New Testament

Leviticus 16:4-10 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

4. He shall be vested with a linen tunic. He shall conceal his nakedness with linen undergarments. He shall be wrapped with a linen belt, and he shall impose a linen headdress on his head. For these are holy vestments. All of these he shall put on, after he has been washed.

5. And he shall receive, from the entire multitude of the sons of Israel, two he-goats for sin, and one ram as a holocaust.

6. And when he has presented the calf, and has prayed for himself and for his own house,

7. he shall cause the two he-goats to stand in the sight of the Lord at the entrance to the tabernacle of the testimony.

8. And casting lots over them both, one is to be offered to the Lord, and the other is to be the emissary goat.

9. The one whose lot fell out to be offered to the Lord, he shall offer for sin.

10. But the one who is to be the emissary goat shall stand before the Lord, so that he may pour the prayers upon him, and may send him away into the wilderness.
