17. And no person shall be in the tent of assembly when he enters to make atonement in the sanctuary until he comes out, and so he shall make atonement for himself and for his family and for all of Israel’s assembly.

20. “And he shall finish making atonement for the sanctuary and the tent of assembly and the altar; then he shall present the living goat.
21. And Aaron shall place his two hands on the living goat’s head, and he shall confess over it all the Israelites’ iniquities and all their transgressions for all their sins, and he shall put them on the goat’s head, and he shall send it away into the desert with a man standing ready.
22. Thus the goat shall bear on it to a barren region all their guilt, and he shall send the goat away into the desert.

28. And the person who burns them shall wash his garments, and he shall wash his body with water, and afterward he must come to the camp.
29. “And this shall be a lasting statute for you: in the seventh month, on the tenth of the month, you must deny yourselves and you must not do any work, whether the native or the alien who is dwelling in your midst,
30. because on this day he shall make atonement for you to cleanse you; you must be clean from all your sins before Yahweh.
