Leviticus 16

The solemn yearly expiation for the high priest, who must not come at all times into the holy place, Leviticus 16:1 , Leviticus 16:2 . He must take a bullock for a sin-offering, and a ram for a burnt-offering, bathe himself, and be dressed in his sacerdotal robes, Leviticus 16:3 , Leviticus 16:4 . He shall take two goats, one of which is to be determined by lot to be a sacrifice; the other to be a scapegoat, Leviticus 16:5-10 . He shall offer a bullock for himself and for his family, Leviticus 16:11-14 . And shall kill the goat as a sin-offering for the people, and sprinkle its blood upon the mercy-seat, and hallow the altar of burnt-offerings, Leviticus 16:15-19 . The scapegoat shall be then brought, on the head of which he shall lay his hands, and confess the iniquities of the children of Israel; after which the goat shall be permitted to escape to the wilderness, Leviticus 16:20-22 . After this Aaron shall bathe himself, and make a burnt-offering for himself and for the people, Leviticus 16:23-28 . This is to be an everlasting statute, and the day on which the atonement is to be made shall be a Sabbath, or day of rest, through all their generations, Leviticus 16:29-34 .
