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.
6. Aaron, you must offer the bull as a sacrifice of forgiveness for your own sins and for the sins of your family.
7. Then you will lead the two goats into my presence at the front of the sacred tent,
8. where I will show you which goat will be sacrificed to me and which one will be sent into the desert to the demon Azazel.
9. After you offer the first goat as a sacrifice for sin,
10. the other one must be presented to me alive, before you send it into the desert to take away the sins of the people.
11. You must offer the bull as a sacrifice to ask forgiveness for your own sins and for the sins of your family.
12. Then you will take a fire pan of live coals from the bronze altar, together with two handfuls of finely ground incense, into the most holy place.
13. There you will present them to me by placing the incense on the coals, so that the place of mercy will be covered with a cloud of smoke. Do this, or you will die there!
14. Next, use a finger to sprinkle some of the blood on the place of mercy, which is on the lid of the sacred chest; then sprinkle blood seven times in front of the chest.
15. Aaron, you must next sacrifice the goat for the sins of the people, and you must sprinkle its blood inside the most holy place, just as you did with the blood of the bull.
16. By doing this, you will take away the sins that make both the most holy place and the people of Israel unclean. Do the same for the sacred tent, which is here among the people.
