赎罪日的条例

16 亚伦的两个儿子死在耶和华面前以后, 耶和华对摩西说:“告诉你哥哥亚伦,他不可随意进入幔子里面的至圣所,走到约柜上的施恩座前,免得死亡,因为我要在施恩座之上的云彩中显现。 亚伦进入圣所时,要带一只作赎罪祭的公牛犊和一只作燔祭的公绵羊。 他要穿上圣洁的细麻内袍、细麻裤子,束上细麻腰带,戴上细麻礼冠。这些是圣洁的衣物,他必须沐浴后才可穿戴。 他要从以色列会众那里取两只公山羊作赎罪祭、一只公绵羊作燔祭。 亚伦要先献上那头公牛犊作赎罪祭,为自己和全家赎罪。 然后,他要把两只公山羊带到会幕门口,放在耶和华面前, 抽签决定哪只归耶和华、哪只归阿撒泻勒[a] 亚伦要献上那只归耶和华的公山羊作赎罪祭, 10 要将那只归阿撒泻勒的公山羊活着献给耶和华,然后把它放到旷野归阿撒泻勒,用来赎罪。

11 “亚伦要把那只为他作赎罪祭的公牛犊牵来宰杀,为自己和全家赎罪, 12 然后拿一个香炉,盛满从耶和华面前的祭坛上取的火炭,再拿两把磨细的香带进幔子里。 13 他要在耶和华面前烧香,使香的烟笼罩约柜上的施恩座,免得他死亡。 14 他要取一些牛血,用手指弹洒在施恩座的东面,也要在施恩座前用手指弹洒七次。 15 然后,亚伦要出去宰杀那只为民众作赎罪祭的公山羊,把羊血带进幔子里,像洒牛血一样洒在施恩座的上面和前面。 16 因以色列人的污秽、叛逆和罪恶,他要这样为至圣所赎罪。他也要同样为会幕赎罪,因为会幕座落在以色列人中间,处在他们的污秽中。 17 从他进入圣所为自己全家和以色列全体会众赎罪开始,直到他赎完罪出来为止,任何人都不可待在会幕里。 18 之后,他要来到耶和华面前的祭坛那里,为祭坛赎罪。他要取一些牛血和羊血,抹在祭坛的四角上, 19 用手指向祭坛洒血七次,除掉以色列人的污秽,使祭坛圣洁。

20 “他为至圣所、会幕和祭坛赎罪后,要牵来那只活山羊, 21 把双手放在羊头上,承认以色列人的过犯、叛逆和罪恶,将这一切罪归到公山羊的头上,然后派人把它送到旷野。 22 这只公山羊担当他们的一切罪,将这一切罪带到荒无人烟的地方。

23 “亚伦要走进会幕,脱下他进至圣所时穿的细麻衣服,放在会幕里。 24 他要在圣洁之处沐浴,穿上平时的衣服出去为自己和民众献燔祭,为自己和民众赎罪。 25 他要将赎罪祭牲的脂肪焚烧在坛上。 26 把羊送交阿撒泻勒的人要洗衣、沐浴,然后才可回到营里。 27 作赎罪祭的公牛和公山羊的血被带进圣所用来赎罪,要把公牛和公山羊带到营外,用火焚烧它们的皮、肉和粪。 28 负责焚烧的人要洗衣、沐浴,然后才可回到营里。

29 “每年七月十日,不论是你们,还是寄居在你们中间的外族人,都要禁食,停止所有工作。这是你们要永远遵守的律例。 30 因为在这一天要为你们赎罪,使你们在耶和华面前洁净。 31 这天是你们的安息日,你们要禁食。这是一条永远不变的律例。 32 那受膏、承受圣职、替代父亲做大祭司的要献祭赎罪。他要穿上圣洁的细麻衣, 33 为至圣所、会幕和祭坛赎罪,也要为祭司和全体会众赎罪。 34 这是你们要永远遵守的律例——每年一次为以色列人赎罪。”

于是,摩西遵行了耶和华的吩咐。

  1. 16:8 阿撒泻勒”是希伯来文的音译,意义不确定。

16 And the Lord spake unto Moses after the death of the two sons of Aaron, when they offered before the Lord, and died;

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.

Thus shall Aaron come into the holy place: with a young bullock for a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering.

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.

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.

And Aaron shall offer his bullock of the sin offering, which is for himself, and make an atonement for himself, and for his house.

And he shall take the two goats, and present them before the Lord at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

And Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats; one lot for the Lord, and the other lot for the scapegoat.

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.

16 ¶ And the LORD spoke unto Moses after the death of the two sons of Aaron, when they came near before the LORD and died;

and the LORD said unto Moses, Speak unto Aaron, thy brother, that he not enter at all times into the sanctuary inside the veil before the seat of reconciliation, which is upon the ark, that he not die; for I will appear in the cloud above the seat of reconciliation.

Thus shall Aaron come into the holy place: with a young bullock as sin and a ram as a burnt offering.

He shall put on the holy linen coat, and he shall have the linen underwear upon his flesh and shall be girded with a linen girdle, and with the linen mitre shall he cover himself. These are holy garments; and he shall wash his flesh with water and put them on.

¶ And he shall take of the congregation of the sons of Israel two he goats as the sin and one ram as a burnt offering.

And Aaron shall cause the bullock of his sin to be brought, and make reconciliation for himself and for his house.

After that, he shall take the two goats and present them before the LORD at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony.

And Aaron shall cast lots upon the two he goats, one lot for the LORD and the other lot for Azazel. {Heb. entire removal}

And Aaron shall cause the he goat upon which the LORD’s lot fell to be brought and offer him for the sin.

10 But the he goat on which the lot fell for Azazel shall be presented alive before the LORD, to make the reconciliation upon him and to send him to Azazel into the wilderness.

11 And Aaron shall cause the bullock of his own sin to be brought and shall make the reconciliation for himself and for his house and shall kill the bullock of his own sin.

12 After that he shall take the censer full of burning coals of fire from off the altar before the LORD and his hands full of aromatic incense beaten small and bring it inside the veil.

13 And he shall put the incense upon the fire before the LORD, and the cloud of the incense shall cover the seat of reconciliation that is upon the testimony, and he shall not die.

14 Then he shall take of the blood of the bullock and sprinkle it with his finger towards the seat of reconciliation eastward; towards the seat of reconciliation he shall sprinkle of the blood with his finger seven times.

15 ¶ After that, he shall kill the goat of the sin of the people and bring its blood inside the veil and do with that blood as he did with the blood of the bullock and sprinkle it upon the seat of reconciliation and before the seat of reconciliation;

16 and he shall cleanse the sanctuary of the uncleanness of the sons of Israel and of their rebellions and of all their sins; in the same manner so shall he do for the tabernacle of the testimony, which dwells among them in the midst of their uncleanness.

17 And no man shall be in the tabernacle of the testimony when he enters in to make reconciliation in the sanctuary until he comes out and has made reconciliation 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 reconcile it and shall take of the blood of the bullock and of the blood of the he 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 sanctify it from the uncleanness of the sons of Israel.

20 ¶ And when he has made an end of reconciling the sanctuary and the tabernacle of the testimony and the altar, he shall cause the live he goat to be brought;

21 and Aaron shall lay both his hands upon the head of the live he goat and confess over it all the iniquities of the sons of Israel and all their rebellions and all their sins, putting them thus upon the head of the he goat and shall send him away into the wilderness by the hand of a man prepared for this;

22 and that he goat shall bear upon itself all their iniquities unto an uninhabitable land; and he shall send the he goat into the wilderness.

23 After that, Aaron shall come into the tabernacle of the testimony and shall put off the linen garments, which he put on to enter into the sanctuary, and shall put them there.

24 Then he shall wash his flesh with water in the holy place and put on his garments and come forth after that and make his burnt offering and the burnt offering of the people and make reconciliation for himself and for the people.

25 And the fat of the sin he shall incense upon the altar.

26 And he that took the he goat to Azazel shall wash his clothes and bathe his flesh with water and afterward come into the camp.

27 And he shall take outside the camp the bullock of the sin and the goat of the sin, whose blood was brought in to make the reconciliation in the sanctuary; and they shall burn in the fire their skins and their flesh and their dung.

28 And he that burns them shall wash his clothes and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp.

29 ¶ And you shall hold this as a perpetual statute: In the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, ye shall afflict your souls and do no work at all, whether it is a natural of your own country or a stranger that sojourns among you;

30 for on that day he shall reconcile 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 perpetual statute.

32 And the reconciliation shall be made by the priest who is anointed and whose hand has been filled to be priest in the place of his father; and he shall put on the linen clothes, the holy garments;

33 and he shall reconcile the holy sanctuary and reconcile the tabernacle of the testimony; he shall also reconcile the altar and the priests and all the people of the congregation.

34 And you shall hold this as a perpetual statute to reconcile the sons of Israel of all their sins once a year. And Moses did as the LORD commanded him.
