1-2. Two of Aaron's sons had already lost their lives for disobeying the Lord, so the Lord told Moses to say to Aaron:I, the Lord, appear in a cloud over the place of mercy on the sacred chest, which is behind the inside curtain of the sacred tent. And I warn you not to go there except at the proper time. Otherwise, you will die!
3. Before entering this most holy place, you must offer a bull as a sacrifice for your sins and a ram as a sacrifice to please me.
4. You will take a bath and put on the sacred linen clothes, including the underwear, the robe, the sash, and the turban.
5. Then the community of Israel will bring you a ram and two goats, both of them males. The goats are to be used as sacrifices for sin, and the ram is to be used as a sacrifice to please me.
