Leviticus:16-18
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And the LORD spake unto Moses after the death of the two sons of Aaron ,
when they offered 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 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 .
*
And the fat of the sin offering shall he burn upon the altar .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
And he that burneth them shall wash his clothes ,
and bathe his flesh in water ,
and afterward he shall come into the camp .
*
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 :
*
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 .
*
It shall be a sabbath of rest unto you ,
and ye shall afflict your souls ,
by a statute for ever .
*
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 :
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
And the LORD spake unto Moses ,
saying ,
*
Speak unto Aaron ,
and unto his sons ,
and unto all the children of Israel ,
and say unto them ;
This is the thing which the LORD hath commanded ,
saying ,
*
What man soever there be of the house of Israel ,
that killeth an ox ,
or lamb ,
or goat ,
in the camp ,
or that killeth it out of the camp ,
*
And bringeth it not unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation ,
to offer an offering unto the LORD before the tabernacle of the LORD ;
blood shall be imputed unto that man ;
he hath shed blood ;
and that man shall be cut off from among his people :
*
To the end that the children of Israel may bring their sacrifices ,
which they offer in the open field ,
even that they may bring them unto the LORD ,
unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation ,
unto the priest ,
and offer them for peace offerings unto the LORD .
*
And the priest shall sprinkle the blood upon the altar of the LORD at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation ,
and burn the fat for a sweet savour unto the LORD .
*
And they shall no more offer their sacrifices unto devils ,
after whom they have gone a whoring .
This shall be a statute for ever unto them throughout their generations .
*
And thou shalt say unto them ,
Whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel ,
or of the strangers which sojourn among you ,
that offereth a burnt offering or sacrifice ,
*
And bringeth it not unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation ,
to offer it unto the LORD ;
even that man shall be cut off from among his people .
*
And whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel ,
or of the strangers that sojourn among you ,
that eateth any manner of blood ;
I will even set my face against that soul that eateth blood ,
and will cut him off from among his people .
*
For the life of the flesh is in the blood :
and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls :
for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul .
*
Therefore I said unto the children of Israel ,
No soul of you shall eat blood ,
neither shall any stranger that sojourneth among you eat blood .
*
And whatsoever man there be of the children of Israel ,
or of the strangers that sojourn among you ,
which hunteth and catcheth any beast or fowl that may be eaten ;
he shall even pour out the blood thereof ,
and cover it with dust .
*
For it is the life of all flesh ;
the blood of it is for the life thereof :
therefore I said unto the children of Israel ,
Ye shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh :
for the life of all flesh is the blood thereof :
whosoever eateth it shall be cut off .
*
And every soul that eateth that which died of itself ,
or that which was torn with beasts ,
whether it be one of your own country ,
or a stranger ,
he shall both wash his clothes ,
and bathe himself in water ,
and be unclean until the even :
then shall he be clean .
*
But if he wash them not ,
nor bathe his flesh ;
then he shall bear his iniquity .
*
And the LORD spake unto Moses ,
saying ,
*
Speak unto the children of Israel ,
and say unto them ,
I am the LORD your God .
*
After the doings of the land of Egypt ,
wherein ye dwelt ,
shall ye not do :
and after the doings of the land of Canaan ,
whither I bring you ,
shall ye not do :
neither shall ye walk in their ordinances .
*
Ye shall do my judgments ,
and keep mine ordinances ,
to walk therein :
I am the LORD your God .
*
Ye shall therefore keep my statutes ,
and my judgments :
which if a man do ,
he shall live in them :
I am the LORD .
*
None of you shall approach to any that is near of kin to him ,
to uncover their nakedness :
I am the LORD .
*
The nakedness of thy father ,
or the nakedness of thy mother ,
shalt thou not uncover :
she is thy mother ;
thou shalt not uncover her nakedness .
*
The nakedness of thy father '
s wife shalt thou not uncover :
it is thy father '
s nakedness .
*
The nakedness of thy sister ,
the daughter of thy father ,
or daughter of thy mother ,
whether she be born at home ,
or born abroad ,
even their nakedness thou shalt not uncover .
*
The nakedness of thy son '
s daughter ,
or of thy daughter '
s daughter ,
even their nakedness thou shalt not uncover :
for theirs is thine own nakedness .
*
The nakedness of thy father '
s wife '
s daughter ,
begotten of thy father ,
she is thy sister ,
thou shalt not uncover her nakedness .
*
Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father '
s sister :
she is thy father '
s near kinswoman .
*
Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother '
s sister :
for she is thy mother '
s near kinswoman .
*
Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father '
s brother ,
thou shalt not approach to his wife :
she is thine aunt .
*
Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy daughter in law :
she is thy son '
s wife ;
thou shalt not uncover her nakedness .
*
Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy brother '
s wife :
it is thy brother '
s nakedness .
*
Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter ,
neither shalt thou take her son '
s daughter ,
or her daughter '
s daughter ,
to uncover her nakedness ;
for they are her near kinswomen :
it is wickedness .
*
Neither shalt thou take a wife to her sister ,
to vex her ,
to uncover her nakedness ,
beside the other in her life time .
*
Also thou shalt not approach unto a woman to uncover her nakedness ,
as long as she is put apart for her uncleanness .
*
Moreover thou shalt not lie carnally with thy neighbour '
s wife ,
to defile thyself with her .
*
And thou shalt not let any of thy seed pass through the fire to Molech ,
neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God :
I am the LORD .
*
Thou shalt not lie with mankind ,
as with womankind :
it is abomination .
*
Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith :
neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto :
it is confusion .
*
Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things :
for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you :
*
And the land is defiled :
therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it ,
and the land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants .
*
Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgments ,
and shall not commit any of these abominations ;
neither any of your own nation ,
nor any stranger that sojourneth among you :
* (
For all these abominations have the men of the land done ,
which were before you ,
and the land is defiled ;)
*
That the land spue not you out also ,
when ye defile it ,
as it spued out the nations that were before you .
*
For whosoever shall commit any of these abominations ,
even the souls that commit them shall be cut off from among their people .
*
Therefore shall ye keep mine ordinance ,
that ye commit not any one of these abominable customs ,
which were committed before you ,
and that ye defile not yourselves therein :
I am the LORD your God .
