Leviticus:16:2-24
Seeker Overlay ON
*
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 .
*
Thus shall Aaron come into the holy place :
with a young bullock for a sin offering ,
and a ram for a burnt offering .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
And Aaron shall offer his bullock of the sin offering ,
which is for himself ,
and make an atonement for himself ,
and for his house .
*
And he shall take the two goats ,
and present them before the LORD at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation .
*
And Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats ;
one lot for the LORD ,
and the other lot for the scapegoat .
*
And Aaron shall bring the goat upon which the LORD '
S lot fell ,
and offer him for a sin offering .
*
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 .
*
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 :
*
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 :
*
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 :
*
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 .
*
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 :
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 :
*
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 :
*
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 .
*
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 :
*
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 .
