Leviticus 16:1-5 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

1. Then Yahweh spoke to Moses after the death of Aaron’s two sons, when they had come near before Yahweh and they died.

2. And Yahweh said to Moses, “Tell your brother Aaron that he should not enter at any time into the sanctuary behind the curtain in front of the atonement cover that is on the ark, so that he might not die, because I appear in the cloud over the atonement cover.

3. “Aaron must enter the sanctuary with this: a young bull as a sin offering and a ram as a burnt offering.

4. He must put on a holy linen tunic, and linen undergarments must be on his body, and he must fasten himself with a linen sash, and he must wrap a linen turban around his head—they are holy garments, and he shall wash his body with water, then he shall put them on.

5. And he must take from the Israelites’ community two he-goats as a sin offering and one ram as a burnt offering.
