2 and the Lord said to Moses: "Tell Aaron your brother Ex. 30:10; Lev. 16:34; 23:27; (Heb. 6:19; 9:7, 8, 12; 10:19)not to come at just any time into the Holy Place inside the veil, before the mercy seat which is on the ark, lest he die; for Ex. 25:21, 22; 40:34; 1 Kin. 8:10–12I will appear in the cloud above the mercy seat.
12 Then he shall take Lev. 10:1; Num. 16:7, 18; Is. 6:6, 7; Rev. 8:5a censer full of burning coals of fire from the altar before the Lord, with his hands full of Ex. 30:34–38sweet incense beaten fine, and bring it inside the veil. 13 Ex. 30:7, 8; Num. 16:7, 18, 46And he shall put the incense on the fire before the Lord, that the cloud of incense may cover the Ex. 25:21mercy seat that is on the Testimony, lest he Ex. 28:43; Lev. 22:9; Num. 4:15, 20die. 14 Lev. 4:5; (Heb. 9:25; 10:4)He shall take some of the blood of the bull and Lev. 4:6, 17sprinkle it with his finger on the mercy seat on the east side; and before the mercy seat he shall sprinkle some of the blood with his finger seven times.
15 (Heb. 2:17)"Then he shall kill the goat of the sin offering, which is for the people, bring its blood (Heb. 6:19; 7:27; 9:3, 7, 12)inside the veil, do with that blood as he did with the blood of the bull, and sprinkle it on the mercy seat and before the mercy seat.
34 Lev. 23:31; Num. 29:7This shall be an everlasting statute for you, to make atonement for the children of Israel, for all their sins, Ex. 30:10; (Heb. 9:7, 25, 28)once a year." And he did as the Lord commanded Moses.
