Leviticus 16:11-19
1599 Geneva Bible
11 Thus Aaron shall offer the bullock for his sin offering, and make a reconciliation for himself, and for his house, and shall kill the bullock for his sin offering.
12 And he shall take a censer full of burning coals from off the altar before the Lord, and his hand full of sweet incense beaten small, and bring it within the [a]veil,
13 And shall put the incense upon the fire before the Lord, that the [b]cloud of the incense may cover the Mercy seat that is upon [c]the Testimony: so he shall not die.
14 And he shall (A)take of the blood of the bullock, (B)and sprinkle it with his finger upon the Mercy seat [d]Eastward: and before the Mercy seat shall he sprinkle of the blood with his finger seven times.
15 ¶ Then shall he kill the goat that is the people’s sin offering, and bring his blood within the veil and do with that blood, as he did with the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it upon the Mercy seat, and before the Mercy seat.
16 So he shall purge the Holy place from the uncleanness of the children of Israel, and from their trespasses of all their sins: so shall he do also for the Tabernacle of the Congregation [e]placed with them, in the midst of their uncleanness.
17 (C)And there shall be no man in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, when he goeth in to make an atonement in the Holy place, until he come out, and have made an atonement for himself, and for his household, and for all the Congregation of Israel.
18 After, he shall go out unto the [f]altar that is before the Lord, and make a reconciliation upon it, and shall take of the blood of the bullock, and of the blood of the goat, and put it upon the horns of the Altar round about.
19 So shall he sprinkle of the blood upon it with his finger seven times, and cleanse it, and hallow it from the uncleanness of the children of Israel.
