Leviticus 16:2-13

2 And Yahweh said to Moses:
“Tell your brother Aaron that he shall not enter aat any time into the holy place inside the veil, before the 1mercy seat which is on the ark, so that he will not die; for bI will appear in the cloud over the mercy seat.
3 Aaron shall enter the holy place with this: with a bull from the herd for a asin offering and a ram for a burnt offering. 4 He shall put on the aholy linen tunic, and the linen undergarments shall be next to his 1body, and he shall be girded with the linen sash and attired with the linen turban (these are holy garments). Then he shall bbathe his 1body in water and put them on. 5 And he shall take from the congregation of the sons of Israel atwo male goats for a sin offering and one ram for a burnt offering. 6 Then aAaron shall bring near the bull for the sin offering which is for himself, that he may make atonement for himself and for his household. 7 And he shall take the two goats and present them before Yahweh at the doorway of the tent of meeting. 8 And Aaron shall cast lots for the two goats, one lot for Yahweh and the other lot for the 1scapegoat. 9 Then Aaron shall bring near the goat on which the lot for Yahweh fell, and he shall offer it as a sin offering. 10 But the goat on which the lot for the 1scapegoat fell shall be presented alive before Yahweh, to make aatonement upon it, to send it out into the wilderness as the 1scapegoat.
11 “Then Aaron shall bring near the bull of the sin offering, awhich is for himself, and make atonement for himself and bfor his household, and he shall slaughter the bull of the sin offering which is for himself.
12 And he shall take a afirepan full of coals of fire from upon the altar before Yahweh and 1two handfuls of finely ground bfragrant incense, and bring it inside the veil. 13 And he shall put the incense on the fire before Yahweh, that the cloud of incense may cover the amercy seat that is on the ark of the testimony, bso that he will not die.
