Leviticus 16:8-26

[8] And Aaron  shall cast  lots  upon the two  goats;  one  lot  for the LORD,  and the other  lot  for the scapegoat.  [9] And Aaron  shall bring  the goat  upon which the LORD'S  lot  fell,  and offer  him for a sin offering.  [10] 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.  [11] 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: [12] And he shall take  a censer  full  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:  [13] 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  [14] 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.  [15] 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:  [16] 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.  [17] 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.  [18] And he shall go out  unto the altar  that is before  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.  [19] 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.  [20] 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:  [21] 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:  [22] 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.  [23] And Aaron  shall come  into the tabernacle  of the congregation,  and shall put off  the linen  garments,  which he put on  when he went  into the holy  place, and shall leave  [24] And he shall wash  his flesh  with water  in the holy  place,  and put on  his garments,  and come forth,  and offer  his burnt offering,  of the people,  and make an atonement  for himself, and for the people.  [25] And the fat  of the sin offering  shall he burn  upon the altar.  [26] And he that let go  the goat  for the scapegoat  shall wash  his clothes,  and bathe  his flesh  in water,  and afterward  come  into the camp.
