The Day of Atonement

¹Now the Lord spoke to Moses after ⚓the death of the two sons of Aaron, when they offered profane fire before the Lord, and died; ²and the Lord said to Moses: “Tell Aaron your brother ⚓not 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 ⚓I will appear in the cloud above the mercy seat.
³“Thus Aaron shall ⚓come into the Holy Place: ⚓with the blood of a young bull as a sin offering, and of a ram as a burnt offering. ⁴He shall put the ⚓holy linen tunic and the linen trousers on his body; ⚓he 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. ⁵And he shall take from ⚓the 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 ⚓make atonement for himself and for his house. ⁷He shall take the two goats and present them before the Lord at the door of the tabernacle of meeting. ⁸Then Aaron shall cast lots for the two goats: one lot for the Lord and the other lot for the scapegoat. ⁹And Aaron shall bring the goat on which the Lord’s lot fell, and offer it as a sin offering. ¹⁰But the goat on which the lot fell to be the scapegoat shall be presented alive before the Lord, to make ⚓atonement upon it, and to let it go as the scapegoat into the wilderness.
¹¹“And Aaron shall bring the bull of the sin offering, which is for himself, and make atonement for ⚓himself and for his house, and shall kill the bull as the sin offering which is for himself. ¹²Then he shall take ⚓a censer full of burning coals of fire from the altar before the Lord, with his hands full of ⚓sweet incense beaten fine, and bring it inside the veil. ¹³⚓And he shall put the incense on the fire before the Lord, that the cloud of incense may cover the ⚓mercy seat that is on the Testimony, lest he ⚓die. ¹⁴⚓He shall take some of the blood of the bull and ⚓sprinkle it with his finger on the mercy seat on the east side; and before the mercy seat he shall sprinkle some of the blood with his finger seven times.
¹⁵⚓“Then he shall kill the goat of the sin offering, which is for the people, bring its blood ⚓inside the veil, do with that blood as he did with the blood of the bull, and sprinkle it on the mercy seat and before the mercy seat. ¹⁶So he shall ⚓make atonement for the Holy Place, because of the uncleanness of the children of Israel, and because of their transgressions, for all their sins; and so he shall do for the tabernacle of meeting which remains among them in the midst of their uncleanness. ¹⁷There shall be ⚓no man in the tabernacle of meeting when he goes in to make atonement in the Holy Place, until he comes out, that he may make atonement for himself, for his household, and for all the assembly of Israel. ¹⁸And he shall go out to the altar that is before the Lord, and make atonement for ⚓it, and shall take some of the blood of the bull and some of the blood of the goat, and put it on the horns of the altar all around. ¹⁹Then he shall sprinkle some of the blood on it with his finger seven times, cleanse it, and ⚓consecrate it from the uncleanness of the children of Israel.
²⁰“And when he has made an end of atoning for the Holy Place, the tabernacle of meeting, and the altar, he shall bring the live goat. ²¹Aaron shall lay both his hands on the head of the live goat, ⚓confess over it all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions, concerning all their sins, ⚓putting them on the head of the goat, and shall send it away into the wilderness by the hand of a suitable man. ²²The goat shall ⚓bear on itself all their iniquities to an uninhabited land; and he shall ⚓release the goat in the wilderness.
²³“Then Aaron shall come into the tabernacle of meeting, ⚓shall take off the linen garments which he put on when he went into the Holy Place, and shall leave them there. ²⁴And he shall wash his body with water in a holy place, put on his garments, come out and offer his burnt offering and the burnt offering of the people, and make atonement for himself and for the people. ²⁵⚓The fat of the sin offering he shall burn on the altar. ²⁶And he who released the goat as the scapegoat shall wash his clothes ⚓and bathe his body in water, and afterward he may come into the camp. ²⁷⚓The bull for the sin offering and the goat for the sin offering, whose blood was brought in to make atonement in the Holy Place, shall be carried outside the camp. And they shall burn in the fire their skins, their flesh, and their offal. ²⁸Then he who burns them shall wash his clothes and bathe his body in water, and afterward he may come into the camp.
²⁹“This shall be a statute forever for you: ⚓In the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, you shall afflict your souls, and do no work at all, whether a native of your own country or a stranger who dwells among you. ³⁰For on that day the priest shall make atonement for you, to ⚓cleanse you, that you may be clean from all your sins before the Lord. ³¹⚓It is a sabbath of solemn rest for you, and you shall afflict your souls. It is a statute forever. ³²⚓And the priest, who is anointed and ⚓consecrated to minister as priest in his father’s place, shall make atonement, and put on the linen clothes, the holy garments; ³³then he shall make atonement for the Holy Sanctuary, and he shall make atonement for the tabernacle of meeting and for the altar, and he shall make atonement for the priests and for all the people of the assembly. ³⁴⚓This shall be an everlasting statute for you, to make atonement for the children of Israel, for all their sins, ⚓once a year.” And he did as the Lord commanded Moses.

赎罪日

¹亚伦的两个儿子靠近耶和华面前，死了。他们死后，耶和华吩咐摩西； ²耶和华对摩西说：“你要吩咐你哥哥亚伦，不可随时进入圣所的幔子内、到柜盖⚓前，免得他死亡，因为我在柜盖上的云中显现。 ³亚伦进圣所要带这些：一头公牛犊为赎罪祭，一只公绵羊为燔祭。 ⁴他要穿上细麻布圣内袍，把细麻布裤子穿在身上，腰束细麻布带子，头戴细麻布礼冠；这些都是圣服。他要用水洗身，然后穿上圣服。 ⁵他要从以色列会众中取两只公山羊为赎罪祭，一只公绵羊为燔祭。
⁶“亚伦要把他自己赎罪祭的公牛献上，为自己和家人赎罪； ⁷也要把两只公山羊牵到耶和华面前，安置在会幕的门口。 ⁸亚伦要为那两只山羊抽签，一签归给耶和华，一签归给阿撒泻勒。 ⁹亚伦要把那抽中归给耶和华的山羊牵来献为赎罪祭， ¹⁰至于抽中归给阿撒泻勒的山羊，却要活着安放在耶和华面前，用以赎罪，然后送到旷野去，归给阿撒泻勒。
¹¹“亚伦要把他自己赎罪祭的公牛献上，为自己和家人赎罪，他要宰作自己赎罪祭的公牛。 ¹²他要从耶和华面前的坛上取盛满火炭的香炉，再拿一捧捣细的香料，把这些都带入幔子内。 ¹³在耶和华面前，他要把香放在火上，使香的烟云遮着法柜上的盖子，免得他死亡。 ¹⁴他要取一些公牛的血，用手指弹在柜盖的前面，就是东面，又在柜盖的前面用手指弹血七次。
¹⁵“他要宰那只为百姓作赎罪祭的公山羊，把羊的血带入幔子内，把血弹在柜盖的上面和前面，好像弹公牛的血一样。 ¹⁶因以色列人的不洁净和过犯，就是他们一切的罪，他要为圣所赎罪；因会幕在他们不洁净之中，他也要为会幕照样做。 ¹⁷他进圣所赎罪的时候，会幕里都不准有人，直等到他为自己和家人，以及以色列全会众赎了罪出来。 ¹⁸他出来后，要到耶和华面前的祭坛那里，为坛赎罪。他要取一些公牛的血和公山羊的血，抹在坛周围的四个翘角上。 ¹⁹他也要用手指把血弹在坛上七次，使坛从以色列人的不洁净中得以洁净，成为圣。”

代罪的山羊

²⁰“亚伦为圣所和会幕，以及祭坛赎罪后，就要把那只活的公山羊牵来。 ²¹他的双手要按在活的山羊的头上，承认以色列人所有的罪孽过犯，就是他们一切的罪，把这些罪都归在羊的头上，再指派一个人把它送到旷野去。 ²²这羊要担当他们一切的罪孽，带到无人之地；那人要把羊送到旷野去。
²³“亚伦要进入会幕，把他进圣所时所穿的细麻布衣服脱下，放在那里， ²⁴又要在圣处用水洗身，穿上衣服出来，把自己的燔祭和百姓的燔祭献上，为自己和百姓赎罪。 ²⁵赎罪祭牲的脂肪要烧在坛上。 ²⁶那放走山羊归给阿撒泻勒的人要洗衣服，用水洗身，然后才可以回到营里。 ²⁷作赎罪祭的公牛和作赎罪祭的公山羊的血被带入圣所赎罪之后，就要把这牛羊搬到营外，皮、肉、粪都用火焚烧。 ²⁸焚烧的人要洗衣服，用水洗身，然后才可以回到营里。”

赎罪日

²⁹“这是你们永远的定例：每年七月初十，你们要刻苦己心；无论是本地人，是寄居在你们中间的外人，任何工都不可做。 ³⁰因为这日要为你们赎罪，洁净你们，使你们脱离一切的罪，在耶和华面前得以洁净。 ³¹这日你们要守完全安息的安息日，刻苦己心；这是永远的定例。 ³²那受膏接续他父亲担任圣职的祭司要赎罪，穿上细麻布衣服，就是圣衣， ³³为至圣所和会幕赎罪，为祭坛赎罪，并要为祭司和会众的全体百姓赎罪。 ³⁴这要作你们永远的定例：因以色列人一切的罪，要一年一次为他们赎罪。”于是，亚伦照耶和华所吩咐摩西的做了 ⚓。
