Leviticus 16:5-14
New American Standard Bible
5 And he shall take from the congregation of the sons of Israel (A)two male goats as a [a]sin offering, and one ram as a burnt offering. 6 Then (B)Aaron shall offer the bull as the [b]sin offering, which is for himself, so that he may make atonement for himself and for his household. 7 He shall then take the two goats and present them before the Lord at the doorway of the tent of meeting. 8 Aaron shall cast lots for the two goats, one lot for the Lord and the other lot for [c]the [d]scapegoat. 9 Then Aaron shall offer the goat on which the lot for the Lord fell, and make it a [e]sin offering. 10 But the goat on which the lot for [f]the [g]scapegoat fell shall be presented alive before the Lord, to make (C)atonement upon it, to send it into the wilderness [h]as the [i]scapegoat.
11 “Then Aaron shall offer the bull of the [j]sin offering (D)which is for himself and make atonement for himself and (E)for his household, and he shall slaughter the bull of the [k]sin offering which is for himself. 12 He shall take a (F)firepan full of coals of fire from upon the altar before the Lord and [l]two handfuls of finely ground (G)sweet incense, and bring it inside the veil. 13 He shall put the incense on the fire before the Lord, so that the cloud of incense may cover the (H)atoning cover that is on the ark of the testimony, (I)otherwise he will die. 14 Moreover, (J)he shall take some of the blood of the bull and sprinkle it (K)with his finger on the atoning cover on the east side; also in front of the atoning cover he shall sprinkle some of the blood with his finger seven times.
