Leviticus 16:20-34 (Good News Translation)
20 "When Aaron has finished performing the ritual to purify the Most
Holy Place, the rest of the Tent of the LORD's presence, and the
altar, he shall present to the LORD the live goat chosen for Azazel.
21 He shall put both of his hands on the goat's head and confess over
it all the evils, sins, and rebellions of the people of Israel, and so
transfer them to the goat's head. Then the goat is to be driven off
into the desert by someone appointed to do it. 22 The goat will carry
all their sins away with him into some uninhabited land. 23 Then Aaron
shall go into the Tent, take off the priestly garments that he had put
on before entering the Most Holy Place, and leave them there. 24 He
must take a bath in a holy place and put on his own clothes. After
that, he shall go out and offer the burnt offering to remove his own
sins and those of the people. 25 He shall burn on the altar the fat of
the animal for the sin offering. 26 The man who drove the goat into
the desert to Azazel must wash his clothes and take a bath before he
comes back into camp. 27 The bull and the goat used for the sin
offering, whose blood was brought into the Most Holy Place to take
away sin, shall be carried outside the camp and burned. Skin, meat,
and intestines shall all be burned. 28 The one who burns them must
wash his clothes and take a bath before he returns to camp. 29 The
following regulations are to be observed for all time to come. On the
tenth day of the seventh month the Israelites and the foreigners
living among them must fast and must not do any work. 30 On that day
the ritual is to be performed to purify them from all their sins, so
that they will be ritually clean. 31 That day is to be a very holy
day, one on which they fast and do no work at all. These regulations
are to be observed for all time to come. 32 The High Priest, properly
ordained and consecrated to succeed his father, is to perform the
ritual of purification. He shall put on the priestly garments 33 and
perform the ritual to purify the Most Holy Place, the rest of the Tent
of the LORD's presence, the altar, the priests, and all the people of
the community. 34 These regulations are to be observed for all time to
come. This ritual must be performed once a year to purify the people
of Israel from all their sins. So Moses did as the LORD had
commanded."
God bless you.
