The Day of Atonement

1 Now the Lord spoke to Moses after athe death of the two sons of Aaron, when they offered profane fire before the Lord, and died;  
2 and the Lord said to Moses: “Tell Aaron your brother anot to come at just any time into the Holy Place inside the veil, before the mercy seat which is on the ark, lest he die; for bI will appear in the cloud above the mercy seat.  
3 “Thus Aaron shall acome into the Holy Place: bwith the blood of a young bull as a sin offering, and of a ram as a burnt offering.  
4 He shall put the aholy linen tunic and the linen trousers on his body; bhe shall be girded with a linen sash, and with the linen turban he shall be attired. These are holy garments. Therefore he shall wash his body in water, and put them on.  
5 And he shall take from athe congregation of the children of Israel two kids of the goats as a sin offering, and one ram as a burnt offering.  
6 “Aaron shall offer the bull as a sin offering, which is for himself, and amake atonement for himself and for his house.  
7 He shall take the two goats and present them before the Lord at the door of the tabernacle of meeting.
8 Then Aaron shall cast lots for the two goats: one lot for the Lord and the other lot for the scapegoat.

Leviticus

LEVITICUS. So called from its treating of the laws relating to the ritual, the services, and sacrifices of the Jewish religion, the superintendence of which was entrusted to the Levitical priesthood. It is chiefly, however, the duties of the priests, "the sons of Aaron," which this book describes; and its claim to be the work of Moses is established by the following passages:— II Chronicles 30:16; Nehemiah 8:14; Jeremiah 7:22-23; Ezekiel 20:11 Matthew 8:4; Luke 2:22; John 8:5; Romans 10:4; Romans 13:9; II Corinthians 6:16; Galatians 3:12; I Peter 1:16.
