Leviticus 16:25-34 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

25. He is to burn the fat of the sin offering on the altar.

26. The man who released the goat for azazel is to wash his clothes and bathe his body with water; afterward he may reenter the camp.

27. The bull for the sin offering and the goat for the sin offering, whose blood was brought into the most holy place to make atonement, must be brought outside the camp and their hide, flesh, and dung burned up.

28. The one who burns them is to wash his clothes and bathe himself with water; afterward he may reenter the camp.

29. “This is to be a permanent statute for you: In the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month you are to practice self-denial and do no work, both the native and the foreigner who resides among you.

30. Atonement will be made for you on this day to cleanse you, and you will be clean from all your sins before the Lord.

31. It is a Sabbath of complete rest for you, and you must practice self-denial; it is a permanent statute.

32. The priest who is anointed and ordained to serve as high priest in place of his father will make atonement. He will put on the linen garments, the holy garments,

33. and purify the most holy place. He will purify the tent of meeting and the altar and will make atonement for the priests and all the people of the assembly.

34. This is to be a permanent statute for you, to make atonement for the Israelites once a year because of all their sins.” And all this was done as the Lord commanded Moses.
