New Testament

Leviticus 16:24-31 New Century Version (NCV)

24. He will bathe his body in water in a holy place and put on his regular clothes. Then he will come out and offer the whole burnt offering for himself and for the people, to remove sins from himself and the people so they will belong to the Lord.

25. Then he will burn the fat of the sin offering on the altar.

26. “The person who led the goat, the goat to remove sins, into the desert must wash his clothes and bathe his body in water. After that, he may come back into the camp.

27. “The bull and the goat for the sin offerings, whose blood was brought into the Most Holy Place to make it ready for service to the Lord, must be taken outside the camp; the animals’ skins, bodies, and intestines will be burned in the fire.

28. Then the one who burns them must wash his clothes and bathe his body in water. After that, he may come back into the camp.

29. “This law will always continue for you: On the tenth day of the seventh month, you must deny yourself and you must not do any work. The travelers or foreigners living with you must not work either.

30. It is on this day that the priests will make you clean so you will belong to the Lord again. All your sins will be removed.

31. This is a very important day of rest for you, and you must deny yourselves. This law will continue forever.
