Leviticus [Pertaining to Levites] 16:6-20

⁶“Aaron Light-bringer shall offer the bull of the sin offering, which is for himself, and make atonement for himself and for his house.

⁷He shall take the two goats, and set them before Adonai at the door of the Tent of Meeting.

⁸Aaron Light-bringer shall cast lots for the two goats; one lot for Adonai , and the other lot for the scapegoat.

⁹Aaron Light-bringer shall present the goat on which the lot fell for Adonai , and offer him for a sin offering.

¹⁰But the goat, on which the lot fell for the scapegoat, shall be presented alive before Adonai , to make atonement for him, to send him away for the scapegoat into the wilderness.

¹¹“Aaron Light-bringer shall present the bull of the sin offering, which is for himself, and shall make atonement for himself and for his house, and shall kill the bull of the sin offering which is for himself.

¹²He shall take a censer full of coals of fire from off the altar before Adonai , and two handfuls of sweet incense beaten small, and bring it within the veil:

¹³and he shall put the incense on the fire before Adonai , that the cloud of the incense may cover the mercy seat that is on the testimony, so that he will not die.

¹⁴He shall take some of the blood of the bull, and sprinkle it with his finger on the mercy seat on the east; and before the mercy seat he shall sprinkle some of the blood with his finger seven times.

¹⁵“Then he shall kill the goat of the sin offering, that is for the people, and bring his blood within the veil, and do with his blood as he did with the blood of the bull, and sprinkle it on the mercy seat, and before the mercy seat.

¹⁶He shall make atonement for the Holy Place, because of the uncleanness of the children of Israel God prevails, and because of their transgressions, even all their sins; and so he shall do for the Tent of Meeting, that dwells with them in the middle of their uncleanness.

¹⁷No one shall be in the Tent of Meeting when he enters to make atonement in the Holy Place, until he comes out, and has made atonement for himself and for his household, and for all the assembly of Israel God prevails. (LY:2)

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.
