1. The Lord spoke to Moses after the death of Aaron’s two sons when they approached the presence of the Lord and died,
2. and the Lord said to Moses: “Tell Aaron your brother that he must not enter at any time into the holy place inside the veil-canopy in front of the atonement plate that is on the ark so that he may not die, for I will appear in the cloud over the atonement plate.
3. “In this way Aaron is to enter into the sanctuary – with a young bull for a sin offering and a ram for a burnt offering.
4. He must put on a holy linen tunic, linen leggings are to cover his body, and he is to wrap himself with a linen sash and wrap his head with a linen turban. They are holy garments, so he must bathe his body in water and put them on.
5. He must also take two male goats from the congregation of the Israelites for a sin offering and one ram for a burnt offering.
