the LORD, that the cloud of the incense may cover the mercy seat that
is upon the testimony, that he die not: and he shall take of the blood
of the bullock, and sprinkle it with his finger upon the mercy seat
eastward; and before the mercy seat shall he sprinkle of the blood with
his finger seven times.
Then shall he kill the goat of the sin offering, that is for the
people, and bring his blood within the vail, and do with that blood as
he did with the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it upon the mercy
seat, and before the mercy seat: and he shall make an atonement for
the holy place, because of the uncleanness of the children of Israel,
and because of their transgressions in all their sins: and so shall he
do for the tabernacle of the congregation, that remaineth among them
in the midst of their uncleanness. And there shall be no man in the
tabernacle of the congregation when he goeth in to make an atonement
in the holy place, until he come out, and have made an atonement for
himself, and for his household, and for all the congregation of Israel.
And he shall go out unto the altar that is before the LORD, and make
an atonement for it; and shall take of the blood of the bullock, and
of the blood of the goat, and put it upon the horns of the altar round
about. And he shall sprinkle of the blood upon it with his finger
seven times, and cleanse it, and hallow it from the uncleanness of the
children of Israel. And when he hath made an end of reconciling the
holy place, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and the altar, he
shall bring the live goat: and Aaron shall lay both his hands upon the
head of the live goat, and confess over him all the iniquities of the
children of Israel, and all their transgressions in all their sins,
putting them upon the head of the goat, and shall send him away by the
hand of a fit man into the wilderness: and the goat shall bear upon him
all their iniquities unto a land not inhabited: and he shall let go the
goat in the wilderness.
CHAPTER 46
THE PEOPLE ARE COMMANDED TO BE HOLY
[Sidenote: Leviticus 19]
AND the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto all the congregation
of the children of Israel, and say unto them, Ye shall be holy: for
I the LORD your God am holy. Ye shall fear every man his mother, and
his father, and keep my sabbaths: I am the LORD your God. [Sidenote:
Leviticus 23]
Turn ye not unto idols, nor make to yourselves molten gods: I am the
LORD your God.
And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not wholly reap
the corners of thy field, neither shalt thou gather the gleanings of
thy harvest. And thou shalt not glean thy vineyard, neither shalt thou
gather every grape of thy vineyard; thou shalt leave them for the poor
and stranger: I am the LORD your God.
Ye shall not steal, neither deal falsely, neither lie one to another.
And ye shall not swear by my name falsely, neither shalt thou profane
the name of thy God: I am the LORD.
