Leviticus 16:1-9 World English Bible (WEB)

1. Yahweh spoke to Moses, after the death of the two sons of Aaron, when they came near before Yahweh, and died;

2. and Yahweh said to Moses, “Tell Aaron your brother, not to come at all times into the Most Holy Place within the veil, before the mercy seat which is on the ark; lest he die: for I will appear in the cloud on the mercy seat.

3. “Aaron shall come into the sanctuary with a young bull for a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering.

4. He shall put on the holy linen coat. He shall have the linen breeches on his body, and shall put on the linen sash, and he shall be clothed with the linen turban. They are the holy garments. He shall bathe his body in water, and put them on.

5. He shall take from the congregation of the children of Israel two male goats for a sin offering, and one ram for a burnt offering.

6. “Aaron shall offer the bull of the sin offering, which is for himself, and make atonement for himself and for his house.

7. He shall take the two goats, and set them before Yahweh at the door of the Tent of Meeting.

8. Aaron shall cast lots for the two goats; one lot for Yahweh, and the other lot for the scapegoat.

9. Aaron shall present the goat on which the lot fell for Yahweh, and offer him for a sin offering.
