The Book of Leviticus 16

16 And Yahweh spoke to Moses after the death of the two sons of Aaron, when they had come near to the face of Yahweh and died. 2 And Yahweh said to Moses, “Speak to Aaron your brother that he must not come at any time into the holy place inside the curtain, to the face of the atonement lid that is on the Box, so he does not die. For I appear in the cloud over the atonement lid. 3 In this manner Aaron must come into the holy place: with a bull, a son of the herd, for a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering. 4 He must put on the holy linen tunic, and the linen undergarments must be on his body, and he must tie the linen sash and wrap the linen turban—they are the holy garments. And he must bathe his body in water and then dress himself with them. 5 And from the assembly of the sons of Israel he must take two bucks of the goats for a sin offering and one ram for a burnt offering.

6 And Aaron must offer the bull as the sin offering, which will be for himself. And he will make atonement for himself and for his house. 7 And he must take the two goats and set them before the face of Yahweh at the entrance of the tent of meeting. 8 And Aaron must cast lots on the two goats, one lot for Yahweh, and one lot for the goat that departs. 9 And Aaron must present the goat on which the lot fell for Yahweh, and he must offer it as a sin offering. 10 And the goat on which the lot fell for the goat that departs must be placed alive before the face of Yahweh, to make atonement on it by sending it away as a goat that departs into the wilderness.

11 And Aaron must offer the bull of the sin offering, which will be for himself. And he will make atonement for himself and for his house. And he must slaughter the bull of the sin offering which is for himself. 12 And he must take a full censer of coals of fire from on the altar from before the face of Yahweh, and his two hands full of finely ground fragrant incense, and bring them inside the curtain. 13 And he must put the incense on the fire before the face of Yahweh. And the cloud of the incense will cover the atonement lid which is over the Testimony, and he will not die. 14 And he must take some of the blood of the bull and sprinkle it with his finger on the face of the atonement lid, on the east side. And before the face of the atonement lid he must sprinkle some of the blood with his finger seven times.

15 And he must slaughter the goat of the sin offering that is for the people and bring its blood to inside the curtain. And he must do with the blood just as he did with the blood of the bull. And he must sprinkle it on the atonement lid and before the face of the atonement lid. 16 And he must make atonement for the holy place because of the uncleanness of the sons of Israel, and because of their rebellion, for all their sins. And thus he must do this for the tent of meeting that dwells with them in the midst of their uncleanness. 17 And any human must not be in the tent of meeting when he enters to make atonement in the holy place until he comes out and has made atonement for himself and for his house, and for all the assembly of Israel. 18 And he must go out to the altar that is before the face of Yahweh and make atonement for it. And he must take some of the blood of the bull and some of the blood of the goat and put it all around on the horns of the altar. 19 And he must sprinkle some of the blood on it with his finger seven times. And he will cleanse it and set it apart from the uncleanness of the sons of Israel.

20 And when he has finished atoning for the holy place, and the tent of meeting, and the altar, then he must present the live goat. 21 And Aaron must lay his two hands on the head of the live goat and confess over it all the wickedness of the sons of Israel, and all their rebellion, for all their sins. And he must put them on the head of the goat and send it away by the hand of a man who is ready into the wilderness. 22 And the goat must carry on itself all their wickedness to a solitary land. And he will send the goat away in the wilderness.

23 And Aaron must go into the tent of meeting and take off the linen garments that he had put on when he came to the holy place, and he must leave them there. 24 And he must bathe his body in water in a holy place, and put on his garments. And he must go out and offer his burnt offering and the burnt offering of the people. And he will make atonement for himself and for the people. 25 And the fat of the sin offering he must burn on the altar. 26 And the one who sent away the goat as a goat that departs must wash his clothes and bathe his body in water; and after that he may come into the camp. 27 And the bull of the sin offering and the goat of the sin offering, whose blood was brought in to make atonement in the holy place, must be brought out to the outside of the camp. Then they must burn in the fire their hides, and their flesh, and their dung. 28 And the one who burns them must wash his clothes and bathe his body in water; and after that he may come into the camp.

29 And it will be a permanent statute for you, in the seventh month on the tenth day of the month, you must humble yourselves and must not do any work, the native born and the sojourner who sojourns among you; 30 for on this day atonement will be made for you, to cleanse you from all your sins. Before the face of Yahweh you will be clean. 31 It is a sabbath of solemn rest for you, and you must humble yourselves. It is a permanent statute. 32 And the priest must make atonement, he who anoints him and who fills his hand to be priest in place of his father, and he must put on the linen garments, the holy garments. 33 And he must make atonement for the holiest holy place. And he must make atonement for the tent of meeting and the altar. And he must make atonement for the priests and for all the people of the assembly. 34 This will be for you a permanent statute, to make atonement for the sons of Israel because of all their sins, once in the year.” And he did just as Yahweh had commanded Moses.
