Leviticus [Pertaining to Levites] 16:18-31

¹⁸“He shall go out to the altar that is before Adonai and make atonement for it, and shall take some of the bull’s blood, and some of the goat’s blood, and put it around on the horns of the altar.

¹⁹He shall sprinkle some of the blood on it with his finger seven times, and cleanse it, and make it holy from the uncleanness of the children of Israel God prevails.

²⁰“When he has finished atoning for the Holy Place, the Tent of Meeting, and the altar, he shall present the live goat.

²¹Aaron Light-bringer shall lay both his hands on the head of the live goat, and yadah ·extend hands in confession· over him all the iniquities of the children of Israel God prevails, and all their transgressions, even all their sins; and he shall put them on the head of the goat, and shall send him away into the wilderness by the hand of a man who is in readiness.

²²The goat shall carry all their iniquities on himself to a solitary land, and he shall let the goat go in the wilderness.

²³“Aaron Light-bringer shall come into the Tent of Meeting, and shall take off the linen garments, which he put on when he went into the Holy Place, and shall leave them there.

²⁴Then he shall bathe himself in water in a holy place, and put on his garments, and come out and offer his burnt offering and the burnt offering of the people, and make atonement for himself and for the people. (RY:2, LY:3)

²⁵The fat of the sin offering he shall burn on the altar.

²⁶“He who lets the goat go for the scapegoat shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp.

²⁷The bull for the sin offering, and the goat for the sin offering, whose blood was brought in to make atonement in the Holy Place, shall be carried outside the camp; and they shall burn their skins, their flesh, and their dung with fire.

²⁸He who burns them shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp.

²⁹“It shall be a regulation to you forever: in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, you shall afflict your souls, and shall do no kind of work, the native-born, or the stranger who lives as a foreigner among you:

³⁰for on this day shall atonement be made for you, to cleanse you; from all your sins you shall be clean before Adonai .

³¹It is a Sabbath ·To cease· of solemn rest to you, and you shall afflict your souls. It is a regulation forever.
