Leviticus 16:5–19

⁵“And he shall take from the congregation of the sons of Israel ^atwo male goats for a sin offering and one ram for a burnt offering.

⁶“Then ^aAaron shall bring near the bull for the sin offering which is for himself, that he may make atonement for himself and for his household.

⁷“And he shall take the two goats and present them before Yahweh at the doorway of the tent of meeting.

⁸“And Aaron shall cast lots for the two goats, one lot for Yahweh and the other lot for the ¹scapegoat.

⁹“Then Aaron shall bring near the goat on which the lot for Yahweh fell, and he shall offer it as a sin offering.

¹⁰“But the goat on which the lot for the ¹scapegoat fell shall be presented alive before Yahweh, to make ^aatonement upon it, to send it out into the wilderness as the ²scapegoat.

¹¹“Then Aaron shall bring near the bull of the sin offering, ^awhich is for himself, and make atonement for himself and ^bfor his household, and he shall slaughter the bull of the sin offering which is for himself.

¹²“And he shall take a ^afirepan full of coals of fire from upon the altar before Yahweh and ¹two handfuls of finely ground ^bfragrant incense, and bring it inside the veil.

¹³“And he shall put the incense on the fire before Yahweh, that the cloud of incense may cover the ^amercy seat that is on the ark of the testimony, ^bso that he will not die.

¹⁴“Moreover, ^ahe shall take some of the blood of the bull and sprinkle it ^bwith his finger on the mercy seat on the east side; also in front of the mercy seat he shall sprinkle some of the blood with his finger seven times.

¹⁵“Then he shall slaughter the goat of the sin offering ^awhich is for the people and bring its blood inside the veil and do with its blood as he did with the blood of the bull. And he shall sprinkle it on the mercy seat and in front of the mercy seat.

¹⁶“^aSo he shall make atonement for the holy place because of the uncleanness of the sons of Israel and because of their transgressions in regard to all their sins; and thus he shall do for the tent of meeting which abides with them in the midst of their uncleanness.

¹⁷“Now when he goes in to make atonement in the holy place, no one shall be in the tent of meeting until he comes out, that he may make atonement for himself and for his household and for all the assembly of Israel.

¹⁸“Then he shall go out to the altar that is before Yahweh and make atonement for it. And he shall take some of the blood of the bull and of the blood of the goat, and ^aput it on the horns of the altar on all sides.

¹⁹“^aWith his finger he shall sprinkle some of the blood on it seven times and cleanse it and set it apart as holy from the uncleanness of the sons of Israel.
