15 “He shall then slaughter the goat for the sin offering for the peopleb and take its blood behind the curtainc and do with it as he did with the bull’s blood: He shall sprinkled it on the atonement cover and in front of it. 16 In this way he will make atonemente for the Most Holy Placef because of the uncleanness and rebellion of the Israelites, whatever their sins have been. He is to do the same for the tent of meeting,g which is among them in the midst of their uncleanness. 17 No one is to be in the tent of meeting from the time Aaron goes in to make atonement in the Most Holy Place until he comes out, having made atonement for himself, his household and the whole community of Israel.

18 “Then he shall come out to the altarh that is before the Lord and make atonement for it. He shall take some of the bull’s blood and some of the goat’s blood and put it on all the horns of the altar.i 19 He shall sprinkle some of the blood on it with his finger seven times to cleanse it and to consecrate it from the uncleanness of the Israelites.j
