Leviticus 16:25-33 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

25. And the fat which is offered for sins, he shall burn upon the altar.

26. Yet truly, he who has sent away the emissary goat shall wash his clothes and his body with water, and so he shall enter into the camp.

27. But the calf and the he-goat, which were immolated for sin, and whose blood was brought into the Sanctuary to complete the expiation, these shall be carried outside the camp and be burned with fire: as with their skins, so also with their flesh and dung.

28. And whoever will have burned them shall wash his clothes and flesh with water, and so he shall enter into the camp.

29. And this shall be to you an everlasting ordinance. In the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, you shall afflict your souls, and you shall do no work, neither someone native born, nor the newcomer who sojourns among you.

30. On this day, there shall be atonement for you, and also a cleansing from all your sins. You shall be cleansed in the sight of the Lord.

31. For it is a Sabbath of rest, and you shall afflict your souls as a perpetual observance.

32. And the priest who has been anointed, and whose hands have been consecrated to exercise the priesthood in the place of his father, shall make atonement. And he shall be clothed with the linen robe and the holy vestments.

33. And he shall expiate the Sanctuary and the tabernacle of the testimony and the altar, likewise the priest and all the people.
