Leviticus 16:3-15 Modern English Version (MEV)

3. Thus Aaron shall come into the Holy Place with a young bull for a sin offering and a ram for a burnt offering.

4. He shall put on the holy linen tunic, and he shall have the linen undergarment on his body, and shall be girded with a linen sash, and shall be wearing the linen turban. These are holy garments. Therefore he shall wash his body in water and then put them on.

5. He shall take from the congregation of the children of Israel two male goats for a sin offering and one ram for a burnt offering.

6. Aaron shall offer his bull for the sin offering, which is for himself, and make atonement for himself and for his house.

7. Then he shall take the two goats and present them before the Lord at the entrance of the tent of meeting.

8. Aaron shall cast lots for the two goats: one lot for the Lord and the other lot for the scapegoat.

9. Aaron shall bring the goat on which the lot of the Lord falls and offer him for a sin offering.

10. But the goat on which the lot falls to be the scapegoat shall be presented alive before the Lord to make atonement with it, that it may be sent away as a scapegoat into the wilderness.

11. Aaron shall bring the bull of the sin offering, which is for himself, and shall make atonement for himself, and for his house, and shall kill the bull of the sin offering for himself.

12. And he shall take a censer full of burning coals of fire from the altar before the Lord, and two handfuls of sweet incense beaten small, and bring it within the veil.

13. And he shall put the incense on the fire before the Lord, that the cloud of the incense may cover the mercy seat that is over the testimony, so that he does not die.

14. And he shall take of the blood of the bull, and sprinkle it with his finger on the mercy seat on the eastern side, and before the mercy seat he shall sprinkle from the blood with his finger seven times.

15. Then he shall kill the goat of the sin offering, which is for the people, and bring its blood within the veil, and do with that blood as he did with the blood of the bull, and sprinkle it over and in front of the mercy seat.
