The Day for Making Peace with the Lord
16 The Lord spoke to Moses after Aaron’s two sons had come into the Lord’s presence and died. 2 The Lord said, “Tell your brother Aaron that he cannot go into the holy place whenever he wants to. If he goes up to the canopy and stands in front of the throne of mercy on the ark, he will die, because I appear in the smoke above the throne of mercy.
3 “This is what Aaron must do in order to come into the holy place: He must take a bull as an offering for sin and a ram as a burnt offering. 4 He must put on a holy linen robe and wear linen undergarments. He must wear a linen belt and turban. These are holy clothes. He must wash his body and put them on. 5 He will take two male goats from the congregation of Israel as an offering for sin and a ram as a burnt offering.
6 “Aaron must sacrifice the bull as his own offering for sin. By doing this, he will make peace with the Lord for himself and his family. 7 He must take the two male goats and bring them into the Lord’s presence at the entrance to the tent of meeting. 8 Then Aaron must throw lots for the two goats. One lot will be for the Lord and the other for Azazel.[a] 9 Aaron must sacrifice the goat chosen by lot for the Lord as an offering for sin. 10 But he must bring the goat chosen by lot for Azazel into the Lord’s presence. He will release it in the desert to Azazel in order to make peace with the Lord for himself and his family.
11 “Aaron will bring the bull. He will then slaughter it as his own offering for sin. By doing this he will make peace with the Lord for himself and his family. 12 He will take an incense burner full of burning coals from the altar, which is in the Lord’s presence, and two handfuls of finely ground, sweet-smelling incense. He will bring them up to the canopy. 13 Then he will put the incense on the fire in the Lord’s presence. The cloud of incense will cover the throne of mercy, which is over the words of God’s promise, so that he will not die. 14 He will take some of the bull’s blood and sprinkle it with his finger on the east side of the throne of mercy. Then he will sprinkle some of the blood with his finger seven times in front of the throne of mercy.
15 “Next, Aaron will slaughter the goat for the people’s offering for sin. He will take the blood inside, go up to the canopy, and sprinkle it on the throne of mercy and in front of it, as he did with the bull’s blood. 16 So he will make peace with the Lord for all the sins the Israelites committed against the holy place. These sins happened because the Israelites were unclean and because they committed rebellious acts. He will do the same for the tent of meeting which is among an unclean people. 17 No one may be in the tent of meeting from the time Aaron enters the holy place to do this until he comes out. Aaron will make peace with the Lord for his own sins, his family’s sins, and the sins of the entire assembly of Israel. 18 Then he will go out to the altar that is in the Lord’s presence and make peace with the Lord there for the sins committed. He will take some of the blood from the bull and some of the goat’s blood and put it all around the horns of the altar. 19 With his finger he will sprinkle some of the blood on it seven times. Because the Israelites made it unclean, he will cleanse it and declare it holy.
20 “When he finishes making peace with the Lord at the holy place, the tent of meeting, and the altar, he will bring the living goat forward. 21 Aaron will place both hands on its head. He will confess over it all the sins, all the rebellious acts, and all the things the Israelites did wrong. He will transfer them to the goat’s head. A man will be appointed to release the goat in the desert. 22 The goat will take all their sins away to a deserted place. The man must release the goat in the desert.
23 “Then Aaron will go to the tent of meeting, take off the linen clothes he had put on to go into the holy place, and leave them there. 24 He will wash his body in the holy place and put on his other clothes. Then he will come out and sacrifice the burnt offering for himself and for the people to make peace with the Lord for his own sins and the sins of the people. 25 He will burn the fat of the offering for sin on the altar.
26 “The man who released the goat to Azazel must wash his clothes and his body. Then he may return to the camp. 27 He must take the bull and the goat outside the camp. These animals were the offering for sin whose blood was brought into the holy place to make peace with the Lord for sins. The skin, meat, and excrement from the animals must be burned. 28 Whoever burns them must wash his clothes and his body. Then he may return to the camp.
29 “This will be a permanent law for you: On the tenth day of the seventh month both native Israelites and foreigners must humble themselves. They must do no work. 30 On this day Aaron will make peace with the Lord to make you clean. Then you will be clean from all your sins in the Lord’s presence. 31 This is the most important worship festival there is for you. You will humble yourselves. It is a permanent law. 32 The priest who is anointed and ordained to serve as chief priest in his father’s place will pay for sins. He will put on the holy linen clothes 33 and will make peace with the Lord at the holy place, the tent of meeting, and the altar. He will make peace with the Lord for the priests and all the worshipers.
34 “This permanent law tells you how to make peace with the Lord once a year for all the sins the Israelites committed.”
Aaron did as the Lord had commanded Moses.

The Day of Atonement
16 The Lord spoke to Moses after (A)the death of the two sons of Aaron, when they drew near before the Lord and died, 2 and the Lord said to Moses, “Tell Aaron your brother not to (B)come at any time into the Holy Place inside the veil, before the mercy seat that is on the ark, so that he may not die. For (C)I will appear in the cloud over the mercy seat. 3 But in this way Aaron shall come into the Holy Place: (D)with a bull from the herd for a sin offering and (E)a ram for a burnt offering. 4 He shall put on (F)the holy linen coat and shall have the linen undergarment on his body, and he shall tie the linen sash around his waist, and wear the linen turban; these are the holy garments. (G)He shall bathe his body in water and then put them on. 5 And he shall take from (H)the congregation of the people of Israel two male goats for a sin offering, and one ram for a burnt offering.
6 “Aaron shall (I)offer the bull as a sin offering for himself and shall (J)make atonement for himself and for his house. 7 Then he shall take the two goats and set them before the Lord at the entrance of the tent of meeting. 8 And Aaron shall cast lots over the two goats, one lot for the Lord and the other lot for (K)Azazel.[a] 9 And Aaron shall present the goat on which the lot fell for the Lord and use it as a sin offering, 10 but the goat on which the lot fell for (L)Azazel shall be presented alive before the Lord to make atonement over it, that it may be sent away into the wilderness to (M)Azazel.
11 “Aaron shall present (N)the bull as a sin offering for himself, and shall make atonement for himself and for his house. He shall kill the bull as a sin offering for himself. 12 And he shall take (O)a censer full of coals of fire from the altar before the Lord, and two handfuls of sweet incense beaten small, and he shall bring it inside the veil 13 (P)and put the incense on the fire before the Lord, that the cloud of the incense may cover (Q)the mercy seat that is over the testimony, so that he does not die. 14 And (R)he shall take some of the blood of the bull and sprinkle it with his finger on the front of the mercy seat on the east side, and in front of the mercy seat he shall sprinkle some of the blood with his finger seven times.
15 (S)“Then he shall kill the goat of the sin offering that is for the people and bring its blood (T)inside the veil and do with its blood as he did with the blood of the bull, sprinkling it over the mercy seat and in front of the mercy seat. 16 Thus he shall (U)make atonement for the Holy Place, because of the uncleannesses of the people of Israel and because of their transgressions, all their sins. And so he shall do for the tent of meeting, which dwells with them in the midst of their uncleannesses. 17 (V)No one may be in the tent of meeting from the time he enters to make atonement in the Holy Place until he comes out and has made atonement for himself and for his house and for all the assembly of Israel. 18 Then he shall go out to the altar that is (W)before the Lord and (X)make atonement for it, and shall take some of the blood of the bull and some of the blood of the goat, and put it on the horns of the altar all around. 19 And he shall sprinkle some of the blood on it with his finger seven times, and cleanse it and consecrate it from the uncleannesses of the people of Israel.
20 “And when he has made an end of (Y)atoning for the Holy Place and the tent of meeting and the altar, he shall present the live goat. 21 And Aaron shall lay both his hands on the head of the live goat, and confess over it all the iniquities of the people of Israel, and all their transgressions, all their sins. And he shall (Z)put them on the head of the goat and send it away into the wilderness by the hand of a man who is in readiness. 22 The goat shall (AA)bear all their iniquities on itself to a remote area, and (AB)he shall let the goat go free in the wilderness.
23 “Then Aaron shall come into the tent of meeting and (AC)shall take off the linen garments that he put on when he went into the Holy Place and shall leave them there. 24 And he shall bathe his body in water in a holy place and put on his garments and come out and (AD)offer his burnt offering and the burnt offering of the people and make atonement for himself and for the people. 25 And (AE)the fat of the sin offering he shall burn on the altar. 26 And he who lets the goat go to (AF)Azazel shall wash his clothes and (AG)bathe his body in water, and afterward he may come into the camp. 27 (AH)And 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. Their skin and their flesh and their dung shall be burned up with fire. 28 And he who burns them shall wash his clothes and bathe his body in water, and afterward he may come into the camp.
29 “And it shall be a statute to you forever that (AI)in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, you shall (AJ)afflict yourselves[b] and shall do no work, either (AK)the native or the stranger who sojourns among you. 30 For on this day shall atonement be made for you (AL)to cleanse you. You shall be clean before the Lord from all your sins. 31 (AM)It is a Sabbath of solemn rest to you, and you shall (AN)afflict yourselves; it is a statute forever. 32 (AO)And the priest who is anointed and (AP)consecrated as priest in his father's place (AQ)shall make atonement, wearing the holy linen garments. 33 He shall make atonement for (AR)the holy sanctuary, and he shall make atonement for the tent of meeting and for (AS)the altar, and he shall make atonement for (AT)the priests and for (AU)all the people of the assembly. 34 And this shall be a statute forever for you, that atonement may be made for the people of Israel (AV)once in the year because of all their sins.” And Aaron[c] did as the Lord commanded Moses.

El día de la expiación
16 Habló Jehová a Moisés después de la muerte de los dos hijos de Aarón, cuando se acercaron delante de Jehová, y murieron. 2 Y Jehová dijo a Moisés: Di a Aarón tu hermano, que no en todo tiempo entre en el santuario detrás del velo,(A) delante del propiciatorio que está sobre el arca, para que no muera; porque yo apareceré en la nube sobre el propiciatorio. 3 Con esto entrará Aarón en el santuario: con un becerro para expiación, y un carnero para holocausto.(B) 4 Se vestirá la túnica santa de lino, y sobre su cuerpo tendrá calzoncillos de lino, y se ceñirá el cinto de lino, y con la mitra de lino se cubrirá. Son las santas vestiduras; con ellas se ha de vestir después de lavar su cuerpo con agua. 5 Y de la congregación de los hijos de Israel tomará dos machos cabríos para expiación, y un carnero para holocausto.
6 Y hará traer Aarón el becerro de la expiación que es suyo, y hará la reconciliación por sí y por su casa. 7 Después tomará los dos machos cabríos y los presentará delante de Jehová, a la puerta del tabernáculo de reunión. 8 Y echará suertes Aarón sobre los dos machos cabríos; una suerte por Jehová, y otra suerte por Azazel. 9 Y hará traer Aarón el macho cabrío sobre el cual cayere la suerte por Jehová, y lo ofrecerá en expiación. 10 Mas el macho cabrío sobre el cual cayere la suerte por Azazel, lo presentará vivo delante de Jehová para hacer la reconciliación sobre él, para enviarlo a Azazel al desierto.
11 Y hará traer Aarón el becerro que era para expiación suya, y hará la reconciliación por sí y por su casa, y degollará en expiación el becerro que es suyo. 12 Después tomará un incensario lleno de brasas de fuego del altar de delante de Jehová, y sus puños llenos del perfume aromático molido, y lo llevará detrás del velo. 13 Y pondrá el perfume sobre el fuego delante de Jehová, y la nube del perfume cubrirá el propiciatorio que está sobre el testimonio, para que no muera. 14 Tomará luego de la sangre del becerro, y la rociará con su dedo hacia el propiciatorio al lado oriental; hacia el propiciatorio esparcirá con su dedo siete veces de aquella sangre. 15 Después degollará el macho cabrío en expiación por el pecado del pueblo, y llevará la sangre detrás del velo adentro,(C) y hará de la sangre como hizo con la sangre del becerro, y la esparcirá sobre el propiciatorio y delante del propiciatorio. 16 Así purificará el santuario, a causa de las impurezas de los hijos de Israel, de sus rebeliones y de todos sus pecados; de la misma manera hará también al tabernáculo de reunión, el cual reside entre ellos en medio de sus impurezas. 17 Ningún hombre estará en el tabernáculo de reunión cuando él entre a hacer la expiación en el santuario, hasta que él salga, y haya hecho la expiación por sí, por su casa y por toda la congregación de Israel. 18 Y saldrá al altar que está delante de Jehová, y lo expiará, y tomará de la sangre del becerro y de la sangre del macho cabrío, y la pondrá sobre los cuernos del altar alrededor. 19 Y esparcirá sobre él de la sangre con su dedo siete veces, y lo limpiará, y lo santificará de las inmundicias de los hijos de Israel.
20 Cuando hubiere acabado de expiar el santuario y el tabernáculo de reunión y el altar, hará traer el macho cabrío vivo; 21 y pondrá Aarón sus dos manos sobre la cabeza del macho cabrío vivo, y confesará sobre él todas las iniquidades de los hijos de Israel, todas sus rebeliones y todos sus pecados, poniéndolos así sobre la cabeza del macho cabrío, y lo enviará al desierto por mano de un hombre destinado para esto. 22 Y aquel macho cabrío llevará sobre sí todas las iniquidades de ellos a tierra inhabitada; y dejará ir al macho cabrío por el desierto.
23 Después vendrá Aarón al tabernáculo de reunión, y se quitará las vestiduras de lino que había vestido para entrar en el santuario, y las pondrá allí.(D) 24 Lavará luego su cuerpo con agua en el lugar del santuario, y después de ponerse sus vestidos saldrá, y hará su holocausto, y el holocausto del pueblo, y hará la expiación por sí y por el pueblo. 25 Y quemará en el altar la grosura del sacrificio por el pecado. 26 El que hubiere llevado el macho cabrío a Azazel, lavará sus vestidos, lavará también con agua su cuerpo, y después entrará en el campamento. 27 Y sacarán fuera del campamento(E) el becerro y el macho cabrío inmolados por el pecado, cuya sangre fue llevada al santuario para hacer la expiación; y quemarán en el fuego su piel, su carne y su estiércol. 28 El que los quemare lavará sus vestidos, lavará también su cuerpo con agua, y después podrá entrar en el campamento.
29 Y esto tendréis por estatuto perpetuo: En el mes séptimo, a los diez días del mes, afligiréis vuestras almas, y ninguna obra haréis, ni el natural ni el extranjero que mora entre vosotros. 30 Porque en este día se hará expiación por vosotros,(F) y seréis limpios de todos vuestros pecados delante de Jehová. 31 Día de reposo es para vosotros, y afligiréis vuestras almas; es estatuto perpetuo. 32 Hará la expiación el sacerdote que fuere ungido y consagrado para ser sacerdote en lugar de su padre; y se vestirá las vestiduras de lino, las vestiduras sagradas. 33 Y hará la expiación por el santuario santo, y el tabernáculo de reunión; también hará expiación por el altar, por los sacerdotes y por todo el pueblo de la congregación. 34 Y esto tendréis como estatuto perpetuo, para hacer expiación una vez al año por todos los pecados de Israel. Y Moisés lo hizo como Jehová le mandó.

16 И говорил Господь Моисею по смерти двух сынов Аароновых, когда они, приступив пред лице Господне, умерли,
2 и сказал Господь Моисею: скажи Аарону, брату твоему, чтоб он не во всякое время входил во святилище за завесу пред крышку, что на ковчеге, дабы ему не умереть, ибо над крышкою Я буду являться в облаке.
3 Вот с чем должен входить Аарон во святилище: с тельцом в жертву за грех и с овном во всесожжение;
4 священный льняной хитон должен надевать он, нижнее платье льняное да будет на теле его, и льняным поясом пусть опоясывается, и льняной кидар надевает: это священные одежды; и пусть омывает он тело свое водою и надевает их;
5 и от общества сынов Израилевых пусть возьмет двух козлов в жертву за грех и одного овна во всесожжение.
6 И принесет Аарон тельца в жертву за грех за себя и очистит себя и дом свой.
7 И возьмет двух козлов и поставит их пред лицем Господним у входа скинии собрания;
8 и бросит Аарон об обоих козлах жребии: один жребий для Господа, а другой жребий для отпущения;
9 и приведет Аарон козла, на которого вышел жребий для Господа, и принесет его в жертву за грех,
10 а козла, на которого вышел жребий для отпущения, поставит живого пред Господом, чтобы совершить над ним очищение и отослать его в пустыню для отпущения.
11 И приведет Аарон тельца в жертву за грех за себя, и очистит себя и дом свой, и заколет тельца в жертву за грех за себя;
12 и возьмет горящих угольев полную кадильницу с жертвенника, который пред лицем Господним, и благовонного мелко истолченного курения полные горсти, и внесет за завесу;
13 и положит курение на огонь пред лицем Господним, и облако курения покроет крышку, которая над [ковчегом] откровения, дабы ему не умереть;
14 и возьмет крови тельца и покропит перстом своим на крышку спереди и пред крышкою, семь раз покропит кровью с перста своего.
15 И заколет козла в жертву за грех за народ, и внесет кровь его за завесу, и сделает с кровью его то же, что делал с кровью тельца и покропит ею на крышку и пред крышкою, --
16 и очистит святилище от нечистот сынов Израилевых и от преступлений их, во всех грехах их. Так должен поступить он и со скиниею собрания, находящеюся у них, среди нечистот их.
17 Ни один человек не должен быть в скинии собрания, когда входит он для очищения святилища, до самого выхода его. И так очистит он себя, дом свой и все общество Израилево.
18 И выйдет он к жертвеннику, который пред лицем Господним, и очистит его, и возьмет крови тельца и крови козла, и возложит на роги жертвенника со всех сторон,
19 и покропит на него кровью с перста своего семь раз, и очистит его, и освятит его от нечистот сынов Израилевых.
20 И совершив очищение святилища, скинии собрания и жертвенника, приведет он живого козла,
21 и возложит Аарон обе руки свои на голову живого козла, и исповедает над ним все беззакония сынов Израилевых и все преступления их и все грехи их, и возложит их на голову козла, и отошлет с нарочным человеком в пустыню:
22 и понесет козел на себе все беззакония их в землю непроходимую, и пустит он козла в пустыню.
23 И войдет Аарон в скинию собрания, и снимет льняные одежды, которые надевал, входя во святилище, и оставит их там,
24 и омоет тело свое водою на святом месте, и наденет одежды свои, и выйдет и совершит всесожжение за себя и всесожжение за народ, и очистит себя и народ;
25 а тук жертвы за грех воскурит на жертвеннике.
26 И тот, кто отводил козла для отпущения, должен вымыть одежды свои, омыть тело свое водою, и потом может войти в стан.
27 А тельца за грех и козла за грех, которых кровь внесена была для очищения святилища, пусть вынесут вон из стана и сожгут на огне кожи их и мясо их и нечистоту их;
28 кто сожжет их, тот должен вымыть одежды свои и омыть тело свое водою, и после того может войти в стан.
29 И да будет сие для вас вечным постановлением: в седьмой месяц, в десятый [день] месяца смиряйте души ваши и никакого дела не делайте, ни туземец, ни пришлец, поселившийся между вами,
30 ибо в сей день очищают вас, чтобы сделать вас чистыми от всех грехов ваших, чтобы вы были чисты пред лицем Господним;
31 это суббота покоя для вас, смиряйте души ваши: это постановление вечное.
32 Очищать же должен священник, который помазан и который посвящен, чтобы священнодействовать ему вместо отца своего: и наденет он льняные одежды, одежды священные,
33 и очистит Святое-святых и скинию собрания, и жертвенник очистит, и священников и весь народ общества очистит.
34 И да будет сие для вас вечным постановлением: очищать сынов Израилевых от всех грехов их однажды в году. И сделал он так, как повелел Господь Моисею.
