Leviticus 16:27-34 Common English Bible (CEB)

27. The bull and the goat for the purification offerings, whose blood was brought in to make reconciliation in the inner holy area, will be taken outside the camp. Their hides, flesh, and dung will be burned with fire.

28. The person who burns them must wash their clothes and bathe their body in water; after that, they can return to the camp.

29. This will be a permanent rule for you: On the tenth day of the seventh month, you must deny yourselves. You must not do any work—neither the citizen nor the immigrant who lives among you.

30. On that day reconciliation will be made for you in order to cleanse you. You will be clean before the Lord from all your sins.

31. It will be a Sabbath of special rest for you, and you will deny yourselves. This is a permanent rule.

32. The priest who is anointed and ordained to serve as priest after his father will perform the reconciliation, wearing the holy linen clothes.

33. He will reconcile the holiest part of the sanctuary and will do the same for the meeting tent and the altar. He will make reconciliation for the priests and for all the people of the assembly.

34. This will be a permanent rule for you, in order to make reconciliation for the Israelites from all their sins once a year.It was done just as the Lord commanded Moses.
