Leviticus 16:2

Contemporary English Version

The Great Day of Forgiveness

16 ^1-2 (A) Two of Aaron's sons had already lost their lives for disobeying the Lord,^[a] so the Lord told Moses to say to Aaron:

I, the Lord, appear in a cloud over the place of mercy on the sacred chest, which is behind the inside curtain^[b] of the sacred tent. And I warn you not to go there except at the proper time. Otherwise, you will die!
