Leviticus 16:1–16

And the Lord spoke to Moses, after the death of the two sons of Aaron when they were slain upon their offering strange fire:

²And he commanded him, saying: Speak to Aaron thy brother, that he enter not at all into the sanctuary, which is within the veil before the propitiatory, with which the ark is covered, lest he die, (for I will appear in a cloud over the oracle),

³Unless he first do these things. He shall offer a calf for sin, and a ram for a holocaust.

⁴He shall be vested with a linen tunic: he shall cover his nakedness with linen breeches: he shall be girded with a linen girdle, and he shall put a linen mitre upon his head. For these are holy vestments: all which he shall put on, after he is washed.

⁵And he shall receive from the whole multitude of the children of Israel two buck goats for sin, and one ram for a holocaust.

⁶And when he hath offered the cattle and prayed for himself and for his own house:

⁷He shall make the two buck goats to stand before the Lord in the door of the tabernacle of the testimony.

⁸And casting lots upon them both, one to be offered to the Lord, and the other to be the emissary goat:

⁹That whose lot fell to be offered to the Lord, he shall offer for sin.

¹⁰But that whose lot was to be the emissary goat, he shall present before the Lord, that he may pour prayers upon him, and let him go into the wilderness.

¹¹After these things are duly celebrated, he shall offer the calf: and praying for himself and for his own house, he shall immolate it.

¹²And taking the censer, which he hath filled with the burning coals of the altar, and taking up with his hands the compounded perfume for incense, he shall go in within the veil into the holy place:

¹³That when the perfumes are put upon the fire, the cloud and vapour thereof may cover the oracle, which is over the testimony, and he may not die.

¹⁴He shall take also of the blood of the calf, and sprinkle with his finger seven times towards the propitiatory to the east.

¹⁵And when he hath killed the buck goat for the sin of the people, he shall carry in the blood thereof within the veil, as he was commanded to do with the blood of the calf, that he may sprinkle it over against the oracle:

¹⁶And may expiate the sanctuary from the uncleanness of the children of Israel, and from their transgressions, and all their sins. According to this rite shall he do to the tabernacle of the testimony, which is fixed among them in the midst of the filth of their habitation.
