And the LORD spake unto Moses after the death of the two sons of Aaron,
when they had offered before the LORD and died: And he said unto Moses:
speak unto Aaron thy brother that he go not at all times into the holy
place, that is whithin the vail that hangeth before the mercy seat
which is upon the ark that he die not. For I will appear in a cloud
upon the mercy seat. But of this manner shall Aaron go in into the holy
place: with a young ox {bullock} for a sinoffering, and a ram for a
burntoffering. And he shall put the holy linen alb upon him, and shall
have a linen breech upon his flesh, and shall gird him with a linen
girdle, and put the linen mitre upon his head: for they are holy
raiments. And he shall wash his flesh with water, and put them on. And
he shall take of the multitude of the children of Israel two goats for
a sinoffering and a ram for a burntoffering. And Aaron shall offer the
ox for his sinoffering and make an atonement for him and for his house.
And he shall take the two goats and present them before the LORD in the
door of the tabernacle of witness. And Aaron cast lots over the two
goats: one lot for the LORD, and another for a scapegoat. And Aaron
shall bring the goat upon which the LORD's lot fell, and offer him for
a sinoffering. But the goat on which the lot fell to scape, he shall
set alive before the LORD to reconcile with and to let him go free into
the wilderness. And Aaron shall bring the ox of his sinoffering, and
reconcile for himself and for his household, and kill him. And then he
shall take a censer full of burning coals out of the altar that is
before the LORD, and his handful of sweet cense beaten small, and bring
them within the vail and put the cense upon the fire before the LORD:
that the cloud of the cense may cover the mercy seat that is upon the
witness, that he die not. And he shall take of the blood of the ox and
sprinkle it with his finger before the mercy seat eastward: even seven
times. Then shall he kill the goat that is the people's sinoffering,
and bring his blood within the vail, and do with his blood as he did
with the blood of the ox, and let him sprinkle it toward the mercy
seat, and before the mercy seat: and reconcile the holy place from the
uncleanness of the children of Israel, and from their trespasses and
all their sins. And so let him do also unto the tabernacle of witness
that dwelleth with them, even among their uncleannesses. And there
shall be nobody in the tabernacle of witness, when he goeth in to make
an atonement in the holy place, until he come out again. And he shall
make an atonement for himself and for his household, and for all the
multitude of Israel. Then he shall go out unto the altar that stondeth
before the LORD, and reconcile it, and shall take of the blood of the
ox and of the blood of the goat, and put it upon the horns of the altar
round about, and sprinkle of the blood upon it with his finger seven
