Leviticus 16 (WEBP)

[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 just any time 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 tunic. He shall have the linen trousers 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.
[10] But the goat on which the lot fell for the scapegoat shall be presented alive before Yahweh, to make atonement for him, to send him away as the scapegoat into the wilderness.
[11] “Aaron shall present the bull of the sin offering, which is for himself, and shall make atonement for himself and for his house, and shall kill the bull of the sin offering which is for himself.
[12] He shall take a censer full of coals of fire from off the altar before Yahweh, and two handfuls of sweet incense beaten small, and bring it within the veil.
[13] He shall put the incense on the fire before Yahweh, that the cloud of the incense may cover the mercy seat that is on the covenant, so that he will not die.
[14] He shall take some of the blood of the bull, and sprinkle it with his finger on the mercy seat on the east; and before the mercy seat he shall sprinkle some of the blood with his finger seven times.
[15] “Then he shall kill the goat of the sin offering that is for the people, and bring his blood within the veil, and do with his blood as he did with the blood of the bull, and sprinkle it on the mercy seat and before the mercy seat.
[16] He shall make atonement for the Holy Place, because of the uncleanness of the children of Israel, and because of their transgressions, even all their sins; and so he shall do for the Tent of Meeting that dwells with them in the middle of their uncleanness.
[17] No one shall be in the Tent of Meeting when he enters to make atonement in the Holy Place, until he comes out, and has made atonement for himself and for his household, and for all the assembly of Israel.
[18] “He shall go out to the altar that is before Yahweh and make atonement for it, and shall take some of the bull’s blood, and some of the goat’s blood, and put it around on the horns of the altar.
[19] He shall sprinkle some of the blood on it with his finger seven times, and cleanse it, and make it holy from the uncleanness of the children of Israel.
[20] “When he has finished atoning for the Holy Place, the Tent of Meeting, and the altar, he shall present the live goat.
[21] Aaron shall lay both his hands on the head of the live goat, and confess over him all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions, even all their sins; and he shall put them on the head of the goat, and shall send him away into the wilderness by the hand of a man who is ready.
[22] The goat shall carry all their iniquities on himself to a solitary land, and he shall release the goat in the wilderness.
[23] “Aaron shall come into the Tent of Meeting, and shall take off the linen garments which he put on when he went into the Holy Place, and shall leave them there.
[24] Then he shall bathe himself in water in a holy place, put on his garments, and come out and offer his burnt offering and the burnt offering of the people, and make atonement for himself and for the people.
[25] The fat of the sin offering he shall burn on the altar.
[26] “He who lets the goat go as the scapegoat shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp.
[27] 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 be carried outside the camp; and they shall burn their skins, their flesh, and their dung with fire.
[28] He who burns them shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp.
[29] “It shall be a statute to you forever: in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, you shall afflict your souls, and shall do no kind of work, whether native-born or a stranger who lives as a foreigner among you;
[30] for on this day shall atonement be made for you, to cleanse you. You shall be clean from all your sins before Yahweh.
[31] It is a Sabbath of solemn rest to you, and you shall afflict your souls. It is a statute forever.
[32] The priest, who is anointed and who is consecrated to be priest in his father’s place, shall make the atonement, and shall put on the linen garments, even the holy garments.
[33] Then he shall make atonement for the Holy Sanctuary; and he shall make atonement for the Tent of Meeting and for the altar; and he shall make atonement for the priests and for all the people of the assembly.
[34] “This shall be an everlasting statute for you, to make atonement for the children of Israel once in the year because of all their sins.” It was done as Yahweh commanded Moses.

Leviticus 16 (KJVS)

[1] And the LORD H3068 spake H1696 (8762) unto Moses H4872 after H310 the death H4194 of the two H8147 sons H1121 of Aaron H175, when they offered H7126 (8800) before H6440 the LORD H3068, and died H4191 (8799);
[2] And the LORD H3068 said H559 (8799) unto Moses H4872, Speak H1696 (8761) unto Aaron H175 thy brother H251, that he come H935 (8799) not at all times H6256 into the holy H6944 [place] within H1004 the vail H6532 before H6440 the mercy seat H3727, which [is] upon the ark H727; that he die H4191 (8799) not: for I will appear H7200 (8735) in the cloud H6051 upon the mercy H3727 seat.
[3] Thus H2063 shall Aaron H175 come H935 (8799) into the holy H6944 [place]: with a young H1121 H1241 bullock H6499 for a sin offering H2403, and a ram H352 for a burnt offering H5930.
[4] He shall put on H3847 (8799) the holy H6944 linen H906 coat H3801, and he shall have the linen H906 breeches H4370 upon his flesh H1320, and shall be girded H2296 (8799) with a linen H906 girdle H73, and with the linen H906 mitre H4701 shall he be attired H6801 (8799): these H1992 [are] holy H6944 garments H899; therefore shall he wash H7364 (8804) his flesh H1320 in water H4325, and [so] put them on H3847 (8804).
[5] And he shall take H3947 (8799) of the congregation H5712 of the children H1121 of Israel H3478 two H8147 kids H8163 of the goats H5795 for a sin offering H2403, and one H259 ram H352 for a burnt offering H5930.
[6] And Aaron H175 shall offer H7126 (8689) his bullock H6499 of the sin offering H2403, which [is] for himself H1157, and make an atonement H3722 (8765) for himself, and for his house H1004.
[7] And he shall take H3947 (8804) the two H8147 goats H8163, and present H5975 (8689) them before H6440 the LORD H3068 [at] the door H6607 of the tabernacle H168 of the congregation H4150.
[8] And Aaron H175 shall cast H5414 (8804) lots H1486 upon the two H8147 goats H8163; one H259 lot H1486 for the LORD H3068, and the other H259 lot H1486 for the scapegoat H5799.
[9] And Aaron H175 shall bring H7126 (8689) the goat H8163 upon which the LORD’S H3068 lot H1486 fell H5927 (8804), and offer H6213 (8804) him [for] a sin offering H2403.
[10] But the goat H8163, on which the lot H1486 fell H5927 (8804) to be the scapegoat H5799, shall be presented H5975 (8714) alive H2416 before H6440 the LORD H3068, to make an atonement H3722 (8763) with him, [and] to let him go H7971 (8763) for a scapegoat H5799 into the wilderness H4057.
[11] And Aaron H175 shall bring H7126 (8689) the bullock H6499 of the sin offering H2403, which [is] for himself, and shall make an atonement H3722 (8765) for himself, and for his house H1004, and shall kill H7819 (8804) the bullock H6499 of the sin offering H2403 which [is] for himself:
[12] And he shall take H3947 (8804) a censer H4289 full H4393 of burning H784 coals H1513 of fire H784 from off the altar H4196 before H6440 the LORD H3068, and his hands H2651 full H4393 of sweet H5561 incense H7004 beaten small H1851, and bring H935 (8689) [it] within H1004 the vail H6532:
[13] And he shall put H5414 (8804) the incense H7004 upon the fire H784 before H6440 the LORD H3068, that the cloud H6051 of the incense H7004 may cover H3680 (8765) the mercy seat H3727 that [is] upon the testimony H5715, that he die H4191 (8799) not:
[14] And he shall take H3947 (8804) of the blood H1818 of the bullock H6499, and sprinkle H5137 (8689) [it] with his finger H676 upon the mercy seat H3727 eastward H6924; and before H6440 the mercy seat H3727 shall he sprinkle H5137 (8686) of the blood H1818 with his finger H676 seven H7651 times H6471.
[15] Then shall he kill H7819 (8804) the goat H8163 of the sin offering H2403, that [is] for the people H5971, and bring H935 (8689) his blood H1818 within H1004 the vail H6532, and do H6213 (8804) with that blood H1818 as he did H6213 (8804) with the blood H1818 of the bullock H6499, and sprinkle H5137 (8689) it upon the mercy seat H3727, and before H6440 the mercy seat H3727:
[16] And he shall make an atonement H3722 (8765) for the holy H6944 [place], because of the uncleanness H2932 of the children H1121 of Israel H3478, and because of their transgressions H6588 in all their sins H2403: and so shall he do H6213 (8799) for the tabernacle H168 of the congregation H4150, that remaineth H7931 (8802) among them in the midst H8432 of their uncleanness H2932.
[17] And there shall be no man H120 in the tabernacle H168 of the congregation H4150 when he goeth H935 (8800) in to make an atonement H3722 (8763) in the holy H6944 [place], until he come out H3318 (8800), and have made an atonement H3722 (8765) for himself, and for his household H1004, and for all the congregation H6951 of Israel H3478.
[18] And he shall go out H3318 (8804) unto the altar H4196 that [is] before H6440 the LORD H3068, and make an atonement H3722 (8765) for it; and shall take H3947 (8804) of the blood H1818 of the bullock H6499, and of the blood H1818 of the goat H8163, and put H5414 (8804) [it] upon the horns H7161 of the altar H4196 round about H5439.
[19] And he shall sprinkle H5137 (8689) of the blood H1818 upon it with his finger H676 seven H7651 times H6471, and cleanse H2891 (8765) it, and hallow H6942 (8765) it from the uncleanness H2932 of the children H1121 of Israel H3478.
[20] And when he hath made an end H3615 (8765) of reconciling H3722 (8763) the holy H6944 [place], and the tabernacle H168 of the congregation H4150, and the altar H4196, he shall bring H7126 (8689) the live H2416 goat H8163:
[21] And Aaron H175 shall lay H5564 (8804) both H8147 his hands H3027 upon the head H7218 of the live H2416 goat H8163, and confess H3034 (8694) over him all the iniquities H5771 of the children H1121 of Israel H3478, and all their transgressions H6588 in all their sins H2403, putting H5414 (8804) them upon the head H7218 of the goat H8163, and shall send [him] away H7971 (8765) by the hand H3027 of a fit H6261 man H376 into the wilderness H4057:
[22] And the goat H8163 shall bear H5375 (8804) upon him all their iniquities H5771 unto a land H776 not inhabited H1509: and he shall let go H7971 (8765) the goat H8163 in the wilderness H4057.
[23] And Aaron H175 shall come H935 (8804) into the tabernacle H168 of the congregation H4150, and shall put off H6584 (8804) the linen H906 garments H899, which he put on H3847 (8804) when he went H935 (8800) into the holy H6944 [place], and shall leave H3240 (8689) them there:
[24] And he shall wash H7364 (8804) his flesh H1320 with water H4325 in the holy H6918 place H4725, and put on H3847 (8804) his garments H899, and come forth H3318 (8804), and offer H6213 (8804) his burnt offering H5930, and the burnt offering H5930 of the people H5971, and make an atonement H3722 (8765) for himself, and for the people H5971.
[25] And the fat H2459 of the sin offering H2403 shall he burn H6999 (8686) upon the altar H4196.
[26] And he that let go H7971 (8764) the goat H8163 for the scapegoat H5799 shall wash H3526 (8762) his clothes H899, and bathe H7364 (8804) his flesh H1320 in water H4325, and afterward H310 come H935 (8799) into the camp H4264.
[27] And the bullock H6499 [for] the sin offering H2403, and the goat H8163 [for] the sin offering H2403, whose blood H1818 was brought in H935 (8717) to make atonement H3722 (8763) in the holy H6944 [place], shall [one] carry forth H3318 (8686) without H2351 the camp H4264; and they shall burn H8313 (8804) in the fire H784 their skins H5785, and their flesh H1320, and their dung H6569.
[28] And he that burneth H8313 (8802) them shall wash H3526 (8762) his clothes H899, and bathe H7364 (8804) his flesh H1320 in water H4325, and afterward H310 he shall come H935 (8799) into the camp H4264.
[29] And [this] shall be a statute H2708 for ever H5769 unto you: [that] in the seventh H7637 month H2320, on the tenth H6218 [day] of the month H2320, ye shall afflict H6031 (8762) your souls H5315, and do H6213 (8799) no work H4399 at all, [whether it be] one of your own country H249, or a stranger H1616 that sojourneth H1481 (8802) among H8432 you:
[30] For on that day H3117 shall [the priest] make an atonement H3722 (8762) for you, to cleanse H2891 (8763) you, [that] ye may be clean H2891 (8799) from all your sins H2403 before H6440 the LORD H3068.
[31] It [shall be] a sabbath H7676 of rest H7677 unto you, and ye shall afflict H6031 (8765) your souls H5315, by a statute H2708 for ever H5769.
[32] And the priest H3548, whom he shall anoint H4886 (8799), and whom he shall consecrate H4390 (8762) H3027 to minister in the priest’s office H3547 (8763) in his father’s H1 stead, shall make the atonement H3722 (8765), and shall put on H3847 (8804) the linen H906 clothes H899, [even] the holy H6944 garments H899:
[33] And he shall make an atonement H3722 (8765) for the holy H6944 sanctuary H4720, and he shall make an atonement H3722 (8762) for the tabernacle H168 of the congregation H4150, and for the altar H4196, and he shall make an atonement H3722 (8762) for the priests H3548, and for all the people H5971 of the congregation H6951.
[34] And this shall be an everlasting H5769 statute H2708 unto you, to make an atonement H3722 (8763) for the children H1121 of Israel H3478 for all their sins H2403 once H259 a year H8141. And he did H6213 (8799) as the LORD H3068 commanded H6680 (8765) Moses H4872.

Young’s Literal Translation

Leviticus 16 (YLT)

[1] And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, after the death of the two sons of Aaron, in their drawing near before Jehovah, and they die;
[2] yea, Jehovah saith unto Moses, ‘Speak unto Aaron thy brother, and he cometh not in at all times unto the sanctuary within the vail, unto the front of the mercy-seat, which is upon the ark, and he dieth not, for in a cloud I am seen upon the mercy-seat.
[3] ‘With this doth Aaron come in unto the sanctuary; with a bullock, a son of the herd, for a sin-offering, and a ram for a burnt-offering;
[4] a holy linen coat he putteth on, and linen trousers are on his flesh, and with a linen girdle he girdeth himself, and with a linen mitre he wrappeth himself up; they are holy garments; and he hath bathed with water his flesh, and hath put them on.
[5] ‘And from the company of the sons of Israel he taketh two kids of the goats for a sin-offering, and one ram for a burnt-offering;
[6] and Aaron hath brought near the bullock of the sin-offering which is his own, and hath made atonement for himself, and for his house;
[7] and he hath taken the two goats, and hath caused them to stand before Jehovah, at the opening of the tent of meeting.
[8] ‘And Aaron hath given lots over the two goats, one lot for Jehovah, and one lot for a goat of departure;
[9] and Aaron hath brought near the goat on which the lot for Jehovah hath gone up, and hath made it a sin-offering.
[10] ‘And the goat on which the lot for a goat of departure hath gone up is caused to stand living before Jehovah to make atonement by it, to send it away for a goat of departure into the wilderness.
[11] ‘And Aaron hath brought near the bullock of the sin-offering which is his own, and hath made atonement for himself, and for his house, and hath slaughtered the bullock of the sin-offering which is his own,
[12] and hath taken the fulness of the censer of burning coals of fire from off the altar, from before Jehovah, and the fulness of his hands of thin spice-perfume, and hath brought it within the vail;
[13] and he hath put the perfume on the fire before Jehovah, and the cloud of the perfume hath covered the mercy-seat which is on the testimony, and he dieth not.
[14] ‘And he hath taken of the blood of the bullock, and hath sprinkled with his finger on the front of the mercy-seat eastward; even at the front of the mercy-seat he doth sprinkle seven times of the blood with his finger.
[15] ‘And he hath slaughtered the goat of the sin-offering which is the people’s, and hath brought in its blood unto the inside of the vail, and hath done with its blood as he hath done with the blood of the bullock, and hath sprinkled it on the mercy-seat, and at the front of the mercy-seat,
[16] and he hath made atonement for the sanctuary because of the uncleanness of the sons of Israel, and because of their transgressions in all their sins; and so he doth for the tent of meeting which is tabernacling with them in the midst of their uncleannesses.
[17] ‘And no man is in the tent of meeting in his going in to make atonement in the sanctuary, till his coming out; and he hath made atonement for himself, and for his house, and for all the assembly of Israel.
[18] ‘And he hath gone out unto the altar which is before Jehovah, and hath made atonement for it; and he hath taken of the blood of the bullock, and of the blood of the goat, and hath put on the horns of the altar round about;
[19] and he hath sprinkled on it of the blood with his finger seven times, and hath cleansed it, and hath hallowed it from the uncleannesses of the sons of Israel.
[20] ‘And he hath ceased from making atonement for the sanctuary, and the tent of meeting, and the altar, and hath brought near the living goat;
[21] and Aaron hath laid his two hands on the head of the living goat, and hath confessed over it all the iniquities of the sons of Israel, and all their transgressions in all their sins, and hath put them on the head of the goat, and hath sent it away by the hand of a fit man into the wilderness;
[22] and the goat hath borne on him all their iniquities unto a land of separation. ‘And he hath sent the goat away into the wilderness,
[23] and Aaron hath come in unto the tent of meeting, and hath stripped off the linen garments which he had put on in his going in unto the sanctuary, and hath placed them there;
[24] and he hath bathed his flesh with water in the holy place, and hath put on his garments, and hath come out, and hath made his burnt-offering, and the burnt-offering of the people, and hath made atonement for himself and for the people;
[25] and with the fat of the sin-offering he doth make perfume on the altar.
[26] ‘And he who is sending away the goat for a goat of departure doth wash his garments, and hath bathed his flesh with water, and afterwards he cometh in unto the camp.
[27] ‘And the bullock of the sin-offering, and the goat of the sin-offering, whose blood hath been brought in to make atonement in the sanctuary, doth one bring out unto the outside of the camp, and they have burnt with fire their skins, and their flesh, and their dung;
[28] and he who is burning them doth wash his garments, and hath bathed his flesh with water, and afterwards he cometh in unto the camp.
[29] ‘And it hath been to you for a statute age-during, in the seventh month, in the tenth of the month, ye humble yourselves, and do no work-the native, and the sojourner who is sojourning in your midst;
[30] for on this day he maketh atonement for you, to cleanse you; from all your sins before Jehovah ye are clean;
[31] it is to you a sabbath of rest, and ye have humbled yourselves-a statute age-during.
[32] ‘And the priest whom he doth anoint, and whose hand he doth consecrate to act as priest instead of his father, hath made atonement, and hath put on the linen garments, the holy garments;
[33] and he hath made atonement for the holy sanctuary; and for the tent of meeting, even for the altar he doth make atonement; yea, for the priests, and for all the people of the assembly he maketh atonement.
[34] ‘And this hath been to you for a statute age-during, to make atonement for the sons of Israel, because of all their sins, once in a year;’ and he doth as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.
