Leviticus 16:23-30 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

23. “Then Aaron is to enter the tent of meeting, take off the linen garments he wore when he entered the most holy place, and leave them there.

24. He will bathe his body with water in a holy place and put on his clothes. Then he must go out and sacrifice his burnt offering and the people’s burnt offering; he will make atonement for himself and for the people.

25. He is to burn the fat of the sin offering on the altar.

26. The man who released the goat for azazel is to wash his clothes and bathe his body with water; afterward he may reenter the camp.

27. The bull for the sin offering and the goat for the sin offering, whose blood was brought into the most holy place to make atonement, must be brought outside the camp and their hide, flesh, and dung burned up.

28. The one who burns them is to wash his clothes and bathe himself with water; afterward he may reenter the camp.

29. “This is to be a permanent statute for you: In the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month you are to practice self-denial and do no work, both the native and the foreigner who resides among you.

30. Atonement will be made for you on this day to cleanse you, and you will be clean from all your sins before the Lord.
