1. Then Yahweh spoke to Moses after the death of Aaron’s two sons, when they had come near before Yahweh and they died.
2. And Yahweh said to Moses, “Tell your brother Aaron that he should not enter at any time into the sanctuary behind the curtain in front of the atonement cover that is on the ark, so that he might not die, because I appear in the cloud over the atonement cover.
3. “Aaron must enter the sanctuary with this: a young bull as a sin offering and a ram as a burnt offering.
4. He must put on a holy linen tunic, and linen undergarments must be on his body, and he must fasten himself with a linen sash, and he must wrap a linen turban around his head—they are holy garments, and he shall wash his body with water, then he shall put them on.
5. And he must take from the Israelites’ community two he-goats as a sin offering and one ram as a burnt offering.
6. “And Aaron shall present the sin offering’s bull, which is for himself, and so he shall make atonement for himself and for his family.
7. And he shall take the two goats, and he shall present them before Yahweh at the tent of assembly’s entrance.
8. Then Aaron shall cast lots for the two goats: one lot for Yahweh and one for Azazel.
9. And Aaron shall present the goat on which the lot for Yahweh fell, and he shall sacrifice it as a sin offering.
10. But he must present alive before Yahweh the goat on which the lot for Azazel fell to make atonement for himself, to send it away into the desert to Azazel.
11. “And Aaron shall present the sin offering’s bull, which is for himself, and so he shall make atonement for himself and for his family; then he shall slaughter the sin offering’s bull, which is for himself.
12. And he shall take a censer full of burning charcoal from upon the altar from before Yahweh and two handfuls of incense of powdered fragrant perfumes, and he shall bring it from behind the curtain,
13. and he shall put the incense on the fire before Yahweh so that the cloud of incense might cover the atonement cover, which is on the covenant text, so that he might not die.
14. And he shall take some of the bull’s blood, and he shall spatter it with his finger on the atonement cover’s surface on the eastern side, and before the atonement cover he shall spatter some of the blood with his finger seven times.
