[ACHAREY MOS]

16 And Hashem spoke unto Moshe after the mot of the two Bnei Aharon, when they approached before Hashem, and died;

² And Hashem said unto Moshe, Speak unto Aharon thy brother, that he come not at any time into HaKodesh within the Parochet (curtain) before the Kapporet, which is upon the Aron; that he die not; for I will appear in the Anan upon the Kapporet.

³ Thus shall Aharon come into HaKodesh: with a young bull for a chattat, and a ram for an olah (burnt offering).

⁴ He shall put on the Kesones Bahd Kodesh (holy linen tunic [see Yn 19:23 on Moshiach’s Kesones, the day kapporah was made by the Kohen L’Olahm al Divrati Melki-Tzedek—Ps 110:4]), and he shall have the Mikhnesei Bahd (linen breeches) upon his basar, and shall be girded with a Avnet Bahd (linen sash), and with the Mitznefet Bahd (linen turban) shall he be attired; these are Bigdei Kodesh; therefore shall he immerse his basar in mayim, and so put them on.

⁵ And he shall take of the Adat Bnei Yisroel two male goats of the goats for a chattat, and one ram for an olah.

²⁰ And when he hath finished making kapporah for HaKodesh, and the Ohel Mo’ed, and the Mizbe’ach, he shall bring the live goat;

²¹ And Aharon shall lay both his hands upon the rosh (head) of the live goat, v’hitvaddah (and confess) over him kol avonot Bnei Yisroel, and all their peysha’im in all their chattot, putting them upon the rosh of the goat, and shall send him away by the hand of a designated man into the midbar;

²² And the goat nasah (shall carry, see Isaiah 53:12) upon him all their avonot unto an eretz gezerah (uninhabited, solitary place); and he shall release the goat in the midbar.

²³ And Aharon shall come into the Ohel Mo’ed, and shall put off the linen garments, which he put on when he went into HaKodesh, and shall leave them there;

²⁴ And he shall wash his basar with mayim in the Makom Kadosh, and put on his garments, come out, and offer his olah and the olah of HaAm, and make kapporah for himself, and for HaAm.

²⁵ And the chelev of the chattat shall he burn upon the Mizbe’ach.

²⁶ And he that released the goat for Azazel shall immerse his garments and immerse his basar in mayim, and afterward come into the machaneh.

²⁷ And the bull for the chattat, and the goat for the chattat whose dahm was brought in to make kapporah in HaKodesh, shall one carry forth outside the machaneh; and they shall burn in the eish their hides, and their basar, and their dung.

²⁸ And he that burneth them shall immerse his garments, and immerse his basar in mayim, and afterward he shall come into the machaneh.

¹⁸ Now going up early into the city, he was hungry.

¹⁹ And observing the etz teenah (fig tree) on the way, he went up to it and found nothing on it, except leaves, and he says to it, No longer from you will there ever be pri (fruit)! And the etz teenah withered then and there.

²⁰ And observing this, the talmidim were astounded, saying, How did the etz teenah instantly wither?

²¹ And he said in reply, Omein, I say to you, if you have emunah and do not doubt, not only will you do what was done to the etz teenah, but also if you say to this mountain, Be lifted up and be thrown into the sea, it will happen.

²² And, when you daven, all things whatever for which you may make techinnah (petition, supplication) with emunah, you will receive.
