Day of atonement

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 the flesh,
and shall be grided with a linen gridle, 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.
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.
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.
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:
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.
