Levítico 16:1-7

1 El SEÑOR habló a Moisés después de la muerte de los hijos de Aarón, cuando se acercaron a la presencia del SEÑOR y murieron.
2 Dijo el SEÑOR a Moisés: Di a tu hermano Aarón que no en todo tiempo entre en el lugar santo detrás del velo, delante del propiciatorio que está sobre el arca, no sea que muera; porque yo apareceré en la nube sobre el propiciatorio.
3 Aarón podrá entrar en el lugar santo con esto: con un novillo para ofrenda por el pecado y un carnero para holocausto.
4 Se vestirá con la túnica sagrada de lino, y los calzoncillos de lino estarán sobre sus carnes, y se ceñirá con el cinturón de lino y se cubrirá con la tiara de lino (estas son vestiduras sagradas). Lavará, pues, su cuerpo con agua y se vestirá con ellas.
5 Y tomará de la congregación de los hijos de Israel dos machos cabríos para ofrenda por el pecado y un carnero para holocausto.
6 Entonces Aarón ofrecerá el novillo como ofrenda por el pecado, que es por sí mismo, para hacer expiación por sí mismo y por su casa.
7 Y tomará los dos machos cabríos y los presentará delante del SEÑOR a la entrada de la tienda de reunión.

Levítico 16:1-7 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO LEVITICUS 16

This chapter treats of the day of atonement, and of the rites, sacrifices, and services of it, directs when Aaron should come into the holy of holies, Le 16:1,2; and in what habit he should then appear, and with what offerings both for himself, and for the people, Le 16:3-10; and that having slain his own sin offering, and that for the people, he should offer incense before the mercy seat, and sprinkle that with the blood of both, Le 16:11-15; and by these offerings make atonement for the holy place, the tabernacle of the congregation, and the altar, Le 16:16-19; and having done this, he was to take the live goat, lay his hands on it, confess over it, and put upon it all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and then send it away by a fit man into the wilderness, Le 16:20-22; upon which he was to put off his linen garments, wash his flesh, and put them on again, and offer the burnt offering for himself, and for the people, Le 16:23-25; also he that let go the goat, and he that carried and burnt the sin offerings without the camp, were to wash themselves and clothes also, Le 16:26-28; the observance of this day, once a year, which was on the tenth of the seventh month, as a day of affliction and atonement, was to be a statute for ever to the children of Israel, Le 16:29-34.
