Levítico 16:29-34

29 Esto tendréis por estatuto perpetuo: En el mes séptimo, a los diez del mes, afligiréis vuestras almas, y ninguna obra haréis, ni el natural ni el extranjero que peregrina entre vosotros

30 Porque en este día se os reconciliará para limpiaros; y seréis limpios de todos vuestros pecados delante del SEÑOR

31 Sábado de reposo será para vosotros, y afligiréis vuestras almas, por estatuto perpetuo

32 Y hará la reconciliación el sacerdote que fuere ungido, y cuya mano hubiere sido llena para ser sacerdote en lugar de su padre; y se vestirá los vestidos de lino, los vestidos santos

33 y reconciliará el santuario santo, y el tabernáculo del testimonio; reconciliará también el altar, y a los sacerdotes, y a todo el pueblo de la congregación

34 Y esto tendréis por estatuto perpetuo, para reconciliar a los hijos de Israel de todos sus pecados una vez en el año. Y Moisés lo hizo como el SEÑOR le mandó

Levítico 16:29-34 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.
