(1 How the high Priest must enter into the Holy place. 11 The sinne-offering for himself. 15 The sinne-offering for the people. 20 The Scape Goat. 29 The yearly Feast of the Expiations.)
This chapter explains the rules for the Day of Atonement, the most important holy day for Israel. The structure of this chapter is as follows: 1) Introduction and basic requirements (16:1-5) 2) The sacrifices and rituals (16:6-28) A. The sin offering for Aaron (16:6-14) B. The sin offering for the people (16:15-19) C. The scapegoat ritual (16:20-28) 3) Rules for observing the Day of Atonement (16:29-34)
This chapter uses several special terms that might be hard to translate:- Undergarments - clothes worn under other clothes- Sash - a long piece of cloth worn around the waist- Turban - cloth wrapped around the head- Censor - a special container for carrying fire and incense- Horns of the altar - the corners of the altar that stick out like animal horns
The chapter uses many word pictures about being clean or unclean:- Sin is described as if it were dirt that makes things physically unclean- Making things acceptable to God is described as “cleansing” them- Setting things apart for God is described as “separating” them from uncleanness
Many actions in this chapter are written in passive form (“it will be done”) rather than active form (“someone will do it”). Your language might need to say who does the action. For example:- Blood was brought in → Aaron brought the blood in- It shall be carried outside → Someone must carry it outside
The chapter mentions specific times using the Hebrew calendar:- “Seventh month” and “tenth day” are ordinal numbers- These dates match with late September in our calendar- You may need to explain this in a note if your readers won’t understand these time references
This was the most important holy day for Israel because:- It happened only once a year- Only the high priest could perform the rituals- It was when sins were dealt with for the whole nation- Special rules had to be followed exactly
The chapter includes actions that had special meaning:- Putting hands on the goat’s head showed the transfer of sin- Sprinkling blood showed cleansing- Sending away the scapegoat showed removing sin from the people
The chapter talks about different sacred areas:- The most holy place (where only the high priest could go)- The holy place (where regular priests could go)- The altar in the courtyard- Special clothes for the high priest(See: holy, clean, highpriest, atonement, and sin)
