times, and cleanse it, and hallow it from the uncleannesses of the
children of Israel. And when he hath made an end of reconciling the
holy place and the tabernacle of witness and the altar, let him bring
the live goat and let Aaron put both his hands upon the head of the
live goat, and confess over him all the misdeeds of the children of
Israel, and all their trespasses, and all their sins: and let him put
them upon the head of the goat and send him away by the hands of one
that is acquainted in the wilderness. And the goat shall bear upon him
all their misdeeds unto the wilderness, and he shall let the goat go
free in the wilderness. And let Aaron go in to the tabernacle of
witness and put off the line clothes which he put on when he went in
into the holy place, and leave them there. And let him wash his flesh
with water in the holy place, and put on his own raiment, and then come
out and offer his burntoffering and the burntoffering of the people,
and make an atonement for himself and for the people, and the fat of
the sinoffering let him burn upon the altar. And let him that carried
forth the scapegoat, wash his clothes and bathe his flesh in water, and
then come into the host again. And the ox of the sinoffering and the
goat of the sinoffering (whose blood was brought in to make an
atonement in the holy place) let one carry out without the host and
burn with fire: both their skins, their flesh and their dung. And let
him that burneth them, wash his clothes and bathe his flesh in water,
and then come into the host again. And it {this} shall be an ordinance
for ever unto you. And even in the tenth day of the seventh month, ye
shall humble your souls and shall do no work at all: whether it be one
of your selves or a stranger that sojourneth among you, for that day
shall an atonement be made for you to cleanse you from all your sins
before the LORD, and ye shall be clean. It shall be a Sabbath of rest
unto you, and ye shall humble your souls, and it shall be an ordinance
for ever. And the priest that is anointed and whose hand was filled to
minister in his father's stead, shall make the atonement and shall put
on the holy linen {[clothes and holy]} vestments, and reconcile the
holy sanctuary and the tabernacle of witness and the altar, and shall
make an atonement also for the priests and for all the people of the
congregation. And this shall be an everlasting ordinance unto you to
make an atonement for the children of Israel for all their sins once a
year: and it was done even as the LORD commanded Moses.
