Leviticus 16

Studie

   

1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses after the death of the two sons of Aaron, when they came·​·near before Jehovah, and died;

2 and Jehovah said to Moses, Speak to Aaron thy brother, that he not come at all times into the holy place inside the veil to the face of the place of atonement, which is on the ark, that he die not; for I will appear in the cloud on the place of atonement.

3 By this shall Aaron come into the holy place; with a son of the herd, a bullock for a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt·​·offering.

4 He shall clothe· himself ·with the holy linen tunic, and there shall be linen breeches upon his flesh, and he shall be girded with a linen belt, and with the linen miter shall he be mitered; these are holy garments; and he shall bathe his flesh in the water, and so be·​·clothed·​·with them.

5 And he shall take of the congregation of the sons of Israel two male goats of the goats for a sin offering, and one ram for a burnt·​·offering.

6 And Aaron shall offer the bullock of the sin offering, which is for himself, and make·​·atonement for himself, and for his house.

7 And he shall take the two male goats, and stand them before Jehovah at the entrance of the Tabernacle of the congregation.

8 And Aaron shall put lots on the two goats; one lot for Jehovah, and one lot for Azazel*.

9 And Aaron shall offer the goat upon which Jehovah’s lot came·​·up, and make him a sin offering.

10 But the male goat, on which the lot came·​·up for Azazel, shall be stood living before Jehovah, to make·​·atonement upon it, and to send it to be Azazel toward the wilderness.

11 And Aaron shall offer the bullock of the sin offering, which is for himself, and shall make·​·atonement for himself, and for his house, and shall slaughter the bullock of the sin offering which is for himself;

12 and he shall take a full censer of coals of fire from on the altar, from before Jehovah, and his fists shall be full of fragrant incense beaten thin, and bring it inside the veil;

13 and he shall put the incense upon the fire before Jehovah, and the cloud of the incense shall cover the place of atonement that is upon the testimony, and he will not die;

14 and he shall take of the blood of the bullock, and spatter it with his finger before the place of the atonement on the east; and before the place of the atonement shall he spatter of the blood with his finger seven times.

15 And he shall slaughter the goat of the sin offering, that is for the people, and bring his blood inside the veil, and do with his blood as he did with the blood of the bullock, and spatter it upon the place of atonement, and before the place of atonement;

16 and he shall make·​·atonement on the holy place, from the uncleanness of the sons of Israel, and from their transgressions for all their sins; and so shall he do for the Tabernacle of the congregation, the Habitation with them in the midst of their uncleanness.

17 And there shall be not any man in the Tabernacle of the congregation when he goes·​·in to make·​·atonement in the holy place, until he come·​·out, and have made·​·atonement for himself, and for his house, and for all the assembly of Israel.

18 And he shall go·​·out to the altar that is before Jehovah, and make·​·atonement for it; and shall take of the blood of the bullock, and of the blood of the goat, and put it upon the horns of the altar all around.

19 And he shall spatter of the blood upon it with his finger seven times, and cleanse it, and hallow it from the uncleanness of the sons of Israel.

20 And when he has completed making·​·atonement·​·for the holy place, and ·for the Tabernacle of the congregation, and ·for the altar, then he shall offer the live goat;

21 and Aaron shall lay his two hands on the head of the live goat, and confess over it all the iniquities of the sons of Israel, and all their transgressions for all their sins, and he shall put them on the head of the goat, and shall send· it ·out by the hand of a man of fate to the wilderness;

22 and the goat shall bear on him all their iniquities to a land apart*; and he shall send the goat into the wilderness.

23 And Aaron shall come into the Tabernacle of the congregation, and shall strip·​·off the linen garments, with which he clothed himself when he came into the holy place, and shall place them there;

24 and he shall bathe his flesh with water in the holy place, and clothe· himself ·with his garments, and come·​·out, and make his burnt·​·offering, and the burnt·​·offering of the people, and make·​·atonement for himself, and for the people.

25 And the fat of the sin offering shall he burn·​·for·​·incense on the altar.

26 And he that sends the male goat to be Azazel shall wash his garments, and bathe his flesh in the water, and after thus, come to the camp.

27 And the bullock for the sin offering, and the goat for the sin offering, whose blood was brought to make·​·atonement in the holy place, shall one bring·​·out, to outside the camp and they shall burn·​·up in the fire their skins, and their flesh, and their dung.

28 And he that burns· them ·up shall wash his garments, and bathe his flesh in the water, and after thus he shall come into the camp.

29 And this shall be for an eternal statute for you; that in the seventh month, on the tenth of the month, you shall afflict your souls, and not do any work*, the native and the sojourner sojourning in your midst.

30 for on this day shall the priest make·​·atonement for you, to cleanse you, that you may be·​·clean from all your sins before Jehovah.

31 It shall be a Sabbath of rest to you, and you shall afflict your souls, by an eternal statute.

32 And the priest, whom he shall anoint, and whose hand he shall·​·fill to be·​·a·​·priest in· his father’s ·stead, shall make· the ·atonement, and shall clothe· himself ·with the linen garments, even the holy garments;

33 and he shall make·​·atonement·​·for the holy sanctuary, and he shall make·​·atonement·​·for the Tabernacle of the congregation and the altar, and he shall make·​·atonement for the priests, and for all the people of the assembly.

34 And this shall be an eternal statute to you, to make·​·atonement for the sons of Israel for all their sins once a year. And he did as Jehovah commanded Moses.

Coals

  

Coals of fire being scattered over the cities (Ezekiel 10:1, 7) signify that men were to be left to their wild lusts.
