The Holy Place of the Lord - Leviticus 16

And the LORD spake unto Moses after the death  of the two sons of Aaron, when they offered before the  LORD, and died; Leviticus 16:1 KJV

Leviticus 16:2 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. 

Leviticus 16:3 Thus shall Aaron  come into the holy place: with a young bullock for a sin  offering, and a ram for a burnt offering. 

Leviticus 16:4 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. 

Leviticus 16:5 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. 

Leviticus 16:6  And Aaron shall offer his bullock of the sin offering, which  is for himself, and make an atonement for himself, and for  his house. 

Leviticus 16:7 And he shall take the two goats, and  present them before the LORD at the door of the  tabernacle of the congregation. 

Leviticus 16:8 And Aaron shall cast  lots upon the two goats; one lot for the LORD, and the other  lot for the scapegoat. 

Leviticus 16:9 And Aaron shall bring the goat  upon which the LORD’S lot fell, and offer him for a sin  offering. 

Leviticus 16:10 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. 

Leviticus 16:11 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: 

Leviticus 16:12 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: 

Leviticus 16:13 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  not: 

Leviticus 16:14 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.  

Leviticus 16:15 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: 

Leviticus 16:16 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.   

Leviticus 16:17 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. 

Leviticus 16:18 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. 

Leviticus 16:19 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.  

Leviticus 16:20 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: 

Leviticus 16:21 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: 

Leviticus 16:22 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.  

Leviticus 16:23 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  them there: 

Leviticus 16:24 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, and the burnt offering of the  people, and make an atonement for himself, and for the  people. 

Leviticus 16:25 And the fat of the sin offering shall he burn  upon the altar. 

Leviticus 16:26 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. 

Leviticus 16:27 And the  bullock for the sin offering, and the goat for the sin  offering, whose blood was brought in to make atonement in  the holy place, shall one carry forth without the camp;  and they shall burn in the fire their skins, and their flesh,  and their dung. 

Leviticus 16:28 And he that burneth them shall  wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward  he shall come into the camp.  

Leviticus 16:29 And this shall be a statute for ever unto you:  that in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month,  ye shall afflict your souls, and do no work at all, whether it  be one of your own country, or a stranger that sojourneth  among you: 

Leviticus 16:30 For on that day shall the priest make  an atonement for you, to cleanse you, that ye may be clean  from all your sins before the LORD. 

Leviticus 16:31 It shall be a  sabbath of rest unto you, and ye shall afflict your souls, by a  statute for ever. 

Leviticus 16:32 And the priest, whom he shall  anoint, and whom he shall consecrate to minister in the  priest’s office in his father’s stead, shall make the  atonement, and shall put on the linen clothes, even the  holy garments: 

Leviticus 16:33 And he shall make an atonement for  the holy sanctuary, and he shall make an atonement for the  tabernacle of the congregation, and for the altar, and he  shall make an atonement for the priests, and for all the  people of the congregation. 

Leviticus 16:34 And this shall be an  everlasting statute unto you, to make an atonement for the  children of Israel for all their sins once a year. And he did as  the LORD commanded Moses.
