Chapter 16
|
1
|
And the LORD spake unto Moses after the death of the
two sons of Aaron, when they offered before the LORD, and
died; |
2
|
And the LORD said unto Moses, Speak unto Aaron thy brother,
that he come not at all times into the holy place within
the vail before the mercy seat, which is upon the ark;
that he die not: for I will appear in the cloud upon the
mercy seat. |
3
|
Thus shall Aaron come into the holy place: with a young
bullock for a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering. |
4
|
He shall put on the holy linen coat, and he shall have
the linen breeches upon his flesh, and shall be girded
with a linen girdle, and with the linen mitre shall he
be attired: these are holy garments; therefore shall he
wash his flesh in water, and so put them on. |
5
|
And he shall take of the congregation of the children
of Israel two kids of the goats for a sin offering, and
one ram for a burnt offering. |
6
|
And Aaron shall offer his bullock of the sin offering,
which is for himself, and make an atonement for himself,
and for his house. |
7
|
And he shall take the two goats, and present them before
the LORD at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. |
8
|
And Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats; one lot
for the LORD, and the other lot for the scapegoat. |
9
|
And Aaron shall bring the goat upon which the LORD's
lot fell, and offer him for a sin offering. |
10
|
But the goat, on which the lot fell to be the scapegoat,
shall be presented alive before the LORD, to make an atonement
with him, and to let him go for a scapegoat into the wilderness. |
11
|
And Aaron shall bring the bullock of the sin offering,
which is for himself, and shall make an atonement for himself,
and for his house, and shall kill the bullock of the sin
offering which is for himself: |
12
|
And he shall take a censer full of burning coals of fire
from off the altar before the LORD, and his hands full
of sweet incense beaten small, and bring it within the
vail: |
13
|
And he shall put the incense upon the fire before the
LORD, that the cloud of the incense may cover the mercy
seat that is upon the testimony, that he die not: |
14
|
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. |
15
|
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: |
16
|
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. |
17
|
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. |
18
|
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. |
19
|
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. |
20
|
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: |
21
|
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: |
22
|
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. |
23
|
And Aaron shall come into the tabernacle of the congregation,
and shall put off the linen garments, which he put on when
he went into the holy place, and shall leave them there: |
24
|
And he shall wash his flesh with water in the holy place,
and put on his garments, and come forth, and offer his
burnt offering, and the burnt offering of the people, and
make an atonement for himself, and for the people. |
25
|
And the fat of the sin offering shall he burn upon the
altar. |
26
|
And he that let go the goat for the scapegoat shall wash
his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward
come into the camp. |
27
|
And the bullock for the sin offering, and the goat for
the sin offering, whose blood was brought in to make atonement
in the holy place, shall one carry forth without the camp;
and they shall burn in the fire their skins, and their
flesh, and their dung. |
28
|
And he that burneth them shall wash his clothes, and
bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into
the camp. |
29
|
And this shall be a statute for ever unto you: that in
the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, ye shall
afflict your souls, and do no work at all, whether it be
one of your own country, or a stranger that sojourneth
among you: |
30
|
For on that day shall the priest make an atonement for
you, to cleanse you, that ye may be clean from all your
sins before the LORD. |
31
|
It shall be a sabbath of rest unto you, and ye shall
afflict your souls, by a statute for ever. |
32
|
And the priest, whom he shall anoint, and whom he shall
consecrate to minister in the priest's office in his father's
stead, shall make the atonement, and shall put on the linen
clothes, even the holy garments: |
33
|
And he shall make an atonement for the holy sanctuary,
and he shall make an atonement for the tabernacle of the
congregation, and for the altar, and he shall make an atonement
for the priests, and for all the people of the congregation. |
34
|
And this shall be an everlasting statute unto you, to
make an atonement for the children of Israel for all their
sins once a year. And he did as the LORD commanded Moses. |
