1 And the Lord said to Moses, after the death of the two sons of Aaron when they took in strange fire before the Lord and death overtook them;2 The Lord said to Moses, Say to Aaron, your brother, that he may not come at all times into the holy place inside the veil, before the cover which is on the ark, for fear that death may overtake him; for I will be seen in the cloud on the cover of the ark.3 Let Aaron come into the holy place in this way: with an ox for a sin-offering and a male sheep for a burned offering.4 Let him put on the holy linen coat, and the linen trousers on his body, and the linen band round him, and the linen head-dress on his head; for this is holy clothing, and before he puts them on his body is to be washed with water.5 And let him take from the children of Israel two he-goats for a sin-offering and one male sheep for a burned offering.6 And Aaron is to give the ox of the sin-offering for himself, to make himself and his house free from sin.7 And he is to take the two goats and put them before the Lord at the door of the Tent of meeting.8 And Aaron will make selection from the two goats by the decision of the Lord, one goat for the Lord and one for Azazel.9 And the goat which is marked out for the Lord, let Aaron give for a sin-offering.10 But the goat for Azazel is to be placed living before the Lord, for the taking away of sin, that it may be sent away for Azazel into the waste land.11 And Aaron is to give the ox of the sin-offering for himself and take away sin from himself and his house, and put to death the ox of the sin-offering which is for himself.12 And he is to take a vessel full of burning coal from the altar before the Lord and in his hand some sweet perfume crushed small, and take it inside the veil;13 And let him put the perfume on the fire before the Lord so that the ark may be covered with a cloud of the smoke of the perfume, in order that death may not overtake him.14 And let him take some of the blood of the ox, shaking drops of it from his finger on the cover of the ark on the east side, and before it, seven times.15 Then let him put to death the goat of the sin-offering for the people, and take its blood inside the veil and do with it as he did with the blood of the ox, shaking drops of it on and before the cover of the ark.16 And let him make the holy place free from whatever is unclean among the children of Israel and from their wrongdoing in all their sins; and let him do the same for the Tent of meeting, which has its place among an unclean people.17 And no man may be in the Tent of meeting from the time when Aaron goes in to take away sin in the holy place till he comes out, having made himself and his house and all the people of Israel free from sin.18 And he is to go out to the altar which is before the Lord and make it free from sin; and he is to take some of the blood of the ox and the blood of the goat and put it on the horns of the altar and round it;19 Shaking drops of the blood from his finger on it seven times to make it holy and clean from whatever is unclean among the children of Israel.20 And when he has done whatever is necessary to make the holy place and the Tent of meeting and the altar free from sin, let him put the living goat before the Lord;21 And Aaron, placing his two hands on the head of the living goat, will make a public statement over him of all the evil doings of the children of Israel and all their wrongdoing, in all their sins; and he will put them on the head of the goat and send him away, in the care of a man who will be waiting there, into the waste land.22 And the goat will take all their sins into a land cut off from men, and he will send the goat away into the waste land.23 Then let Aaron come into the Tent of meeting and take off the linen clothing which he put on when he went into the holy place, and put them down there;24 And after bathing his body in water in a holy place, he is to put on his clothing and come out and give his burned offering and the burned offering of the people, to take away his sin and the sin of the people.25 And the fat of the sin-offering is to be burned by him on the altar.26 And the man who takes away the goat for Azazel is to have his clothing washed and his body bathed in water and then he may come back to the tent-circle.27 And the ox of the sin-offering and the goat of the sin-offering, whose blood was taken in to make the holy place free from sin, are to be taken away outside the tent-circle and their skins and their flesh and their waste are to be burned with fire.28 And the man by whom they are burned is to have his clothing washed and his body bathed in water, and then he may come back to the tent-circle.29 And let this be an order to you for ever: in the seventh month, on the tenth day, you are to keep yourselves from pleasure and do no sort of work, those who are Israelites by birth and those from other lands who are living among you:30 For on this day your sin will be taken away and you will be clean: you will be made free from all your sins before the Lord.31 It is a special Sabbath for you, and you are to keep yourselves from pleasure; it is an order for ever.32 And the man on whose head the holy oil has been put, and who has been marked out to be a priest in his father's place, will do what is necessary to take away sin, and will put on the linen clothing, even the holy robes:33 And he will make the holy place and the Tent of meeting and the altar free from sin; he will take away sin from the priests and from all the people.34 And let this be an order for ever for you, so that the sin of the children of Israel may be taken away once every year. And he did as the Lord gave orders to Moses.

1 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen post mortem duorum filiorum Aaron, quando offerentes ignem alienum interfecti sunt : 2 et prcepit ei, dicens : Loquere ad Aaron fratrem tuum, ne omni tempore ingrediatur sanctuarium, quod est intra velum coram propitiatorio quo tegitur arca, ut non moriatur (quia in nube apparebo super oraculum), 3 nisi hc ante fecerit : vitulum pro peccato offeret, et arietem in holocaustum. 4 Tunica linea vestietur, feminalibus lineis verenda celabit : accingetur zona linea, cidarim lineam imponet capiti : hc enim vestimenta sunt sancta : quibus cunctis, cum lotus fuerit, induetur. 5 Suscipietque ab universa multitudine filiorum Isral duos hircos pro peccato, et unum arietem in holocaustum. 6 Cumque obtulerit vitulum, et oraverit pro se et pro domo sua, 7 duos hircos stare faciet coram Domino in ostio tabernaculi testimonii : 8 mittensque super utrumque sortem, unam Domino, alteram capro emissario : 9 cujus exierit sors Domino, offeret illum pro peccato : 10 cujus autem in caprum emissarium, statuet eum vivum coram Domino, ut fundat preces super eo, et emittat eum in solitudinem.11 His rite celebratis, offeret vitulum, et rogans pro se, et pro domo sua, immolabit eum : 12 assumptoque thuribulo, quod de prunis altaris impleverit, et hauriens manu compositum thymiama in incensum, ultra velum intrabit in sancta : 13 ut, positis super ignem aromatibus, nebula eorum et vapor operiat oraculum quod est supra testimonium, et non moriatur. 14 Tollet quoque de sanguine vituli, et asperget digito septies contra propitiatorium ad orientem.15 Cumque mactaverit hircum pro peccato populi, inferet sanguinem ejus intra velum, sicut prceptum est de sanguine vituli, ut aspergat e regione oraculi, 16 et expiet sanctuarium ab immunditiis filiorum Isral, et a prvaricationibus eorum, cunctisque peccatis. Juxta hunc ritum faciet tabernaculo testimonii, quod fixum est inter eos, in medio sordium habitationis eorum. 17 Nullus hominum sit in tabernaculo, quando pontifex sanctuarium ingreditur, ut roget pro se, et pro domo sua, et pro universo ctu Isral, donec egrediatur. 18 Cum autem exierit ad altare quod coram Domino est, oret pro se, et sumptum sanguinem vituli atque hirci fundat super cornua ejus per gyrum : 19 aspergensque digito septies, expiet, et sanctificet illud ab immunditiis filiorum Isral.20 Postquam emundaverit sanctuarium, et tabernaculum, et altare, tunc offerat hircum viventem : 21 et posita utraque manu super caput ejus, confiteatur omnes iniquitates filiorum Isral, et universa delicta atque peccata eorum : qu imprecans capiti ejus, emittet illum per hominem paratum, in desertum. 22 Cumque portaverit hircus omnes iniquitates eorum in terram solitariam, et dimissus fuerit in deserto, 23 revertetur Aaron in tabernaculum testimonii, et depositis vestibus, quibus prius indutus erat, cum intraret sanctuarium, relictisque ibi, 24 lavabit carnem suam in loco sancto, indueturque vestibus suis. Et postquam egressus obtulerit holocaustum suum, ac plebis, rogabit tam pro se quam pro populo : 25 et adipem, qui oblatus est pro peccatis, adolebit super altare. 26 Ille vero, qui dimiserit caprum emissarium, lavabit vestimenta sua, et corpus aqua, et sic ingredietur in castra. 27 Vitulum autem, et hircum, qui pro peccato fuerant immolati, et quorum sanguis illatus est in sanctuarium, ut expiatio compleretur, asportabunt foras castra, et comburent igni tam pelles quam carnes eorum, ac fimum : 28 et quicumque combusserit ea, lavabit vestimenta sua et carnem aqua, et sic ingredietur in castra.29 Eritque vobis hoc legitimum sempiternum : mense septimo, decima die mensis, affligetis animas vestras, nullumque opus facietis, sive indigena, sive advena qui peregrinatur inter vos. 30 In hac die expiatio erit vestri, atque mundatio ab omnibus peccatis vestris : coram Domino mundabimini. 31 Sabbatum enim requietionis est, et affligetis animas vestras religione perpetua. 32 Expiabit autem sacerdos, qui unctus fuerit, et cujus manus initiat sunt ut sacerdotio fungatur pro patre suo : indueturque stola linea et vestibus sanctis, 33 et expiabit sanctuarium et tabernaculum testimonii atque altare, sacerdotes quoque et universum populum. 34 Eritque vobis hoc legitimum sempiternum, ut oretis pro filiis Isral, et pro cunctis peccatis eorum semel in anno. Fecit igitur sicut prceperat Dominus Moysi.
