* And Jehovah spoke to Moses after the death of the two sons of Aaron , when they came near before Jehovah and died ; * and Jehovah said to Moses , Speak unto Aaron thy brother , that he come not at all times into the sanctuary inside 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 . * In this manner shall Aaron come into the sanctuary : with a young bullock for a sin-offering , and a ram for a burnt-offering . * A holy linen vest shall he put on , and linen trousers shall be upon his flesh , and he shall be girded with a linen girdle , and with the linen mitre shall he be attired : these are holy garments ; and he shall bathe his flesh in water , and put them on . * And of the assembly of the children of Israel shall he take two bucks of the goats for a sin-offering , and one ram for a burnt-offering . * And Aaron shall present the bullock of the sin-offering , which is for himself , and make atonement for himself , and for his house . * And he shall take the two goats , and set them before Jehovah , before the entrance of the tent of meeting . * And Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats : one lot for Jehovah , and the other lot for Azazel . * And Aaron shall present the goat upon which the lot fell for Jehovah , and offer it [as ] a sin-offering . * And the goat upon which the lot fell for Azazel shall be set alive before Jehovah , to make atonement with it , to send it away as Azazel into the wilderness . * And Aaron shall present the bullock of the sin-offering , which is for himself , and shall make atonement for himself and for his house , and shall slaughter the bullock of the sin-offering which is for himself . * And he shall take the censer full of burning coals of fire from off the altar before Jehovah , and both his hands full of fragrant incense beaten small , and bring it inside the veil . * And he shall put the incense upon the fire before Jehovah , that the cloud of the incense may cover the mercy-seat which is upon the testimony , that he die not . * And he shall take of the blood of the bullock , and sprinkle with his finger upon the front of the mercy-seat eastward ; and before the mercy-seat shall he sprinkle of the blood seven times with his finger . * And he shall slaughter the goat of the sin-offering , which is for the people , and bring its blood inside the veil , and do with its 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 atonement for the sanctuary , [to cleanse it ] from the uncleanness of the children of Israel , and from their transgressions in all their sins ; and so shall he do for the tent of meeting which dwelleth among them in the midst of their uncleanness . * And there shall be no man in the tent of meeting when he goeth in to make atonement in the sanctuary until he come out ; and he shall make atonement for himself , and for his house , and for the whole congregation of Israel . * And he shall go out unto the altar which is before Jehovah , and make atonement for it ; and shall take of the blood of the bullock , and of the goat , and put it upon the horns of the altar round about ; * and he shall sprinkle upon it of the blood with his finger seven times , and cleanse it , and hallow it from the uncleannesses of the children of Israel . * And when he hath ended making atonement for the sanctuary , and the tent of meeting , and the altar , he shall present the living goat ; * and Aaron shall lay both his hands on the head of the living goat , and confess over it all the iniquities of the children of Israel , and all their transgressions in all their sins , and he shall put them on the head of the goat , and shall send him away to the wilderness by the hand of a man standing ready ; * that the goat may bear upon him all their iniquities to a land apart [from men ]; and he shall send away the goat into the wilderness . * And Aaron shall go into the tent of meeting , and shall put off the linen garments , which he put on when he went into the sanctuary , and shall leave them there ; * and he shall bathe his flesh with water in a holy place , and put on his garments , and go forth , and offer his burnt-offering , and the burnt-offering of the people , and make atonement for himself , and for the people . * And the fat of the sin-offering shall he burn upon the altar . * And he that letteth go the goat for Azazel shall wash his clothes , and bathe his flesh in water ; and afterwards he may come into the camp . * And the bullock of the sin-offering , and the goat of the sin-offering whose blood was brought in to make atonement in the sanctuary , shall one carry forth outside the camp ; and they shall burn with fire their skins , and their flesh , and their dung . * And he that burneth them shall wash his clothes , and bathe his flesh in water ; and afterwards he may come into the camp . * And this shall be an everlasting statute unto you . In the seventh month , on the tenth of the month , ye shall afflict your souls , and do no work at all , the home-born , and the stranger that sojourneth among you ; * for on that day shall atonement be made for you , to cleanse you : from all your sins shall ye be clean before Jehovah . * A sabbath of rest shall it be unto you , and ye shall afflict your souls : [it is ] an everlasting statute . * And the priest who hath been anointed , and who hath been consecrated , to exercise the priesthood in his father 's stead , shall make atonement ; and he shall put on the linen garments , the holy garments . * And he shall make atonement for the holy sanctuary ; and for the tent of meeting , and for the altar shall he make atonement ; and for the priests , and for the whole people of the congregation shall he make atonement . * And this shall be an everlasting statute unto you , to make atonement for the children of Israel [to cleanse them ] from all their sins once a year . And he did as Jehovah had commanded Moses .
