Leviticus 16:3-10
New International Version
Leviticus 16:3-10
New International Version
3 “This is how Aaron is to enter the Most Holy Place:(A) He must first bring a young bull(B) for a sin offering[a] and a ram for a burnt offering.(C) 4 He is to put on the sacred linen tunic,(D) with linen undergarments next to his body; he is to tie the linen sash around him and put on the linen turban.(E) These are sacred garments;(F) so he must bathe himself with water(G) before he puts them on.(H) 5 From the Israelite community(I) he is to take two male goats(J) for a sin offering and a ram for a burnt offering.
6 “Aaron is to offer the bull for his own sin offering to make atonement for himself and his household.(K) 7 Then he is to take the two goats and present them before the Lord at the entrance to the tent of meeting. 8 He is to cast lots(L) for the two goats—one lot for the Lord and the other for the scapegoat.[b](M) 9 Aaron shall bring the goat whose lot falls to the Lord and sacrifice it for a sin offering. 10 But the goat chosen by lot as the scapegoat shall be presented alive before the Lord to be used for making atonement(N) by sending it into the wilderness as a scapegoat.

Leviticus 16:3-10
King James Version
3 Thus shall Aaron come into the holy place: with a young bullock for a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering.
4 He shall put on the holy linen coat, and he shall have the linen breeches upon his flesh, and shall be girded with a linen girdle, and with the linen mitre shall he be attired: these are holy garments; therefore shall he wash his flesh in water, and so put them on.
5 And he shall take of the congregation of the children of Israel two kids of the goats for a sin offering, and one ram for a burnt offering.
6 And Aaron shall offer his bullock of the sin offering, which is for himself, and make an atonement for himself, and for his house.
7 And he shall take the two goats, and present them before the Lord at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
8 And Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats; one lot for the Lord, and the other lot for the scapegoat.
9 And Aaron shall bring the goat upon which the Lord's lot fell, and offer him for a sin offering.
10 But the goat, on which the lot fell to be the scapegoat, shall be presented alive before the Lord, to make an atonement with him, and to let him go for a scapegoat into the wilderness.
