Leviticus 16:25-34 New English Translation (NET)

25. “Then he is to offer up the fat of the sin offering in smoke on the altar,

26. and the one who sent the goat away to Azazel must wash his clothes, bathe his body in water, and afterward he may reenter the camp.

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

28. and the one who burns them must wash his clothes and bathe his body in water, and afterward he may reenter the camp.

29. “This is to be a perpetual statute for you. In the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, you must humble yourselves and do no work of any kind, both the native citizen and the foreigner who resides in your midst,

30. for on this day atonement is to be made for you to cleanse you from all your sins; you must be clean before the Lord.

31. It is to be a Sabbath of complete rest for you, and you must humble yourselves. It is a perpetual statute.

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

33. and he is to purify the Most Holy Place, he is to purify the Meeting Tent and the altar, and he is to make atonement for the priests and for all the people of the assembly.

34. This is to be a perpetual statute for you to make atonement for the Israelites for all their sins once a year.” So he did just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
