Leviticus 16:2
16:2 and the
Lord said to Moses: “Tell Aaron your brother that he must not enter at any time into the holy place inside the veil-canopy
in front of the atonement plate
that is on the ark so that he may not die, for I will appear in the cloud over the atonement plate.
Leviticus 16:12-15
16:12 and take a censer full of coals of fire from the altar before the
Lord and a full double handful of finely ground fragrant incense,
and bring them inside the veil-canopy.
16:13 He must then put the incense on the fire before the
Lord, and the cloud of incense will cover the atonement plate which is above the ark of the testimony,
so that he will not die.
16:14 Then he is to take some of the blood of the bull and sprinkle it with his finger on the eastern face of the atonement plate,
and in front of the atonement plate he is to sprinkle some of the blood seven times with his finger.
16:15 “He must then slaughter the sin offering goat which is for the people. He is to bring its blood inside the veil-canopy, and he is to do with its blood just as he did to the blood of the bull: He is to sprinkle it on the atonement plate and in front of the atonement plate.
Leviticus 16:17
16:17 Nobody is to be in the Meeting Tent
when he enters to make atonement in the holy place until he goes out, and he has made atonement on his behalf, on behalf of his household, and on behalf of the whole assembly of Israel.
