Leviticus 16:2-13

English Standard Version

² and the Lord said to Moses, “Tell Aaron your brother not to ^(A)come at any time into the Holy Place inside the veil, before the mercy seat that is on the ark, so that he may not die. For ^(B)I will appear in the cloud over the mercy seat. ³ But in this way Aaron shall come into the Holy Place: ^(C)with a bull from the herd for a sin offering and ^(D)a ram for a burnt offering. ⁴ He shall put on ^(E)the holy linen coat and shall have the linen undergarment on his body, and he shall tie the linen sash around his waist, and wear the linen turban; these are the holy garments. ^(F)He shall bathe his body in water and then put them on. ⁵ And he shall take from ^(G)the congregation of the people of Israel two male goats for a sin offering, and one ram for a burnt offering.

⁶ “Aaron shall ^(H)offer the bull as a sin offering for himself and shall ^(I)make atonement for himself and for his house. ⁷ Then he shall take the two goats and set them before the Lord at the entrance of the tent of meeting. ⁸ And Aaron shall cast lots over the two goats, one lot for the Lord and the other lot for ^(J)Azazel.^{[a] 9} And Aaron shall present the goat on which the lot fell for the Lord and use it as a sin offering, ¹⁰ but the goat on which the lot fell for ^(K)Azazel shall be presented alive before the Lord to make atonement over it, that it may be sent away into the wilderness to ^(L)Azazel.

¹¹ “Aaron shall present ^(M)the bull as a sin offering for himself, and shall make atonement for himself and for his house. He shall kill the bull as a sin offering for himself. ¹² And he shall take ^(N)a censer full of coals of fire from the altar before the Lord, and two handfuls of sweet incense beaten small, and he shall bring it inside the veil ^13 (O)and put the incense on the fire before the Lord, that the cloud of the incense may cover ^(P)the mercy seat that is over the testimony, so that he does not die.
