* And the Lord spoke unto Moses after the death of the two sons of Aaron , when they had come near before the Lord , and died : * 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 in the cloud will I appear upon the mercy –seat . * With this shall Aaron come into the holy place : with a young bullock for a sin –offering , and a ram for a burnt –offering . * A holy linen coat shall be put on , and linen breeches shall he have upon his flesh , and with a linen girdle shall he gird himself , and a linen mitre shall he bind on his head ; these are holy garments ; therefore shall he wash his flesh in water , and then put them on . * And from the congregation of the children of Israel shall he take two goats for a sin –offering , and one ram for a burnt –offering . * And Aaron shall bring near the 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 place them before the Lord at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation . * And Aaron shall put lots upon the two goats ; one lot "for the Lord ," and the other lot "for ‘Azazel ." * And Aaron shall bring near the goat upon which fell the lot "for the Lord ," and offer him for a sin –offering . * But the goat on which fell the lot "for ‘Azazel ," shall be placed alive before the Lord , to make an atonement with him , by sending him away to ‘Azazel into the wilderness . * And Aaron shall bring near the bullock of the sin –offering , which is for himself , and he shall make an atonement for himself , and for his house ; and he 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 both his hands full of incense of spices , pounded fine , 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 envelop 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 above toward the mercy –seat , eastward ; and before the mercy –seat shall he sprinkle seven times of the blood with his finger . * And he shall kill the goat of the sin –offering , that is for the people , and bring his blood to within the vail , and do with that blood as he did with the blood of the bullock , and sprinkle it above 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 abideth among them in the midst of their uncleanness . * And there shall not be any man in the tabernacle of the congregation when he goeth in to make an atonement in the holy place , until he come out : and so shall he make an atonement for himself , and for his household , and for the whole congregation of Israel . * And he shall then go out unto the altar that is before the Lord , and make an atonement upon it ; and he 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 upon it of the blood with his finger seven times ; and he shall cleanse it , and hallow it from the uncleanness of the children of Israel . * And when he hath made an end of atoning for the holy place , and the tabernacle of the congregation , and the altar : then shall he bring near 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 he shall send him away by the hand of a man appointed thereto into the wilderness : * And the goat shall bear upon him all their iniquities unto a land not inhabited ; and so shall he send away the goat into the wilderness . * And Aaron shall then go into the tabernacle of the congregation , and he shall take off the linen garments , which he had put on when he went into the holy place , and he shall leave them there : * And he shall bathe his flesh with water in a holy place , and put on his garments ; and come then forth , and offer his burnt –offering , and the burnt –offering of the people , and make an atonement for himself , and for the people . * And the fat of the sin –offering shall he burn upon the altar . * And he that carrieth the goat to ‘Azazel shall wash his clothes , and bathe his flesh in water , and afterward he may come into the camp . * And the bullock for the sin –offering , and the goat for the sin –offering , the blood of which was brought in to make atonement in the holy place , shall one carry forth without the camp ; and they shall burn in 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 afterward he may come into the camp . * And it shall be unto you a statute for ever : in the seventh month , on the tenth of the month , ye shall afflict yourselves , and no work shall ye do , whether it be one of your own country , or the stranger that sojourneth among you ; * For on that day shall make an atonement for you , to cleanse you ; from all your sins before the Lord shall ye be clean . * It shall be a sabbath of rest unto you , and ye shall afflict yourselves , as a statute for ever . * And the priest , who shall be anointed , and who shall be consecrated to minister as priest in his father ’s stead , shall make the atonement ; and he shall put on the linen clothes , the holy garments . * And he shall make an atonement for the holy of holies ; and for the tabernacle of the congregation , and for the altar shall he make an atonement ; and also for the priests , and for all the people of the congregation shall he make an atonement . * And this shall be unto you as a statute for everlasting , to make an atonement for the children of Israel for all their sins once a year : and he did as the Lord had commanded Moses .
