeringº of the people,º and make an atonementºª for² himself, and for² the people.º 25 And the fatº of the sin offeringº shall he burnºª upon the altar.º 26 And he that let goºª² the goatº for the scapegoatº shall washºª his clothes,º and batheºª² his fleshº in water,º and afterwardº² comeºª into² the camp.º 27 And the bullockº [for] the sin offering,º and the goatº [for] the sin offering,º² whose² bloodº was brought inºª to make atonementºª in the holyº [place], shall [one] carry forthºª withoutº²² the camp;º and they shall burnºª in the fireº² their skins,º and their flesh,º and their dung.º 28 And he that burnethºª them shall washºª his clothes,º and batheºª² his fleshº in water,º and afterwardº² he shall comeºª into² the camp.º

The yearly feast of the expiations.

29 ¶ And [this] shall be² a statuteº for everº unto you: [that] in the seventhº month,º on the tenthº [day] of the month,º ye shall afflictºª² your souls,º and doºª no² workº at all,² [whether it be] one of your own country,º or a strangerº that sojournethºª amongº you: 30 For² on that² dayº shall [the priest] make an atonementºª for² you, to cleanseºª you, [that] ye may be cleanºª from all²² your sinsº beforeº the LORD.º 31 It² [shall be] a sabbathº of restº unto you, and ye shall afflictºª² your souls,º by a statuteº for ever.º 32 And the priest,º whom² he shall anoint,ºª and whom² he shall consecrateººª² to minister in the priest's officeºª in his father's¹ stead,²² shall make the atonement,ºª and shall put onºª² the linenº clothes,º [even] the holyº garments:º 33 And he shall make an atonementºª for² the holyº sanctuary,º and he shall make an atonementºª for the tabernacleº of the congregation,º and for the altar,º and he shall make an atonementºª for² the priests,º and for² all² the peopleº of the congregation.º 34 And this² shall be² an everlastingº statuteº unto you, to make an atonementºª for² the childrenº of Israelº for all²² their sinsº onceº a year.º And he didºª as² the LORDº commandedºª² Moses.º
