Leviticus 16:1-5

English Standard Version

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.
