Leviticus 16:29-34 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

29. “This law will always continue for you: On the tenth day of the seventh month, you must not eat. You must not do any work. The travelers or foreigners living with you must not work either.

30. On this day the priests make you clean so you will belong to the Lord again. All your sins will be removed.

31. This is a very important day of rest for you. And you must not eat. This law will continue forever.

32. “So the appointed priest will perform the acts for making things ready for service to the Lord. He is the priest on whom oil was poured. He is appointed to take his father’s place. That priest must put on the holy linen clothes.

33. He must make the Most Holy Place ready for service to the Lord. He must make the Meeting Tent and the altar ready for service to the Lord. He must remove the sins of himself and all the people of Israel so they will belong to the Lord.

34. That law for removing the sins of the Israelites so they will belong to the Lord will continue forever. You will do these things once a year.”So they did the things the Lord had commanded Moses.
