Leviticus 16:4-9 Common English Bible (CEB)

4. Aaron must dress in a holy linen tunic and wear linen undergarments on his body. He must tie a linen sash around himself and wrap a linen turban around his head. These are holy clothes—Aaron will first bathe his body in water and then put them on.

5. He will take from the Israelite community two male goats for a purification offering and one ram for an entirely burned offering.

6. Aaron will offer the bull as a purification offering to make reconciliation for himself and his household.

7. He will take the two male goats and place them before the Lord at the meeting tent’s entrance.

8. Aaron will cast lots over the two goats: one lot labeled "the Lord’s" and the other lot labeled "Azazel’s."

9. Aaron will present the goat selected by the Lord’s lot and perform a purification offering with it.
