Leviticus 16:18-31

¹⁸And when he is come out to the altar that is before the Lord, let him pray for himself, and taking the blood of the calf, and of the buck goat, let him pour it upon the horns thereof round about:

¹⁹And sprinkling with his finger seven times, let him expiate, and sanctify it from the uncleanness of the children of Israel.

²⁰After he hath cleansed the sanctuary, and the tabernacle, and the altar, then let him offer the living goat:

²¹And putting both hands upon his head, let him confess all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their offences and sins: and praying that they may light on his head, he shall turn him out by a man ready for it, into the desert.

²²And when the goat hath carried all their iniquities into an uninhabited land, and shall be let go into the desert,

²³Aaron shall return into the tabernacle of the testimony, and putting off the vestments, which he had on him before when he entered into the sanctuary, and leaving them there,

²⁴He shall wash his flesh in the holy place, and shall put on his own garments. And after that he has come out and hath offered his own holocaust, and that of the people, he shall pray both for himself, and for the people:

²⁵And the fat that is offered for sins, he shall burn upon the altar.

²⁶But he that hath let go the emissary goat, shall wash his clothes, and his body with water, and so shall enter into the camp.

²⁷But the calf and the buck goat, that were sacrificed for sin, and whose blood was carried into the sanctuary, to accomplish the atonement, they shall carry forth without the camp, and shall burn with fire, their skins and their flesh, and their dung:

²⁸And whosoever burneth them shall wash his clothes, and flesh with water, and so shall enter into the camp.

²⁹And this shall be to you an everlasting ordinance: The seventh month, the tenth day of the month, you shall afflict your souls, and shall do no work, whether it be one of your own country, or a stranger that sojourneth among you.

³⁰Upon this day shall be the expiation for you, and the cleansing from all your sins: you shall be cleansed before the Lord.

³¹For it is a sabbath of rest, and you shall afflict your souls by a perpetual religion.
