Leviticus 16:20-26 Modern English Version (MEV)

20. When he has made an end of atonement for the Holy Place, and the tent of meeting, and the altar, then he shall bring the live goat.

21. And Aaron shall lay both his hands on the head of the live goat, and confess over it all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions in all their sins, putting them on the head of the goat, and shall send it away by the hand of a designated man into the wilderness.

22. And the goat shall bear on it all their iniquities to a desolate land, and he shall let the goat go free in the wilderness.

23. Then Aaron shall come into the tent of meeting, and shall take off the linen garments which he put on when he went into the Holy Place, and shall leave them there.

24. And he shall wash his body with water in a holy place, and put on his garments, and come out, and offer his burnt offering, and the burnt offering of the people, and make atonement for himself and for the people.

25. The fat of the sin offering he shall burn on the altar.

26. He who releases the goat as the scapegoat shall wash his clothes, and bathe his body in water, and afterward come into the camp.
