Leviticus 16:12-34

¹²And when he hath taken a censer, which he hath full-filled of the coals of the altar, and he hath taken in his hand the sweet smelling spicery made into incense, he shall enter over the veil into the holy things; (And when he hath taken a censer, which he hath filled full with coals from the altar, and he hath taken in his hand the sweet smelling spices made into incense, he shall go into the Most Holy Place within the Veil;)

¹³that when sweet smelling spiceries be put on the fire, the cloud and vapour of those cover God’s answering place, that is, the propitiatory, which is on the witnessing, that is, on the ark with the tables of (the) law, and he die not. (so that when the sweet smelling spices be put on the fire, their cloud and vapour cover the propitiatory, that is, the mercy seat, or the lid, which is on the Ark of the Witnessing, that is, the Box containing the tablets of the Law, and so he shall not die.)

¹⁴Also Aaron shall take of the calf’s blood, and he shall sprinkle seven times with his finger against God’s answering place, eastward. (And Aaron shall take some of the calf’s blood, and he shall sprinkle it with his finger onto that lid, eastwards, and seven times in front of the propitiatory, that is, in front of the mercy seat.)

¹⁵And when Aaron hath slain the goat buck, offered for the sin of the people, he shall bring in the blood thereof within the veil, as it is commanded of the calf’s blood, that he sprinkle it even against God’s answering place, (And when Aaron hath killed the goat buck, offered for the people’s sin, he shall bring in its blood within the Veil, as it is commanded of the calf’s blood, and sprinkle it on the propitiatory, and in front of it,)

¹⁶and (so) he shall cleanse the saintuary from the uncleanness of the sons of Israel, and from their trespassings, and from all their sins. By this custom he shall do in the tabernacle of witnessing (or And by this custom he shall do all of this in the Tabernacle of the Witnessing), which is set among them, in the midst of the filths of the habitation of them.

¹⁷No man be in the tabernacle, when the bishop shall enter into the saintuary, that he pray for himself, and for his house, and for all the company of Israel, till he go out of the tabernacle. (No one should be in the Tabernacle, when the High Priest shall enter into the sanctuary, so that he can pray for himself, and for his household, or for his family, and for all the congregation of Israel, and until that he go out of the Tabernacle.)

¹⁸Soothly when he hath gone out to the altar which is before the Lord, pray he for himself, and shed he on the horns thereof, by compass, the blood that is taken of the calf, and of the goat buck; (And when he hath gone out to the altar which is before the Lord, pray he for himself, and take he some of the calf’s blood, and some of the goat’s blood, and put he it on the horns all around the altar;)

¹⁹and sprinkle he it seven times with his finger (or and with his finger sprinkle he some of the blood onto the altar seven times), and (so) cleanse he, and hallow he the altar from the uncleannesses of the sons of Israel.

²⁰After that he hath cleansed the saintuary, and the tabernacle, and the altar, then offer he the living goat buck; (And after that he hath cleansed the sanctuary, and the Tabernacle, and the altar, then bring he forth the living goat for Azazel;)

²¹and when his ever either hand is put upon the head thereof, acknowledge the priest all the wickednesses of the sons of Israel, and all their trespasses and sins, which sins the priest shall wish, or will, (on)to the goat(’s) head, and he shall send the goat out into desert by a man made ready thereto, (or and then he shall send this goat, that is, the scapegoat, out into the desert, or into the wilderness, by a man ordained for that task).

²²And when the goat buck hath borne all their wickednesses into (a) desert land, and he is let go there,

²³Aaron shall turn again into the tabernacle of witnessing (or Aaron shall return to the Tabernacle of the Witnessing); and when the clothes be put off, in which he was clothed before, when he entered into the saintuary of God, and those clothes be left there,

²⁴he shall wash his flesh in the holy place, and he shall be clothed in his own clothes, and after that he hath gone out, and hath offered the burnt sacrifice of himself, and of the people, he shall pray as well for himself, as for the people; (he shall wash his flesh in a holy place, and he shall be clothed in his own clothes, and after that he hath gone out, and hath offered the burnt sacrifice for himself, and for the people, he shall pray for himself, as well as for the people;)

²⁵and he shall burn on the altar the inner fatness which is offered for sin. (and he shall burn on the altar the inner fat of the sin offering.)

²⁶Soothly he that let go the goat buck able to be sent out, shall wash his clothes and his body with water, and so he shall enter into the tents. (And he who drove the scapegoat into the desert, or into the wilderness, to Azazel, shall wash his clothes and his body in water, and then he shall return to the tents.)

²⁷Forsooth they shall bear out of the tents the calf and the goat buck, that were offered for sin, and whose blood was brought into the saintuary, that the cleansing were fulfilled; and they shall burn in fire as well the skins, as the flesh, and the dung of those beasts. (And they shall carry away from the tents the calf and the goat buck, that were the sin offerings, and whose blood was brought into the sanctuary, so that the cleansing is fulfilled; and they shall burn in the fire the skins, and the flesh, and the dung of those beasts.)

²⁸And whoever burneth those, he shall wash his clothes and flesh in water, and so he shall enter into the tents (or and then he shall return to the tents).

²⁹And this shall be to you a lawful thing everlasting; in the seventh month, in the tenth day of the month, ye shall torment your souls, and ye shall not do any work, neither a man born in the land, neither a comeling that is a pilgrim among you. (And this shall be an everlasting law for you; in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, ye shall torment your souls, and ye shall not do any work, not someone born in the land, nor a newcomer who is a foreigner, or a stranger, among you.)

³⁰The delivering from sin, and the cleansing of you, shall be in this day (or shall be on this day), (and) ye shall be cleansed before the Lord from all your sins;

³¹for it is the sabbath of resting, and ye shall torment your souls by everlasting religion. (for it is a Sabbath of rest for you, and ye shall torment your souls; this is an everlasting law.)

³²Soothly the priest shall cleanse, the which is anointed, and whose hands be hallowed, that he be set in priesthood for his father; and he shall be clothed in a linen stole, and in holy clothes, (And the priest, who is anointed, and consecrated, so that he can serve in the priesthood for his father, shall perform this rite of cleansing; he shall be clothed in holy linen clothes,)

³³and he shall cleanse the saintuary, and the tabernacle of witnessing, (or and he shall cleanse the sanctuary, and the Tabernacle of the Witnessing), and the altar, and the priests, and all the people.

³⁴And this shall be to you a lawful thing everlasting (or And this shall be an everlasting law for you), that ye pray for the sons of Israel, and for all their sins, once in the year. Therefore Aaron did, as the Lord commanded to Moses.
