Leviticus 16:1-6 ▼

1 The LORD spoke to Moses after the death of Aaron's two sons when they had approached the LORD and died.

2 The LORD told Moses, |Remind your brother Aaron that at no time is he to enter the sacred place from the room that contains the curtain into the presence of the Mercy Seat on top of the ark. Otherwise, he'll die, because I will appear in a cloud at the Mercy Seat.

3 Aaron is to enter the sacred place with a young bull for a sin offering and a ram for a whole burnt offering.

4 He is to wear a sacred linen tunic and linen undergarments that will cover his genitals. He is to clothe himself with a sash and wrap his head with a linen turban. Because they are sacred garments, he is to wash himself with water before putting them on.|

5 |He is to take two male goats for a sin offering and one ram for a whole burnt offering from the assembly of the Israelis.

6 Then Aaron is to bring the bull as a sin offering for himself and make atonement for himself and his household.
