Leviticus 16:1-3

Good News Translation

The Day of Atonement

16 The Lord spoke to Moses after the death of the two sons of Aaron who were killed when they offered unholy fire to the Lord. ^2 (A)He said, “Tell your brother Aaron that only at the proper time is he to go behind the curtain into the Most Holy Place, because that is where I appear in a cloud above the lid on the Covenant Box. If he disobeys, he will be killed. ^3 (B)He may enter the Most Holy Place only after he has brought a young bull for a sin offering and a ram for a burnt offering.”
