Then Moses said to Aaron and to Eleazar and Ithamar his other two sons, &#8220;Do not<n id="1" /> dishevel the hair of your heads<n id="2" /> and do not tear your garments, so that you do not die and so that wrath does not come on the whole congregation. Your brothers, all the house of Israel, are to mourn the burning which the <sc>Lordsc> has caused,<n id="3" />

<t /><p class="bodytext">Then Moses spoke to Aaron and to Eleazar and Ithamar, his remaining sons, &#8220;Take the grain offering which remains from the gifts of the <sc>Lordsc> and eat it unleavened beside the altar, for it is most holy.

But Aaron spoke to Moses, &#8220;See here!<n id="1" /> Just today they presented their sin offering and their burnt offering before the <sc>Lordsc> and such things as these have happened to me! If I had eaten a sin offering today would the <sc>Lordsc> have been pleased?&#8221;<n id="2" />

&#8220;When someone has<n id="1" /> a swelling<n id="2" /> or a scab<n id="3" /> or a bright spot<n id="4" /> on the skin of his body<n id="5" /> that may become a diseased infection,<n id="6" /> he must be brought to Aaron the priest or one of his sons, the priests.<n id="7" />

and the <sc>Lordsc> said to Moses: &#8220;Tell Aaron your brother that he must not enter at any time into the holy place inside the veil-canopy<n id="1" /> in front of the atonement plate<n id="2" /> that is on the ark so that he may not die, for I will appear in the cloud over the atonement plate.p>

No man from the descendants of Aaron the priest who has a physical flaw may step forward<n id="1" /> to present the <sc>Lordsc>&#8217;s gifts; he has a physical flaw, so he must not step forward to present the food of his God.

&#8220;Tell Aaron and his sons that they must deal respectfully with the holy offerings<n id="1" /> of the Israelites, which they consecrate to me, so that they do not profane my holy name.<n id="2" /> I am the <sc>Lordsc>.

No man<n id="1" /> from the descendants of Aaron who is diseased or has a discharge<n id="2" /> may eat the holy offerings until he becomes clean. The one<n id="3" /> who touches anything made unclean by contact with a dead person,<n id="4" /> or a man who has a seminal emission,<n id="5" />

&#8220;Speak to Aaron, his sons, and all the Israelites and tell them, &#8216;When any man<n id="1" /> from the house of Israel or from the foreigners in Israel<n id="2" /> presents his offering for any of the votive or freewill offerings which they present to the <sc>Lordsc> as a burnt offering,

Aaron is to lay his two hands on the head of the live goat and confess over it all the iniquities of the Israelites and all their transgressions in regard to all their sins,<n id="1" /> and thus he is to put them<n id="2" /> on the head of the goat and send it away into the wilderness by the hand of a man standing ready.<n id="3" />
