Leviticus 16:6-14 English Standard Version (ESV)

6. “Aaron shall offer the bull as a sin offering for himself and shall 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 Azazel.

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 Azazel shall be presented alive before the Lord to make atonement over it, that it may be sent away into the wilderness to Azazel.

11. “Aaron shall present 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 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. and put the incense on the fire before the Lord, that the cloud of the incense may cover the mercy seat that is over the testimony, so that he does not die.

14. And he shall take some of the blood of the bull and sprinkle it with his finger on the front of the mercy seat on the east side, and in front of the mercy seat he shall sprinkle some of the blood with his finger seven times.
