Verses 1–10
1 And the LORD spoke to Moses after the death of the two sons of Aaron, when they offered before the LORD, and died:
2 And the LORD said to Moses, Speak to Aaron thy brother, that he come not at all times into the holy [place] within the vail, before the mercy-seat, which [is] upon the ark; that he may not die: for I will appear in the cloud upon the mercy-seat.
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 the linen girdle, and with the linen miter 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 scape-goat.
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 scape-goat, shall be presented alive before the LORD, to make an atonement with him, [and] to let him go for a scape-goat into the wilderness.
