1The LORD spoke to Moses after the death of Aaron's two sons when they had approached the LORD and died. 1וַיְדַבֵּ֤ר יְהוָה֙ אֶל־ מֹשֶׁ֔ה אַחֲרֵ֣י מ֔וֹת שְׁנֵ֖י בְּנֵ֣י אַהֲרֹ֑ן בְּקָרְבָתָ֥ם לִפְנֵי־ יְהוָ֖ה וַיָּמֻֽתוּ׃
2The LORD told Moses, "Remind your brother Aaron that at no time is he to enter the sacred place from the room that contains the curtain into the presence of the Mercy Seat on top of the ark. Otherwise, he'll die, because I will appear in a cloud at the Mercy Seat. 2וַיֹּ֨אמֶר יְהוָ֜ה אֶל־ מֹשֶׁ֗ה דַּבֵּר֮ אֶל־ אַהֲרֹ֣ן אָחִיךָ֒ וְאַל־ יָבֹ֤א בְכָל־ עֵת֙ אֶל־ הַקֹּ֔דֶשׁ מִבֵּ֖ית לַפָּרֹ֑כֶת אֶל־ פְּנֵ֨י הַכַּפֹּ֜רֶת אֲשֶׁ֤ר עַל־ הָאָרֹן֙ וְלֹ֣א יָמ֔וּת כִּ֚י בֶּֽעָנָ֔ן אֵרָאֶ֖ה עַל־ הַכַּפֹּֽרֶת׃
3Aaron is to enter the sacred place with a young bull for a sin offering and a ram for a whole burnt offering. 3בְּזֹ֛את יָבֹ֥א אַהֲרֹ֖ן אֶל־ הַקֹּ֑דֶשׁ בְּפַ֧ר בֶּן־ בָּקָ֛ר לְחַטָּ֖את וְאַ֥יִל לְעֹלָֽה׃
4He is to wear a sacred linen tunic and linen undergarments that will cover his genitals. He is to clothe himself with a sash and wrap his head with a linen turban. Because they are sacred garments, he is to wash himself with water before putting them on."4כְּתֹֽנֶת־ בַּ֨ד קֹ֜דֶשׁ יִלְבָּ֗שׁ וּמִֽכְנְסֵי־ בַד֮ יִהְי֣וּ עַל־ בְּשָׂרוֹ֒ וּבְאַבְנֵ֥ט בַּד֙ יַחְגֹּ֔ר וּבְמִצְנֶ֥פֶת בַּ֖ד יִצְנֹ֑ף בִּגְדֵי־ קֹ֣דֶשׁ הֵ֔ם וְרָחַ֥ץ בַּמַּ֛יִם אֶת־ בְּשָׂר֖וֹ וּלְבֵשָֽׁם׃
5"He is to take two male goats for a sin offering and one ram for a whole burnt offering from the assembly of the Israelis. 5וּמֵאֵ֗ת עֲדַת֙ בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל יִקַּ֛ח שְׁנֵֽי־ שְׂעִירֵ֥י עִזִּ֖ים לְחַטָּ֑את וְאַ֥יִל אֶחָ֖ד לְעֹלָֽה׃
6Then Aaron is to bring the bull as a sin offering for himself and make atonement for himself and his household. 6וְהִקְרִ֧יב אַהֲרֹ֛ן אֶת־ פַּ֥ר הַחַטָּ֖את אֲשֶׁר־ ל֑וֹ וְכִפֶּ֥ר בַּעֲד֖וֹ וּבְעַ֥ד בֵּיתֽוֹ׃
7Then he is to take the two male goats and present them in the LORD's presence at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. 7וְלָקַ֖ח אֶת־ שְׁנֵ֣י הַשְּׂעִירִ֑ם וְהֶעֱמִ֤יד אֹתָם֙ לִפְנֵ֣י יְהוָ֔ה פֶּ֖תַח אֹ֥הֶל מוֹעֵֽד׃
8Aaron is to cast lots over the two male goats—one lot for the LORD and the other one for the scapegoat.8וְנָתַ֧ן אַהֲרֹ֛ן עַל־ שְׁנֵ֥י הַשְּׂעִירִ֖ם גּוֹרָל֑וֹת גּוֹרָ֤ל אֶחָד֙ לַיהוָ֔ה וְגוֹרָ֥ל אֶחָ֖ד לַעֲזָאזֵֽל׃
9Aaron is then to bring the male goat on which the lot fell for the LORD and offer it as a sin offering. 9וְהִקְרִ֤יב אַהֲרֹן֙ אֶת־ הַשָּׂעִ֔יר אֲשֶׁ֨ר עָלָ֥ה עָלָ֛יו הַגּוֹרָ֖ל לַיהוָ֑ה וְעָשָׂ֖הוּ חַטָּֽאת׃
10The male goat on which the lot fell for the scapegoat is to be brought alive into the LORD's presence to make atonement for himself. Then he is to send it into the wilderness."10וְהַשָּׂעִ֗יר אֲשֶׁר֩ עָלָ֨ה עָלָ֤יו הַגּוֹרָל֙ לַעֲזָאזֵ֔ל יָֽעֳמַד־ חַ֛י לִפְנֵ֥י יְהוָ֖ה לְכַפֵּ֣ר עָלָ֑יו לְשַׁלַּ֥ח אֹת֛וֹ לַעֲזָאזֵ֖ל הַמִּדְבָּֽרָה׃
11"Aaron is then to bring the bull for a sin offering for himself, thus making atonement for himself and his household. He is to slaughter the ox for himself. 11וְהִקְרִ֨יב אַהֲרֹ֜ן אֶת־ פַּ֤ר הַֽחַטָּאת֙ אֲשֶׁר־ ל֔וֹ וְכִפֶּ֥ר בַּֽעֲד֖וֹ וּבְעַ֣ד בֵּית֑וֹ וְשָׁחַ֛ט אֶת־ פַּ֥ר הַֽחַטָּ֖את אֲשֶׁר־ לֽוֹ׃
12Then he is to take a censer and fill it with coals from the fire on the altar in the LORD's presence. With his hands full of spiced and refined incense, he is to bring it beyond the curtain.12וְלָקַ֣ח מְלֹֽא־ הַ֠מַּחְתָּה גַּֽחֲלֵי־ אֵ֞שׁ מֵעַ֤ל הַמִּזְבֵּ֙חַ֙ מִלִּפְנֵ֣י יְהוָ֔ה וּמְלֹ֣א חָפְנָ֔יו קְטֹ֥רֶת סַמִּ֖ים דַּקָּ֑ה וְהֵבִ֖יא מִבֵּ֥ית לַפָּרֹֽכֶת׃
13"Then he is to place the incense over the fire in the LORD's presence, ensuring that the smoke from the incense covers the Mercy Seat, according to regulation, so he won't die. 13וְנָתַ֧ן אֶֽת־ הַקְּטֹ֛רֶת עַל־ הָאֵ֖שׁ לִפְנֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה וְכִסָּ֣ה ׀ עֲנַ֣ן הַקְּטֹ֗רֶת אֶת־ הַכַּפֹּ֛רֶת אֲשֶׁ֥ר עַל־ הָעֵד֖וּת וְלֹ֥א יָמֽוּת׃
14He is to take blood from the ox and sprinkle it with his forefinger toward the surface of the Mercy Seat. Then he is to sprinkle the blood on the surface of the Mercy Seat with his forefinger seven times.14וְלָקַח֙ מִדַּ֣ם הַפָּ֔ר וְהִזָּ֧ה בְאֶצְבָּע֛וֹ עַל־ פְּנֵ֥י הַכַּפֹּ֖רֶת קֵ֑דְמָה וְלִפְנֵ֣י הַכַּפֹּ֗רֶת יַזֶּ֧ה שֶֽׁבַע־ פְּעָמִ֛ים מִן־ הַדָּ֖ם בְּאֶצְבָּעֽוֹ׃
15"He is to slaughter the male goat as a sin offering for the people and bring its blood beyond the curtain and do with its blood as he did with the blood of the bull: He is to sprinkle it on the Mercy Seat—that is, over the surface of the Mercy Seat. 15וְשָׁחַ֞ט אֶת־ שְׂעִ֤יר הַֽחַטָּאת֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר לָעָ֔ם וְהֵבִיא֙ אֶת־ דָּמ֔וֹ אֶל־ מִבֵּ֖ית לַפָּרֹ֑כֶת וְעָשָׂ֣ה אֶת־ דָּמ֗וֹ כַּאֲשֶׁ֤ר עָשָׂה֙ לְדַ֣ם הַפָּ֔ר וְהִזָּ֥ה אֹת֛וֹ עַל־ הַכַּפֹּ֖רֶת וְלִפְנֵ֥י הַכַּפֹּֽרֶת׃
16Then he is to make atonement on the sacred place on account of the uncleanness of the Israelis, their transgressions, and all their sins. This is how he is to act in the Tent of Meeting, which will remain with them in the middle of their uncleanness.16וְכִפֶּ֣ר עַל־ הַקֹּ֗דֶשׁ מִטֻּמְאֹת֙ בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל וּמִפִּשְׁעֵיהֶ֖ם לְכָל־ חַטֹּאתָ֑ם וְכֵ֤ן יַעֲשֶׂה֙ לְאֹ֣הֶל מוֹעֵ֔ד הַשֹּׁכֵ֣ן אִתָּ֔ם בְּת֖וֹךְ טֻמְאֹתָֽם׃
17"No person is to be there when he enters the Tent of Meeting to make atonement in the sacred place, until he comes out and has made atonement on account of himself, his household, and the entire assembly of Israel. 17וְכָל־ אָדָ֞ם לֹא־ יִהְיֶ֣ה ׀ בְּאֹ֣הֶל מוֹעֵ֗ד בְּבֹא֛וֹ לְכַפֵּ֥ר בַּקֹּ֖דֶשׁ עַד־ צֵאת֑וֹ וְכִפֶּ֤ר בַּעֲדוֹ֙ וּבְעַ֣ד בֵּית֔וֹ וּבְעַ֖ד כָּל־ קְהַ֥ל יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
18When he goes to the altar in the LORD's presence to make atonement for himself, he is to take some of the blood from the bull and the male goat, place it around the horns of the altar, 18וְיָצָ֗א אֶל־ הַמִּזְבֵּ֛חַ אֲשֶׁ֥ר לִפְנֵֽי־ יְהוָ֖ה וְכִפֶּ֣ר עָלָ֑יו וְלָקַ֞ח מִדַּ֤ם הַפָּר֙ וּמִדַּ֣ם הַשָּׂעִ֔יר וְנָתַ֛ן עַל־ קַרְנ֥וֹת הַמִּזְבֵּ֖חַ סָבִֽיב׃
19and sprinkle it with the blood on his forefinger seven times, cleansing and sanctifying it from Israel's sins."19וְהִזָּ֨ה עָלָ֧יו מִן־ הַדָּ֛ם בְּאֶצְבָּע֖וֹ שֶׁ֣בַע פְּעָמִ֑ים וְטִהֲר֣וֹ וְקִדְּשׁ֔וֹ מִטֻּמְאֹ֖ת בְּנֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
20"When he has completed making atonement at the sacred place, the Tent of Meeting, and the altar, then he is to present the live male goat. 20וְכִלָּה֙ מִכַּפֵּ֣ר אֶת־ הַקֹּ֔דֶשׁ וְאֶת־ אֹ֥הֶל מוֹעֵ֖ד וְאֶת־ הַמִּזְבֵּ֑חַ וְהִקְרִ֖יב אֶת־ הַשָּׂעִ֥יר הֶחָֽי׃
21Aaron is to lay his two hands upon the head of the male goat and confess over it the sins of Israel, all their transgressions, and all their sins, thus placing them on the head of the male goat that he'll then send out to the wilderness by the hand of a man capable of carrying out this task.21וְסָמַ֨ךְ אַהֲרֹ֜ן אֶת־ שְׁתֵּ֣י [ידו] (יָדָ֗יו) עַ֨ל רֹ֣אשׁ הַשָּׂעִיר֮ הַחַי֒ וְהִתְוַדָּ֣ה עָלָ֗יו אֶת־ כָּל־ עֲוֺנֹת֙ בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל וְאֶת־ כָּל־ פִּשְׁעֵיהֶ֖ם לְכָל־ חַטֹּאתָ֑ם וְנָתַ֤ן אֹתָם֙ עַל־ רֹ֣אשׁ הַשָּׂעִ֔יר וְשִׁלַּ֛ח בְּיַד־ אִ֥ישׁ עִתִּ֖י הַמִּדְבָּֽרָה׃
22The male goat will bear on itself all their sins to a solitary land as Aaron sends the goat out to the wilderness.22וְנָשָׂ֨א הַשָּׂעִ֥יר עָלָ֛יו אֶת־ כָּל־ עֲוֺנֹתָ֖ם אֶל־ אֶ֣רֶץ גְּזֵרָ֑ה וְשִׁלַּ֥ח אֶת־ הַשָּׂעִ֖יר בַּמִּדְבָּֽר׃
23"Then Aaron is to enter the Tent of Meeting, take off his white linen clothes that he had put on when he entered the sacred place, and leave them there. 23וּבָ֤א אַהֲרֹן֙ אֶל־ אֹ֣הֶל מוֹעֵ֔ד וּפָשַׁט֙ אֶת־ בִּגְדֵ֣י הַבָּ֔ד אֲשֶׁ֥ר לָבַ֖שׁ בְּבֹא֣וֹ אֶל־ הַקֹּ֑דֶשׁ וְהִנִּיחָ֖ם שָֽׁם׃
24He is to wash his body with water at the sacred place and put on his clothes. Then he is to go out and offer a whole burnt offering for himself and a whole burnt offering for the people, thereby making atonement on account of himself and on account of the people.24וְרָחַ֨ץ אֶת־ בְּשָׂר֤וֹ בַמַּ֙יִם֙ בְּמָק֣וֹם קָד֔וֹשׁ וְלָבַ֖שׁ אֶת־ בְּגָדָ֑יו וְיָצָ֗א וְעָשָׂ֤ה אֶת־ עֹֽלָתוֹ֙ וְאֶת־ עֹלַ֣ת הָעָ֔ם וְכִפֶּ֥ר בַּעֲד֖וֹ וּבְעַ֥ד הָעָֽם׃
25"As to the fat from the burnt offering, he is to incinerate it on the altar. 25וְאֵ֛ת חֵ֥לֶב הַֽחַטָּ֖את יַקְטִ֥יר הַמִּזְבֵּֽחָה׃
26The one who sent away the male goat as a scapegoat is to wash his clothes and bathe his body with water. After doing so, he may enter the camp.26וְהַֽמְשַׁלֵּ֤חַ אֶת־ הַשָּׂעִיר֙ לַֽעֲזָאזֵ֔ל יְכַבֵּ֣ס בְּגָדָ֔יו וְרָחַ֥ץ אֶת־ בְּשָׂר֖וֹ בַּמָּ֑יִם וְאַחֲרֵי־ כֵ֖ן יָב֥וֹא אֶל־ הַֽמַּחֲנֶֽה׃
27"The bull for the sin offering and the male goat for the sin offering, whose blood was brought into the sacred place, are to be taken outside the camp. Their skin, meat, and offal are to be incinerated. 27וְאֵת֩ פַּ֨ר הַֽחַטָּ֜את וְאֵ֣ת ׀ שְׂעִ֣יר הַֽחַטָּ֗את אֲשֶׁ֨ר הוּבָ֤א אֶת־ דָּמָם֙ לְכַפֵּ֣ר בַּקֹּ֔דֶשׁ יוֹצִ֖יא אֶל־ מִח֣וּץ לַֽמַּחֲנֶ֑ה וְשָׂרְפ֣וּ בָאֵ֔שׁ אֶת־ עֹרֹתָ֥ם וְאֶת־ בְּשָׂרָ֖ם וְאֶת־ פִּרְשָֽׁם׃
28The one who burns them is to wash his clothes and bathe his body with water. After doing so, he may enter the camp."28וְהַשֹּׂרֵ֣ף אֹתָ֔ם יְכַבֵּ֣ס בְּגָדָ֔יו וְרָחַ֥ץ אֶת־ בְּשָׂר֖וֹ בַּמָּ֑יִם וְאַחֲרֵי־ כֵ֖ן יָב֥וֹא אֶל־ הַֽמַּחֲנֶֽה׃
29"This is to be a perpetual statute for you: On the tenth day of the seventh month, you (including both the native born and the resident alien) are to humble yourselves by not doing any work, 29וְהָיְתָ֥ה לָכֶ֖ם לְחֻקַּ֣ת עוֹלָ֑ם בַּחֹ֣דֶשׁ הַ֠שְּׁבִיעִי בֶּֽעָשׂ֨וֹר לַחֹ֜דֶשׁ תְּעַנּ֣וּ אֶת־ נַפְשֹֽׁתֵיכֶ֗ם וְכָל־ מְלָאכָה֙ לֹ֣א תַעֲשׂ֔וּ הָֽאֶזְרָ֔ח וְהַגֵּ֖ר הַגָּ֥ר בְּתוֹכְכֶֽם׃
30because on that day, atonement will be made for you to cleanse you from all your sins. You are to be clean in the LORD's presence. 30כִּֽי־ בַיּ֥וֹם הַזֶּ֛ה יְכַפֵּ֥ר עֲלֵיכֶ֖ם לְטַהֵ֣ר אֶתְכֶ֑ם מִכֹּל֙ חַטֹּ֣אתֵיכֶ֔ם לִפְנֵ֥י יְהוָ֖ה תִּטְהָֽרוּ׃
31It's the Sabbath of all Sabbaths for you, so humble yourselves. This is to be a perpetual statute. 31שַׁבַּ֨ת שַׁבָּת֥וֹן הִיא֙ לָכֶ֔ם וְעִנִּיתֶ֖ם אֶת־ נַפְשֹׁתֵיכֶ֑ם חֻקַּ֖ת עוֹלָֽם׃
32The priest who has been anointed and consecrated to be priest after his father is to make the atonement. He is to put on the sacred linen clothing 32וְכִפֶּ֨ר הַכֹּהֵ֜ן אֲשֶׁר־ יִמְשַׁ֣ח אֹת֗וֹ וַאֲשֶׁ֤ר יְמַלֵּא֙ אֶת־ יָד֔וֹ לְכַהֵ֖ן תַּ֣חַת אָבִ֑יו וְלָבַ֛שׁ אֶת־ בִּגְדֵ֥י הַבָּ֖ד בִּגְדֵ֥י הַקֹּֽדֶשׁ׃
33and make atonement for the sacred sanctuary, the Tent of Meeting, and the altar where atonement is carried out. He is also to make atonement for the priests and the people of the entire assembly. 33וְכִפֶּר֙ אֶת־ מִקְדַּ֣שׁ הַקֹּ֔דֶשׁ וְאֶת־ אֹ֧הֶל מוֹעֵ֛ד וְאֶת־ הַמִּזְבֵּ֖חַ יְכַפֵּ֑ר וְעַ֧ל הַכֹּהֲנִ֛ים וְעַל־ כָּל־ עַ֥ם הַקָּהָ֖ל יְכַפֵּֽר׃
34This will be a perpetual statute for you as you make atonement once a year for the Israelis on account of all their sins." So Moses did just as the LORD had commanded him.34וְהָֽיְתָה־ זֹּ֨את לָכֶ֜ם לְחֻקַּ֣ת עוֹלָ֗ם לְכַפֵּ֞ר עַל־ בְּנֵ֤י יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ מִכָּל־ חַטֹּאתָ֔ם אַחַ֖ת בַּשָּׁנָ֑ה וַיַּ֕עַשׂ כַּאֲשֶׁ֛ר צִוָּ֥ה יְהוָ֖ה אֶת־ מֹשֶֽׁה׃ פ
