Leviticus 16:1-10 ▼

1 And the Lorde spake vnto Moyses after the death of ye two sonnes of Aaron, when they offered before ye Lorde, and dyed.

2 And the Lorde sayde vnto Moyses: Speake vnto Aaron thy brother, that he come not at all tymes into the holy place within the vayle, before the mercie seate which is vpon the arke, that he dye not: For I wyll appeare in the cloude vpon ye mercie seate.

3 But with this thyng shal Aaron come into the holy place: euen with a young bullocke for a sinne offeryng, and with a ramme for a burnt offeryng.

4 He shall put the holy lynnen coate vpon hym, and shall haue lynnen breeches vpon his fleshe, and shalbe girded with a lynnen girdle, and with a lynnen cap shall he be attired. These are holy garmentes: therfore shall he washe his fleshe in water when he doth put them on.

5 And he shall take of the congregation of the childre of Israel, two hee goates for a sinne offeryng, and a ramme for a burnt offeryng.

6 And Aaron shall offer his bullocke for his sinne offering, and make an attonement for hym and for his house.

7 And he shall take the two hee goates, and present them before the Lorde at the doore of the tabernacle of the congregation.

8 And Aaron shall cast lottes ouer the two goates: one lot shalbe for the Lord, and the other for the scape goate.

9 And Aaron shall bryng the goate vpon which the Lordes lot fell, and offer hym for a sinne offeryng.

10 But the goate on which the lot fell to be the scape goate, shalbe set aliue before the Lorde to reconcile with, and to let hym go as a scape goate into the wildernesse.
