Leviticus

The third book of Moses, called Leviticus, chapter 16, Vulgate and King James Version

Chapter 16 Vulgate

   1 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen post mortem duum filiorum Aaron, quando appropinquantes in conspectum Domini interfecti sunt,
   2 et praecepit ei dicens: "Loquere ad Aaron fratrem tuum, ne omni tempore ingrediatur sanctuarium, quod est intra velum coram propitiatorio, quo tegitur arca, ut non moriatur, quia in nube apparebo super propitiatorium;
   3 sed hoc modo ingrediatur: vitulum offeret pro peccato et arietem in holocaustum;
   4 subucula linea sancta vestietur, feminalibus lineis verecunda celabit, accingetur zona linea, cidarim lineam imponet capiti. Haec enim vestimenta sunt sancta, quibus cunctis, cum lotus fuerit, induetur.
   5 Suscipietque a coetu filiorum Israel duos hircos in sacrificium pro peccato et unum arietem in holocaustum.
   6 Cumque obtulerit vitulum in sacrificium suum pro peccato et expiaverit se et domum suam,
   7 duos hircos stare faciet coram Domino in ostio tabernaculi conventus,
   8 mittens super utrumque sortem, unam Domino et alteram Azazel.
   9 Cuius sors exierit Domino, offeret illum pro peccato;
   10 cuius autem in Azazel, statuet eum vivum coram Domino in expiationem, ut emittat illum ad Azazel in solitudinem.
   11 Afferet ergo Aaron vitulum pro peccato et expians se et domum suam immolabit eum;
   12 assumptoque turibulo, quod de prunis altaris coram Domino impleverit, et hauriens manu compositum thymiama in incensum ultra velum intrabit in sancta,
   13 ut, positis super ignem aromatibus coram Domino, nebula eorum et vapor operiat propitiatorium, quod est super testimonium, et non moriatur.
   14 Tollet quoque de sanguine vituli et asperget digito septies contra frontem propitiatorii.
   15 Cumque mactaverit hircum pro peccato populi, inferet sanguinem eius intra velum, sicut praeceptum est de sanguine vituli, ut aspergat e regione propitiatorii
   16 et expiet sanctuarium ab immunditiis filiorum Israel et a praevaricationibus eorum cunctisque peccatis. Iuxta hunc ritum faciet tabernaculo conventus, quod fixum est inter eos in medio sordium habitationis eorum.
   17 Nullus hominum sit in tabernaculo conventus, quando pontifex ingreditur sanctuarium, ut expiet se et domum suam et universam congregationem Israel, donec egrediatur.
   18 Cum autem exierit ad altare, quod coram Domino est, expiabit illud et sumptum sanguinem vituli atque hirci fundet super cornua eius per gyrum;
   19 aspergensque de sanguine digito septies mundabit sanctificabitque illud ab immunditiis filiorum Israel.
   20 Et postquam compleverit expiationem sanctuarii et tabernaculi conventus et altaris, tunc afferat hircum viventem;
   21 et, posita utraque manu super caput eius, confiteatur Aaron super eum omnes iniquitates filiorum Israel et universa delicta atque peccata eorum; quae ponens super caput eius emittet illum per hominem paratum in desertum.
   22 Cumque portaverit hircus super se omnes iniquitates eorum in terram solitariam et dimissus fuerit in desertum,
   23 ingredietur Aaron in tabernaculum conventus; et, depositis vestibus lineis, quibus prius indutus erat, cum intraret sanctuarium, relictisque ibi,
   24 lavabit carnem suam aqua in loco sancto indueturque vestimentis suis. Et postquam egressus obtulerit holocaustum suum ac plebis, expiabit se et populum;
   25 et adipem sacrificii pro peccato adolebit super altare.
   26 Ille vero, qui dimiserit caprum emissarium ad Azazel, lavabit vestimenta sua et corpus aqua et postea ingredietur in castra.
   27 Vitulum autem et hircum, qui pro peccato fuerant immolati, et quorum sanguis illatus est, ut in sanctuario expiatio compleretur, asportabunt foras castra et comburent igni tam pelles quam carnes eorum et fimum;
   28 et quicumque combusserit ea, lavabit vestimenta sua et carnem aqua et postea ingredietur in castra.
   29 Eritque hoc vobis legitimum sempiternum: mense septimo, decima die mensis affligetis animas vestras nullumque facietis opus sive indigena sive advena, qui peregrinatur inter vos.
   30 In hac die expiatio erit vestri atque mundatio; ab omnibus peccatis vestris coram Domino mundabimini.
   31 Sabbatum requietionis est vobis, et affligetis animas vestras religione perpetua.
   32 Expiabit autem sacerdos, qui unctus fuerit, et cuius initiatae manus, ut sacerdotio fungatur pro patre suo; indueturque vestimentis lineis, vestibus sanctis,
   33 et expiabit sanctuarium sanctissimum et tabernaculum conventus atque altare, sacerdotes quoque et universum populum congregationis.
   34 Eritque hoc vobis legitimum sempiternum, ut expietis filios Israel a cunctis peccatis eorum semel in anno" Fecit igitur, sicut praeceperat Dominus Moysi.

King James Version

   1 And the LORD spake unto Moses after the death of the two sons of Aaron, when they offered before the LORD, and died;
   2 And the LORD said unto Moses, Speak unto Aaron thy brother, that he come not at all times into the holy place within the vail before the mercy seat, which is upon the ark; that he die not: for I will appear in the cloud upon the mercy seat.
   3 Thus shall Aaron come into the holy place: with a young bullock for a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering.
   4 He shall put on the holy linen coat, and he shall have the linen breeches upon his flesh, and shall be girded with a linen girdle, and with the linen mitre shall he be attired: these are holy garments; therefore shall he wash his flesh in water, and so put them on.
   5 And he shall take of the congregation of the children of Israel two kids of the goats for a sin offering, and one ram for a burnt offering.
   6 And Aaron shall offer his bullock of the sin offering, which is for himself, and make an atonement for himself, and for his house.
   7 And he shall take the two goats, and present them before the LORD at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
   8 And Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats; one lot for the LORD, and the other lot for the scapegoat.
   9 And Aaron shall bring the goat upon which the LORD'S lot fell, and offer him for a sin offering.
   10 But the goat, on which the lot fell to be the scapegoat, shall be presented alive before the LORD, to make an atonement with him, and to let him go for a scapegoat into the wilderness.
   11 And Aaron shall bring the bullock of the sin offering, which is for himself, and shall make an atonement for himself, and for his house, and shall kill the bullock of the sin offering which is for himself:
   12 And he shall take a censer full of burning coals of fire from off the altar before the LORD, and his hands full of sweet incense beaten small, and bring it within the vail:
   13 And he shall put the incense upon the fire before the LORD, that the cloud of the incense may cover the mercy seat that is upon the testimony, that he die not:
   14 And he shall take of the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it with his finger upon the mercy seat eastward; and before the mercy seat shall he sprinkle of the blood with his finger seven times.
   15 ¶ Then shall he kill the goat of the sin offering, that is for the people, and bring his blood within the vail, and do with that blood as he did with the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it upon the mercy seat, and before the mercy seat:
   16 And he shall make an atonement for the holy place, because of the uncleanness of the children of Israel, and because of their transgressions in all their sins: and so shall he do for the tabernacle of the congregation, that remaineth among them in the midst of their uncleanness.
   17 And there shall be no man in the tabernacle of the congregation when he goeth in to make an atonement in the holy place, until he come out, and have made an atonement for himself, and for his household, and for all the congregation of Israel.
   18 And he shall go out unto the altar that is before the LORD, and make an atonement for it; and shall take of the blood of the bullock, and of the blood of the goat, and put it upon the horns of the altar round about.
   19 And he shall sprinkle of the blood upon it with his finger seven times, and cleanse it, and hallow it from the uncleanness of the children of Israel.
   20 ¶ And when he hath made an end of reconciling the holy place, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and the altar, he shall bring the live goat:
   21 And Aaron shall lay both his hands upon the head of the live goat, and confess over him all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions in all their sins, putting them upon the head of the goat, and shall send him away by the hand of a fit man into the wilderness:
   22 And the goat shall bear upon him all their iniquities unto a land not inhabited: and he shall let go the goat in the wilderness.
   23 And Aaron shall come into the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall put off the linen garments, which he put on when he went into the holy place, and shall leave them there:
   24 And he shall wash his flesh with water in the holy place, and put on his garments, and come forth, and offer his burnt offering, and the burnt offering of the people, and make an atonement for himself, and for the people.
   25 And the fat of the sin offering shall he burn upon the altar.
   26 And he that let go the goat for the scapegoat shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward come into the camp.
   27 And the bullock for the sin offering, and the goat for the sin offering, whose blood was brought in to make atonement in the holy place, shall one carry forth without the camp; and they shall burn in the fire their skins, and their flesh, and their dung.
   28 And he that burneth them shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp.
   29 ¶ And this shall be a statute for ever unto you: that in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, ye shall afflict your souls, and do no work at all, whether it be one of your own country, or a stranger that sojourneth among you:
   30 For on that day shall the priest make an atonement for you, to cleanse you, that ye may be clean from all your sins before the LORD.
   31 It shall be a sabbath of rest unto you, and ye shall afflict your souls, by a statute for ever.
   32 And the priest, whom he shall anoint, and whom he shall consecrate to minister in the priest's office in his father's stead, shall make the atonement, and shall put on the linen clothes, even the holy garments:
   33 And he shall make an atonement for the holy sanctuary, and he shall make an atonement for the tabernacle of the congregation, and for the altar, and he shall make an atonement for the priests, and for all the people of the congregation.
   34 And this shall be an everlasting statute unto you, to make an atonement for the children of Israel for all their sins once a year. And he did as the LORD commanded Moses.
