come in at all times to the Set-apart Place inside the veil, before the lid of
atonement which is on the ark, lest he die, because I appear in the cloud
above the lid of atonement.

blood of a young bull as a sin offering, and of a ram as a burnt offering.
Lev 16:4 “He should put on the set-apart linen long shirt, with linen trousers

linen turban – they are set-apart garments. And he shall bathe his body in
water, and shall put them on.

himself, and make atonement for himself and for his house, and shall
slaughter the bull as the sin offering which is for himself,

the altar before יהוה, with his hands filled with sweet incense beaten fine, and
shall bring it inside the veil.
Lev 16:13 “And he shall put the incense on the fire before יהוה, and the cloud
of incense shall cover the lid of atonement which is on the Witness, lest he
die.

with his finger on the lid of atonement on the east side, also in front of the lid
of atonement he sprinkles some of the blood with his finger seven times.

Lev 16:16 “And he shall make atonement for the Set-apart Place, because of

Yisra’ĕl.
Lev 16:18 “And he shall go out to the altar that is before יהוה, and make
atonement for it. And he shall take some of the blood of the bull and some of
the blood of the goat, and put it on the horns of the altar all around.
Lev 16:19 “And he shall sprinkle some of the blood on it with his finger
seven times, and cleanse it, and set it apart from the uncleanness of the
children of Yisra’ĕl.
Lev 16:20 “And when he has finished atoning for the Set-apart Place, and
the Tent of Meeting, and the altar, he shall bring the live goat.
Lev 16:21 “Then Aharon shall lay both his hands on the head of the live
goat, and shall confess over it all the crookednesses of the children of
Yisra’ĕl, and all their transgressions in all their sins, and shall put them on
the head of the goat, and shall send it away into the wilderness by the hand of
a fit man.
Lev 16:22 “And the goat shall bear on itself all their crookednesses, to a
land cut off. Thus he shall send the goat away into the wilderness.

off the linen garments which he put on when he went into the Set-apart Place,
and shall leave them there.
Lev 16:24 “And he shall bathe his body in water in the set-apart place, and
shall put on his garments, and shall come out and prepare his burnt offering
and the burnt offering of the people, and make atonement for himself and for
the people,
Lev 16:25 and burn the fat of the sin offering on the altar.
Lev 16:26 “And he who sent away the goat to Azazel washes his garments,
and shall bathe his body in water, and afterward he comes into the camp.
Lev 16:27 “And the bull for the sin offering and the goat for the sin offering,
whose blood was brought in to make atonement in the Set-apart Place, is
brought outside the camp. And they shall burn their skins, and their flesh, and
their dung with fire.
Lev 16:28 “And he who burns them washes his garments, and shall bathe his
body in water, and afterward he comes into the camp.
Lev 16:29 “And this shall be for you a law forever: In the seventh month, on
the tenth day of the month, you afflict your beings, and do no work, the native
or the stranger who sojourns among you.

be clean from all your sins before יהוה.

in his father’s place, shall make atonement, and shall put on the linen
garments, the set-apart garments,

make atonement for the Tent of Meeting and for the altar, and make atonement
for the priests and for all the people of the assembly.
