chapter 16
1
And
the Lord spoke to Moses, after the death of the two sons of Aaron, when they
were slain upon their offering strange fire:
2 And he commanded him, saying, Speak to Aaron thy
brother, that he enter not at all into the sanctuary, which is within the veil
before the propitiatory, with which the ark is covered, lest he die, (for I
will appear in a cloud over the oracle,)
3 Unless he first do these things: He shall offer a
calf for sin, and a ram for a holocaust.
4 He shall be vested with a linen tunick, he shall
cover his nakedness with linen breeches: he shall be girded with a linen
girdle, and he shall put a linen mitre upon his head: for these are holy
vestments: all which he shall put on, after he is washed.
5 And he shall receive from the whole multitude of the
children of Israel two buck goats for sin, and one ram for a holocaust.
6 And when he hath offered the calf and prayed for
himself, and for his own house,
7 He shall make the two buck goats to stand before the
Lord in the door of the tabernacle of the testimony:
8 And casting lots upon them both, one to be offered to
the Lord, and the other to be the emissary goat:
9 That whose lot fell to be offered to the Lord, he
shall offer for sin:
10 But that whose lot was to be the emissary goat, he
shall present alive before the Lord, that he may pour out prayers upon him, and
let him go into the wilderness.
11 After these things are duly celebrated, he shall
offer the calf, and praying for himself and for his own house, he shall
immolate it:
12 And taking the censer, which he hath filled with the
burning coals of the altar, and taking up with his hand the compounded perfume
for incense, he shall go in within the veil into the holy place:
13 That when the perfumes are put upon the fire, the
cloud and vapour thereof may cover the oracle, which is over the testimony, and
he may not die.
14 He shall take also of the blood of the calf, and
sprinkle with his finger seven times towards the propitiatory to the east.
15 And when he hath killed the buck goat for the sin of
the people, he shall carry in the blood thereof within the veil, as he was
commanded to do with the blood of the calf, that he may sprinkle it over
against the oracle,
16 And may expiate the sanctuary from the uncleanness
of the children of Israel, and from their transgressions, and all their sins.
According to this rite shall he do to the tabernacle of the testimony, which is
fixed among them in the midst of the filth of their habitation.
17 Let no man be in the tabernacle when the high priest
goeth into the sanctuary, to pray for himself and his house, and for the whole
congregation of Israel, until he come out.
18 And when he is come out to the altar that is before
the Lord, let him pray for himself, and taking the blood of the calf, and of the
buck goat, let him pour it upon the horns thereof round about:
19 And sprinkling with his finger seven times, let him
expiate, and sanctify it from the uncleanness of the children of Israel.
20 After he hath cleansed the sanctuary, and the
tabernacle, and the altar, then let him offer the living goat:
21 And putting both hands upon his head, let him
confess all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their offences
and sins: and praying that they may light on his head, he shall turn him out by
a man ready for it, into the desert.
22 And when the goat hath carried all their iniquities
into an uninhabited land, and shall be let go into the desert,
23 Aaron shall return into the tabernacle of the
testimony, and putting off the vestments, which he had on him before when he
entered into the sanctuary, and leaving them there,
24 He shall wash his flesh in the holy place, and shall
put on his own garments. And after that he has come out and hath offered his
own holocaust, and that of the people, he shall pray both for himself, and for
the people:
25 And the fat that is offered for sins, he shall burn
upon the altar.
26 But he that hath let go the emissary goat, shall
wash his clothes, and his body with water, and so shall enter into the camp.
27 But the calf and the buck goat, that were sacrificed
for sin, and whose blood was carried into the sanctuary, to accomplish the
atonement, they shall carry forth without the camp, e and shall burn with fire,
their skins and their flesh, and their dung:
28 And whosoever burneth them shall wash his clothes,
and flesh with water, and so shall enter into the camp.
29 And this shall be to you an everlasting ordinance:
The seventh month, the tenth day of the month, you shall afflict your souls,
and shall do no work, whether it be one of your own country, or a stranger that
sojourneth among you.
30 Upon this day shall be the expiation for you, and
the cleansing from all your sins: you shall be cleansed before the Lord.
31 For it is a sabbath of rest, and you shall afflict
your souls by a perpetual religion.
32 And the priest that is anointed, and whose hands are
consecrated to do the office of the priesthood in his father's stead, shall
make atonement; and he shall be vested with the linen robe and the holy
vestments,
33 And he shall expiate the sanctuary and the
tabernacle of the testimony and the altar, the priest also and all the people.
34 And this shall be an ordinance for ever, that you
pray for the children of Israel, and for all their sins once in a year. He did
therefore as the Lord had commanded Moses.
