Leviticus
Chapter
16
1
And Jehovah/God spoke/'communicated doctrine categorically'
{dabar - Piel intensive stem}
unto
Moses after the death of the two sons of Aaron,
when
they offered before Jehovah/God, and died.
2
And Jehovah/God said unto Moses,
Speak
unto Aaron your brother,
that
he come not at all times into the holy place
within
the veil before the mercy seat,
which
is upon the ark; that he die not.
For
I will appear in the cloud upon the mercy seat.
3
Thus shall Aaron come into the holy place.
With
a young bull for a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering.
4
He shall put on the holy linen coat,
and
he shall have the linen breeches upon his flesh,
and
shall be girded with a linen girdle,
and
with the linen mitre shall he be attired.
These
are holy garments;
therefore
shall he wash his flesh in water,
and
so put them on.
5
And he shall take of the congregation of the children of Israel
two
kids of the goats for a sin offering,
and
one ram for a burnt offering.
6
And Aaron shall offer his bull of the sin offering,
which
is for himself,
and
make an atonement for himself,
and
for his house.
7
And he shall take the two goats,
and
present them before Jehovah/God
at
the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
8
And Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats;
one
lot for Jehovah/God,
and
the other lot for the scapegoat.
9
And Aaron shall bring the goat upon which Jehovah/God's lot fell,
and
offer him for a sin offering.
10
But the goat, on which the lot fell to be the scapegoat,
shall
be presented alive before Jehovah/God,
to
make an atonement with him,
and
to let him go for a scapegoat into the desert.
11
And Aaron shall bring the bull of the sin offering,
which
is for himself,
and
shall make an atonement for himself,
and
for his house,
and
shall kill the bull of the sin offering which is for himself.
12
And he shall take a censer full of burning coals of fire
from
off the altar before Jehovah/God,
and
his hands full of sweet incense beaten small,
and
bring it within the veil.
13
And he shall put the incense
upon
the fire before Jehovah/God,
that
the cloud of the incense
may
cover the mercy seat
that
is upon the testimony, that he die not.
14
And he shall take of the blood of the bull,
and
sprinkle it with his finger upon the mercy seat eastward;
and
before the mercy seat
shall
he sprinkle of the blood with his finger
seven
times.
15
Then shall he kill the goat of the sin offering,
that
is for the people,
and
bring his blood within the veil,
and
do with that blood as he did with the blood of the bull,
and
sprinkle it upon the mercy seat,
and
before the mercy seat.
16
And he shall make an atonement for the holy place,
because
of the uncleanness of the children of Israel,
and
because of their transgressions in all their sins.
And
so shall he do for the tabernacle of the congregation,
that
remains among them in the midst of their uncleanness.
17~~And
there shall be no man in the tabernacle of the congregation
when
he goes in to make an atonement in the holy place
{day of atonement and High Priest enters -
Jesus has to go to the cross alone!},
until
he come out,
and
have made an atonement for himself,
and
for his household, and for all the congregation of Israel.
{Note:
This verse ties to John 18:9.}
18
And he shall go out unto the altar that is before Jehovah/God,
and
make an atonement for it;
and
shall take of the blood of the bull,
and
of the blood of the goat,
and
put it upon the horns of the altar round about.
19
And he shall sprinkle of the blood upon it
with
his finger seven times,
and
cleanse it,
and
hallow it from the uncleanness of the children of Israel.
20
And when he has made an end of reconciling the holy place,
and
the tabernacle of the congregation,
and
the altar, he shall bring the live goat.
21
And Aaron shall lay both his hands upon the head of the live goat,
and
confess over him all the iniquities of the children of Israel,
and
all their transgressions in all their sins,
putting
them upon the head of the goat,
and
shall send him away by the hand of a fit man into the desert.
22
And the goat shall bear upon him all their iniquities
unto
a land not inhabited.
And
he shall let go the goat in the desert.
23
And Aaron shall come into the tabernacle of the congregation,
and
shall put 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 flesh with water in the holy place,
and
put on his garments, and come forth,
and
offer his burnt offering,
and
the burnt offering of the people,
and
make an atonement for himself,
and
for the people.
25
And the fat of the sin offering shall he burn upon the altar.
26
And he who let go the goat for the scapegoat
shall
wash his clothes,
and
bathe his flesh in water,
and
afterward come into the camp.
27
And the bull for the sin offering,
and
the goat for the sin offering,
whose
blood was brought in to make atonement in the holy place,
shall
one carry forth without the camp;
and
they shall burn in the fire their skins,
and
their flesh, and their dung.
28
And he who burns them shall wash his clothes,
and
bathe his flesh in water,
and
afterward he shall come into the camp.
29
And this shall be a statute forever unto you.
That
in the seventh month,
on
the tenth day of the month,
you
shall afflict your souls,
and
do no work at all,
whether
it be one of your own country,
or
a stranger that sojourns among you.
30
For on that day shall the priest make an atonement for you,
to
cleanse you, that you may be clean
from
all your sins before Jehovah/God.
31
It shall be a Sabbath of rest unto you,
and
you shall afflict your souls,
by
a statute forever.
32
And the priest, whom he shall anoint,
and
whom he shall consecrate to minister
in
the priest's office in his father's stead,
shall
make the atonement,
and
shall put on the linen clothes,
even
the holy garments.
33
And he shall make an atonement for the holy sanctuary,
and
he shall make an atonement for the tabernacle of the congregation,
and
for the altar,
and
he shall make an atonement for the priests,
and
for all the people of the congregation.
34
And this shall be an everlasting statute unto you,
to
make an atonement for the children of Israel
for
all their sins once a year.
And
he did as Jehovah/God commanded Moses.
