1 Yahweh spoke to Moses after the death of the two sons of Aaron, when they came near before Yahweh, and died; 2 and Yahweh said to Moses, "Tell Aaron your brother not to come at just any time into the Most Holy Place within the veil, before the mercy seat which is on the ark; lest he die; for I will appear in the cloud on the mercy seat.

3 "Aaron shall come into the sanctuary with a young bull for a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering. 4 He shall put on the holy linen tunic. He shall have the linen trousers on his body, and shall put on the linen sash, and he shall be clothed with the linen turban. They are the holy garments. He shall bathe his body in water, and put them on. 5 He shall take from the congregation of the children of Israel two male goats for a sin offering, and one ram for a burnt offering.

6 "Aaron shall offer the bull of the sin offering, which is for himself, and make atonement for himself and for his house. 7 He shall take the two goats, and set them before Yahweh at the door of the Tent of Meeting. 8 Aaron shall cast lots for the two goats: one lot for Yahweh, and the other lot for the scapegoat. 9 Aaron shall present the goat on which the lot fell for Yahweh, and offer him for a sin offering. 10 But the goat on which the lot fell for the scapegoat shall be presented alive before Yahweh, to make atonement for him, to send him away as the scapegoat into the wilderness.

11 "Aaron shall present the bull of the sin offering, which is for himself, and shall make atonement for himself and for his house, and shall kill the bull of the sin offering which is for himself. 12 He shall take a censer full of coals of fire from off the altar before Yahweh, and two handfuls of sweet incense beaten small, and bring it within the veil. 13 He shall put the incense on the fire before Yahweh, that the cloud of the incense may cover the mercy seat that is on the covenant, so that he will not die. 14 He shall take some of the blood of the bull, and sprinkle it with his finger on the mercy seat on the east; and before the mercy seat he shall sprinkle some of the blood with his finger seven times.

15 "Then he shall kill the goat of the sin offering that is for the people, and bring his blood within the veil, and do with his blood as he did with the blood of the bull, and sprinkle it on the mercy seat and before the mercy seat. 16 He shall make atonement for the Holy Place, because of the uncleanness of the children of Israel, and because of their transgressions, even all their sins; and so he shall do for the Tent of Meeting that dwells with them in the middle of their uncleanness. 17 No one shall be in the Tent of Meeting when he enters to make atonement in the Holy Place, until he comes out, and has made atonement for himself and for his household, and for all the assembly of Israel.

18 "He shall go out to the altar that is before Yahweh and make atonement for it, and shall take some of the bull’s blood, and some of the goat’s blood, and put it around on the horns of the altar. 19 He shall sprinkle some of the blood on it with his finger seven times, and cleanse it, and make it holy from the uncleanness of the children of Israel.

20 "When he has finished atoning for the Holy Place, the Tent of Meeting, and the altar, he shall present the live goat. 21 Aaron shall lay both his hands on the head of the live goat, and confess over him all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions, even all their sins; and he shall put them on the head of the goat, and shall send him away into the wilderness by the hand of a man who is ready. 22 The goat shall carry all their iniquities on himself to a solitary land, and he shall release the goat in the wilderness.

23 "Aaron shall come into the Tent of Meeting, and shall take off the linen garments which he put on when he went into the Holy Place, and shall leave them there. 24 Then he shall bathe himself in water in a holy place, put on his garments, and come out and offer his burnt offering and the burnt offering of the people, and make atonement for himself and for the people. 25 The fat of the sin offering he shall burn on the altar.

26 "He who lets the goat go as the scapegoat shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp. 27 The bull for the sin offering, and the goat for the sin offering, whose blood was brought in to make atonement in the Holy Place, shall be carried outside the camp; and they shall burn their skins, their flesh, and their dung with fire. 28 He who burns them shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp.

29 "It shall be a statute to you forever: in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, you shall afflict your souls, and shall do no kind of work, whether native-born or a stranger who lives as a foreigner among you; 30 for on this day shall atonement be made for you, to cleanse you. You shall be clean from all your sins before Yahweh. 31 It is a Sabbath of solemn rest to you, and you shall afflict your souls. It is a statute forever. 32 The priest, who is anointed and who is consecrated to be priest in his father’s place, shall make the atonement, and shall put on the linen garments, even the holy garments. 33 Then he shall make atonement for the Holy Sanctuary; and he shall make atonement for the Tent of Meeting and for the altar; and he shall make atonement for the priests and for all the people of the assembly.

34 "This shall be an everlasting statute for you, to make atonement for the children of Israel once in the year because of all their sins."

It was done as Yahweh commanded Moses.

1 亚伦的两个儿子走近耶和华面前而死亡以后, 耶和华对摩西说:

2 "你要告诉你的哥哥亚伦, 不可随时进入圣所的幔子里面, 到约柜上的施恩座, 免得他死亡, 因为我在施恩座上的彩云中显现。

3 亚伦进入圣所时要带一头公牛犊作赎罪祭, 一只公绵羊作燔祭。

4 他要穿上细麻布的圣内袍, 也要把细麻布的裤子穿在身上, 腰束细麻布的带子, 头戴细麻布礼冠; 这些就是圣衣。他要先用水洗身, 然后才穿上圣衣。

5 他要从以色列的会众中, 取两只公山羊作赎罪祭, 一只公绵羊作燔祭。

6 亚伦为自己的罪献上作赎罪祭的公牛, 为自己和家人赎罪,

7 然后把两只公山羊牵来, 放在会幕门口, 耶和华的面前;

8 亚伦要为这两只山羊抽签: 一签归耶和华, 另一签归阿撒泻勒("阿撒泻勒"是希伯来文音译, 这字原意不能确定)。

9 亚伦要把那抽签归耶和华的山羊, 献作赎罪祭。

10 至于那抽签归阿撒泻勒的山羊, 却要活活地摆在耶和华面前, 用来赎罪, 然后叫人把它送到旷野, 归阿撒泻勒。

11 "亚伦要先为自己献上作赎罪祭的公牛, 为自己和家人赎罪, 他要把那为自己作赎罪祭的公牛宰杀。

12 从耶和华面前的祭坛上, 拿一个盛满火炭的香炉, 又拿一捧捣细的芬芳香料, 带进幔子里,

13 在耶和华面前把香放在火上, 使香的烟云遮掩约柜上的施恩座, 免得他死亡。

14 他要取些公牛的血, 用指头弹在施恩座的东面, 再用指头在施恩座的前面, 弹血七次。

15 "然后他要宰杀那为人民作赎罪祭的公山羊, 把血带进幔子里, 弹羊血在施恩座的上面和施恩座的前面, 好像弹公牛的血一样。

16 他要为圣所赎罪, 使圣所脱离以色列人的不洁和他们的过犯, 就是他们的一切罪孽。然后他又要为会幕同样的赎罪。因为会幕和他们在一起, 在他们的不洁中间。

17 他进入至圣所赎罪的时候, 会幕里不可有人; 直到他为自己和家人, 以及以色列全体会众, 赎了罪出来为止。

18 他出来, 就到耶和华面前的祭坛那里, 为坛赎罪。他要取一点公牛的血和山羊的血, 抹祭坛的四角。

19 又用指头向祭坛弹血七次, 洁净祭坛, 使它分别为圣, 脱离以色列人的不洁。

20 "亚伦为圣所、会幕和祭坛赎了罪以后, 就要把那只活山羊献上。

21 亚伦两手按在那只活山羊头上, 承认以色列人的一切罪孽和他们的过犯, 就是他们一切罪孽。把它们都归在那山羊的头上; 然后经由已预定的人, 把羊送到旷野里去。

22 那只山羊就担当他们的一切罪孽, 把它们带到一个完全隔离的地; 所以那人要把那只山羊送到旷野里去。

23 "亚伦要进会幕, 把他进圣所时所穿的细麻布衣服脱下, 放在那里。

24 然后在圣洁的地方用水洗身, 穿回自己的衣服出来, 把自己的燔祭和众民的燔祭献上, 为自己和众民赎罪。

25 赎罪祭牲的脂肪, 他要焚烧在祭坛上。

26 那送走归阿撒泻勒的山羊的人, 要洗净自己的衣服, 用水洗身, 然后才可以进到营里。

27 那作赎罪祭的公牛和作赎罪祭的公山羊, 它们的血既然被带进去为圣所赎罪, 它们的身体就要搬出营外去; 它们的皮、肉和粪都要用火烧掉。

28 那烧祭牲的人要洗净自己的衣服, 用水洗身, 然后才可以进营。

29 "每逢七月十日, 你们要刻苦己心, 无论是本地人, 或是寄居在你们中间的外人, 什么的工, 你们都不可作, 这要作你们永远的律例。

30 因为在这一天, 他要为你们赎罪, 使你们洁净, 脱离你们一切罪孽, 使你们在耶和华面前成为洁净。

31 这是完全休歇的安息, 你们要刻苦己心。这是永远的律例。

32 那被膏立, 承受圣职, 接替他父亲作祭司的, 要穿上细麻布衣服, 就是圣洁的衣服, 进行赎罪。

33 他要为至圣所赎罪, 又为会幕和祭坛赎罪, 以及为祭司们和全体会众赎罪。

34 每年一次, 要因以色列人一切的罪, 为他们赎罪。这是你们永远的律例。"于是亚伦照着耶和华吩咐摩西的去行。
