The Day of Covering

The Lord spoke to Moses after the death of Aaron's two sons, who died when they came before the Lord. The Lord said to Moses, 'Tell your brother Aaron not to come whenever he likes into the holy place inside the veil, before the cover on the ark, or he will die. I will appear in the cloud over the ark's cover.' 'This is how Aaron is to enter the holy place: with a young young bull for a sin offering and a ram for a burnt offering.' He will put on the holy linen coat, and he will have the linen trousers on his body, and be strapped with a linen sash, and be dressed with the linen turban. These are holy garments. So he will wash his flesh in water and put them on. He will take two male goats for a sin offering from the community of the Israelites, and one ram for a burnt offering. 'Aaron must offer the young bull as a sin offering for himself, making atonement for himself and his household.' He will take the two goats and set them before the Lord at the door of the tent of meeting. 'Aaron will cast lots for the two goats: one lot for the Lord and the other for the scapegoat.' Aaron will bring the goat the Lord's lot fell on, and offer it for a sin offering. 'The goat chosen as the scapegoat must be presented alive before the Lord, to make atonement with it, and then be sent away into the wilderness.' Aaron will bring the bull of the sin offering that's for himself, and make atonement for himself and for his household, and kill the bull of the sin offering that's for himself. He will take a censer full of burning coals of fire from off the altar before the Lord, and his hands full of sweet incense beaten small, and bring it inside the curtain. He will put the incense on the fire before the Lord, so the cloud of the incense covers the ark's cover that's over the testimony, so he doesn't die. He will take some of the blood of the bull and sprinkle it with his finger on the ark's cover eastward. And he will sprinkle some of the blood with his finger seven times before the ark's cover. Then he will kill the goat of the sin offering that's for the people, and bring its blood inside the curtain, and do with that blood what he did with the blood of the bull, and sprinkle it on the ark's cover and before the ark's cover. He will make atonement the sanctuary because of the impurity of the Israelites and because of their stepping over the line in all their sins. And that's what he will do for the tent of meeting that stays among them in the middle of their impurity. And there'll be nobody in the tent of meeting when he goes in to make atonement in the sanctuary, till he comes out and has covered over for himself and for his household and for the whole gathering of Israel. He will go out to the altar that's before the Lord and make atonement for it. And he will take some of the blood of the bull and some of the blood of the goat and put it on the horns of the altar all round. He will sprinkle some of the blood on it with his finger seven times, and clean it and make it holy from the impurity of the Israelites. When he's finished atonement the sanctuary and the tent of meeting and the altar, he will bring the live goat. Aaron will lay both his hands on the head of the live goat and own over it all the wrongdoing of the Israelites and all their stepping over the line in all their sins, putting them on the head of the goat. And he will send it away into the wilderness by the hand of a man who's ready. The goat will carry all their wrongdoing on it to a land cut off. And he will let the goat go in the wilderness.

And the Lord spoke to Moses after the death of Aaron's two sons, when they offered in front of the Lord and died. And the Lord said to Moses: Tell Aaron your brother not to come at any time into the holy place inside the curtain, in front of the covering that's on the ark, so he doesn't die. Because I'll show myself in the cloud over the covering. Aaron will come into the holy place like this: with a young bull for a sin offering and a ram for a burnt offering. He'll put on the holy linen coat, and he'll have the linen trousers on his body, and be strapped with a linen sash, and be dressed with the linen turban. These are holy clothes. So he'll wash his flesh in water and put them on. And he'll take two male goats for a sin offering from the gathering of the people of Israel, and one ram for a burnt offering. And Aaron will offer his bull of the sin offering that's for himself, and cover over for himself and for his household. And he'll take the two goats and set them in front of the Lord at the door of the tent of meeting. And Aaron will cast lots on the two goats — one lot for the Lord and the other lot for the scapegoat. And Aaron will bring the goat the Lord's lot fell on, and offer it for a sin offering. But the goat the lot fell on for the scapegoat will be set alive in front of the Lord, to cover over with it and to let it go for a scapegoat into the wilderness. And Aaron will bring the bull of the sin offering that's for himself, and cover over for himself and for his household, and kill the bull of the sin offering that's for himself. And he'll take a censer full of burning coals of fire from off the altar in front of the Lord, and his hands full of sweet incense beaten small, and bring it inside the curtain. And he'll put the incense on the fire in front of the Lord, so the cloud of the incense covers the covering that's over the testimony, so he doesn't die. And he'll take some of the blood of the bull and sprinkle it with his finger on the covering eastward. And he'll sprinkle some of the blood with his finger seven times in front of the covering. Then he'll kill the goat of the sin offering that's for the people, and bring its blood inside the curtain, and do with that blood what he did with the blood of the bull, and sprinkle it on the covering and in front of the covering. And he'll cover over the holy place because of the uncleanness of the people of Israel and because of their stepping over the line in all their sins. And that's what he'll do for the tent of meeting that stays among them in the middle of their uncleanness. And there'll be nobody in the tent of meeting when he goes in to cover over in the holy place, till he comes out and has covered over for himself and for his household and for the whole gathering of Israel. And he'll go out to the altar that's in front of the Lord and cover it over. And he'll take some of the blood of the bull and some of the blood of the goat and put it on the horns of the altar all round. And he'll sprinkle some of the blood on it with his finger seven times, and clean it and make it holy from the uncleanness of the people of Israel. And when he's finished covering over the holy place and the tent of meeting and the altar, he'll bring the live goat. And Aaron will lay both his hands on the head of the live goat and own over it all the wrongdoing of the people of Israel and all their stepping over the line in all their sins, putting them on the head of the goat. And he'll send it away into the wilderness by the hand of a man who's ready. And the goat will carry all their wrongdoing on it to a land cut off. And he'll let the goat go in the wilderness.

And the LORD spake unto Moses after the death of the two sons of Aaron, when they offered before the LORD, and died; And the LORD said unto Moses, Speak unto Aaron thy brother, that he come not at all times into the holy place within the vail before the mercy seat, which is upon the ark; that he die not: for I will appear in the cloud upon the mercy seat. Thus shall Aaron come into the holy place: with a young bullock for a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering. 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. 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. And Aaron shall offer his bullock of the sin offering, which is for himself, and make an atonement for himself, and for his house. And he shall take the two goats, and present them before the LORD at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. And Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats; one lot for the LORD, and the other lot for the scapegoat. And Aaron shall bring the goat upon which the LORD’s lot fell, and offer him for a sin offering. But the goat, on which the lot fell to be the scapegoat, shall be presented alive before the LORD, to make an atonement with him, and to let him go for a scapegoat into the wilderness. And Aaron shall bring the bullock of the sin offering, which is for himself, and shall make an atonement for himself, and for his house, and shall kill the bullock of the sin offering which is for himself: And he shall take a censer full of burning coals of fire from off the altar before the LORD, and his hands full of sweet incense beaten small, and bring it within the vail: And he shall put the incense upon the fire before the LORD, that the cloud of the incense may cover the mercy seat that is upon the testimony, that he die not: And he shall take of the blood of the bullock, 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. Then shall he kill the goat of the sin offering, that is for the people, and bring his blood within the vail, and do with that blood as he did with the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it upon the mercy seat, and before the mercy seat: 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 remaineth among them in the midst of their uncleanness. And there shall be no man in the tabernacle of the congregation when he goeth in to make an atonement in the holy place, until he come out, and have made an atonement for himself, and for his household, and for all the congregation of Israel. And he shall go out unto the altar that is before the LORD, and make an atonement for it; and shall take of the blood of the bullock, and of the blood of the goat, and put it upon the horns of the altar round about. 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. And when he hath made an end of reconciling the holy place, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and the altar, he shall bring the live goat: 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 wilderness: And the goat shall bear upon him all their iniquities unto a land not inhabited: and he shall let go the goat in the wilderness.
