And the
Lord spake unto Moses after the death of the two
sons of Aaron, when they offered before the Lord,
and died;
02 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.
03 Thus shall Aaron come into the holy
place: with a young bullock for a sin offering,
and a ram for a burnt offering.
04 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.
05 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.
06 And Aaron shall offer his bullock of the
sin offering, which is for himself, and make an
atonement for himself, and for his house.
07 And he shall take the two goats, and
present them before the Lord at the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation.
08 And Aaron shall cast lots upon the two
goats; one lot for the Lord, and the other lot
for the scapegoat.
09 And Aaron shall bring the goat upon
which the Lord's lot fell, and offer him for a
sin offering.
10 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.
11 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:
12 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:
13 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:
14 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.
15 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:
16 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.
17 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.

18 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.
19 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.
20 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:
21 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:
22 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.
23 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:
24 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.
25 And the fat of the sin offering shall he
burn upon the altar.
26 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.
27 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.
28 And he that burneth them shall wash his
clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and
afterward he shall come into the camp.
29 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:
30 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.
31 It shall be a sabbath of rest unto you,
and ye shall afflict your souls, by a statute for
ever.
32 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:
33 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.
34 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.
