Leviticus 16:18-33

¹⁸And he is to go out to the altar which is before the Lord and make it free from sin; and he is to take some of the blood of the ox and the blood of the goat and put it on the horns of the altar and round it;

¹⁹Shaking drops of the blood from his finger on it seven times to make it holy and clean from whatever is unclean among the children of Israel.

²⁰And when he has done whatever is necessary to make the holy place and the Tent of meeting and the altar free from sin, let him put the living goat before the Lord;

²¹And Aaron, placing his two hands on the head of the living goat, will make a public statement over him of all the evil doings of the children of Israel and all their wrongdoing, in all their sins; and he will put them on the head of the goat and send him away, in the care of a man who will be waiting there, into the waste land.

²²And the goat will take all their sins into a land cut off from men, and he will send the goat away into the waste land.

²³Then let Aaron come into the Tent of meeting and take off the linen clothing which he put on when he went into the holy place, and put them down there;

²⁴And after bathing his body in water in a holy place, he is to put on his clothing and come out and give his burned offering and the burned offering of the people, to take away his sin and the sin of the people.

²⁵And the fat of the sin-offering is to be burned by him on the altar.

²⁶And the man who takes away the goat for Azazel is to have his clothing washed and his body bathed in water and then he may come back to the tent-circle.

²⁷And the ox of the sin-offering and the goat of the sin-offering, whose blood was taken in to make the holy place free from sin, are to be taken away outside the tent-circle and their skins and their flesh and their waste are to be burned with fire.

²⁸And the man by whom they are burned is to have his clothing washed and his body bathed in water, and then he may come back to the tent-circle.

²⁹And let this be an order to you for ever: in the seventh month, on the tenth day, you are to keep yourselves from pleasure and do no sort of work, those who are Israelites by birth and those from other lands who are living among you:

³⁰For on this day your sin will be taken away and you will be clean: you will be made free from all your sins before the Lord.

³¹It is a special Sabbath for you, and you are to keep yourselves from pleasure; it is an order for ever.

³²And the man on whose head the holy oil has been put, and who has been marked out to be a priest in his father's place, will do what is necessary to take away sin, and will put on the linen clothing, even the holy robes:

³³And he will make the holy place and the Tent of meeting and the altar free from sin; he will take away sin from the priests and from all the people.
