Leviticus 16

1 And he spoke Yahweh to Moses after [the] death of [the] two [the] sons of Aaron when drew near they before Yahweh and they died.

Yahweh spoke to Moses—this was after the death of Aaron's two sons, when they had gone near to Yahweh and then died.

2 And he said Yahweh to Moses speak to Aaron brother your and may not he come at every time into the holy place from inside to the curtain to [the] face of the atonement cover which [is] on the ark and not he will die for in the cloud I will appear over the atonement cover.

Yahweh said to Moses, “Speak to Aaron your brother and tell him not to come at just any time into the most holy place inside the curtain, before the atonement lid that is on the ark. If he does, he will die, because I appear in the cloud over the atonement lid.

3 With this he will come Aaron into the holy place with a bull a young one of [the] herd to a sin offering and a ram to a burnt offering.

So here is how Aaron must come into the most holy place. He must enter with a young bull as a sin offering, and a ram as a burnt offering.

4 A tunic of linen of holiness he will wear and undergarments of linen they will be on flesh his and with a sash of linen he will gird himself and with a turban of linen he will wind [are] garments of holiness they and he will wash with water body his and he will put on them.

He must put on the holy linen tunic, and he must put the linen undergarments on himself, and he must wear the linen sash and linen turban. These are the holy garments. He must bathe his body in water and then dress himself with these clothes.

5 And from with [the] congregation of [the] people of Israel he will take two male goats of goats to a sin offering and a ram one to a burnt offering.

He must take from the assembly of the people of Israel two male goats as a sin offering and one ram as a burnt offering.

6 And he will present Aaron [the] bull of the sin offering which [is] for himself and he will make atonement for himself and for household his.

Then Aaron must present the bull as the sin offering, which will be for himself, to make atonement for himself and his family.

7 And he will take [the] two the male goats and he will station them before Yahweh [the] entrance of [the] tent of meeting.

Then he must take the two goats and set them before Yahweh at the entrance to the tent of meeting.

8 And he will put Aaron on [the] two the male goats lots a lot one for Yahweh and a lot one for [the] escape goat.

Then Aaron must cast lots for the two goats, one lot for Yahweh, and the other lot for the scapegoat.

9 And he will present Aaron the male goat which it came up on it the lot for Yahweh and he will offer it a sin offering.

Aaron must then present the goat on which the lot fell for Yahweh, and offer that goat as a sin offering.

10 And the male goat which it came up on it the lot for [the] escape goat it will be stationed alive before Yahweh to make atonement on it by sending away it to [the] escape goat the wilderness towards.

But the goat on which the lot fell for the scapegoat must be brought alive before Yahweh, to make atonement by sending him away as a scapegoat into the wilderness.

11 And he will present Aaron [the] bull of the sin offering which [is] for himself and he will make atonement for himself and for household his and he will cut [the] throat of [the] bull of the sin offering which [is] for himself.

Then Aaron must present the bull for the sin offering, which will be for himself. He must make atonement for himself and for his family, so he must kill the bull as a sin offering for himself.

12 And he will take fullness of censer coals of fire from on the altar from to before Yahweh and [the] fullness of hands his incense of perfume fine and he will bring [them] from inside to the curtain.

Aaron must take a censer full of coals of fire from off the altar before Yahweh, with his hands full of finely ground sweet incense, and bring these things inside the curtain.

13 And he will put the incense on the fire before Yahweh and it will cover - [the] cloud of the incense the atonement cover which [is] on the testimony and not he will die.

There he must put the incense on the fire before Yahweh so that the cloud from the incense may cover the atonement lid over the covenant decrees. He must do this so he will not die.

14 And he will take some of [the] blood of the bull and he will spatter [it] with finger his on [the] face of the atonement cover east-ward and before the atonement cover he will spatter seven times some of the blood with finger his.

Then he must take some of the blood of the bull and sprinkle it with his finger on the front of the atonement lid. He must sprinkle some of the blood with his finger seven times before the atonement lid.

15 And he will cut [the] throat of [the] male goat of the sin offering which [is] for the people and he will bring blood its to from inside to the curtain and he will do with blood its just as he did to [the] blood of the bull and he will spatter it on the atonement cover and before the atonement cover.

Then he must kill the goat for the sin offering that is for the people and bring its blood inside the curtain. There he must do with the blood as he did with the blood of the bull: He must sprinkle it on the atonement lid and then before the atonement lid.

16 And he will make atonement on the holy place from [the] uncleanness of [the] people of Israel and from transgressions their to all sins their and thus he will do to [the] tent of meeting which dwells with them in among uncleanness their.

He must make atonement for the holy place because of the unclean actions of the people of Israel, and because of their rebellion and all their sins. He must also do this for the tent of meeting, where Yahweh lives among them, in the presence of their unclean actions.

17 And any person not he will be - in [the] tent of meeting when goes he to make atonement in the holy place until comes out he and he has made atonement for himself and for household his and for all [the] assembly of Israel.

No one must be in the tent of meeting when Aaron enters it to make atonement in the most holy place, and until he comes out and has finished making atonement for himself and for his family, and for all the assembly of Israel.

18 And he will go out to the altar which [is] before Yahweh and he will make atonement on it and he will take some of [the] blood of the bull and some of [the] blood of the male goat and he will put [it] on [the] horns of the altar all around.

He must go out to the altar that is before Yahweh and make atonement for it, and he must take some of the bull's blood and some of the goat's blood and put it on the horns of the altar all around.

19 And he will spatter on it some of the blood with finger his seven times and he will purify it and he will set apart as holy it from [the] uncleanness of [the] people of Israel.

He must sprinkle some of the blood on it with his finger seven times to cleanse it and set it apart to Yahweh, away from the unclean actions of the people of Israel.

20 And he will finish from making atonement for the holy place and [the] tent of meeting and the altar and he will present the male goat living.

When he has finished atoning for the most holy place, the tent of meeting, and the altar, he must present the live goat.

21 And he will lean Aaron [the] two (hands his *QK) on [the] head of the male goat living and he will confess over it all [the] iniquities of [the] people of Israel and all transgressions their to all sins their and he will put them on [the] head of the male goat and he will send [it] away by [the] hand of a man ready the wilderness towards.

Aaron must lay both his hands on the head of the live goat and confess over him all the wickedness of the people of Israel, all their rebellion, and all their sins. Then he must put that sinfulness on the head of the goat and send the goat away in the care of a man who is ready to lead the goat into the wilderness.

22 And it will bear the male goat on itself all iniquities their into a land infertile and he will let go the male goat in the wilderness.

The goat must carry on himself all the people's wickedness to a solitary place. There in the wilderness, the man must let the goat go free.

23 And he will go Aaron into [the] tent of meeting and he will strip off [the] garments of linen which he wore when went he into the holy place and he will leave them there.

Then Aaron must go back into the tent of meeting and take off the linen garments that he had put on before going into the most holy place, and he must leave those garments there.

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

He must bathe his body in water in a holy place, and put on his normal garments; then he must go out and offer his burnt offering and the burnt offering for the people, and in this way make atonement for himself and for the people.

25 And [the] fat of the sin offering he will make smoke the altar towards.

He must burn the fat of the sin offering on the altar.

26 And the [one who] let go the male goat to [the] escape goat he will wash garments his and he will wash body his with water and after thus he will come into the camp.

The man who let the scapegoat go free must wash his clothes and bathe his body in water; after that, he may come back into the camp.

27 And [the] bull of the sin offering and - [the] male goat of the sin offering which it was brought blood their to make atonement in the holy place someone will bring out to from [the] outside of the camp and people will burn with fire hides their and flesh their and offal their.

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, must be carried outside the camp. There they must burn their hides, flesh, and dung.

28 And the [one who] burns them he will wash garments his and he will wash body his with water and after thus he will come into the camp.

The man who burns those parts must wash his clothes and bathe his body in water; after that, he may come back into the camp.

29 And it will become for you a statute of perpetuity in the month seventh on the ten of the month you will afflict selves your and any work not you will do the native-born and the sojourner who sojourns in midst of you.

It will always be a statute for you that in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, you must humble yourselves and do no work, whether the native born or a foreigner who is living among you.

30 For on the day this he will make atonement on you to purify you from all sins your before Yahweh you will be pure.

This is because on this day atonement will be made for you, to cleanse you from all your sins so you will be clean before Yahweh.

31 [is] a sabbath of Sabbath observance it to you and you will afflict selves your a statute of perpetuity.

It is a solemn Sabbath of rest for you, and you must humble yourselves and do no work. This will always be a statute among you.

32 And he will make atonement the priest whom someone will anoint him and whom someone will fill hand his to serve as priest in place of father his and he will wear [the] garments of linen [the] garments of holiness.

The high priest, the one who will be anointed and ordained to be high priest in his father's place, he must make this atonement and put on the linen garments, that is, the holy garments.

33 And he will make atonement for [the] sanctuary of holiness and [the] tent of meeting and the altar he will make atonement for and on the priests and on all [the] people of the assembly he will make atonement.

He must make atonement for the most holy place; he must make atonement for the tent of meeting and for the altar, and he must make atonement for the priests and for all the people of the assembly.

34 And it will become this for you a statute of perpetuity to make atonement on [the] people of Israel from all sins their one [time] in the year and he did just as he had commanded Yahweh Moses.

This will always be a statute for you, to make atonement for the people of Israel because of all their sins, once in every year.” This was done as Yahweh commanded Moses.
