he has with him for the simoffering, and expiate for the sins of himself, and the family of his own house; then take the two goats and place them before the Evsnmiviuo, at the door of the Hall of Assembly; where Aaron shall cast lots over the two goats ;·-—to allot one to the ETER- LIVING and allot the other asascape· goat. Aaron shall afterwards sacri~ lice the goat which the lot came upon for the EVER-LIVING; and the goat which the lot came upon for a scape- goat, he shall place alive before the EVER-L1v1NG, to expiate with it, by sending it as a scapegoat into the field. ‘Aaron shall next sacrince the

bull on account of his own sins, and expiate for himself, and on account of his own house; and slay the bull for his own sins. Then he shall take a shovelful of burning coals from off the altar before the EvER—L1v1No, and fill his hand with sweet incense powder, and bring it from the house to the veil, and put the incense on to the fire before the EVER-LIVING, and the cloud from the incense shall cover the veil that is over the wit- nesses,··-and he shall not die. ‘ Let him next take some of the

blood of the bull and sprinkle with his forefinger before the veil towards the east; and before the expiatories he shall sprinkle the blood seven times with his hnger; then slay the goat that is for the sins of the nation, and bring some of its blood from the house to the veil, and do with that blood as he did with the blood of the bull, and sprinkle some of it upon the veil, and before the veil, and expiate for the sins of the children of Israel, and for their re- bellions with all their sins; and do the same to the Hall of Assembly which is erected in the midst of their sins; and no person shall be in the Hall of Assembly when he goes to expiate in the sanctuary, when he expiates on account of himself, and on account of his house, and for the whole congregation of Israel. Then he shall come to the altar that is before the EVER-LIVING and expiate for himself, and take some of the blood ofthe bull, and some of the blood of the ram,and put upon the horns at the side of the altar, and sprinkle some of the blood with his forefinger seven times, and purify it, and sanc- tify himself from the sins of the children of Israel. When he has finished expiating for the sanctuary, and the Hall of Assembly, and the altar;—-—he shall then present the live goat; and Aaron shall lay his two hands upon the head of the live goat, and confess upon it the whole of the frailties of the children of Israel, and the whole of their faults, and the whole of their sins, and lay them upon the head of the goat, and send it by the hand of a man of My People into the desert ; and that goat shall carry upon itself the whole of their frailties to the land of forgetful- ness; thus the goat shall be sent to the desert. ‘Aaron shall next goto the Hall

of Assembly, and strip off from him— self the robes with which he was clothed at his going to the sanctuary, and leave them there; and bathe his body in water in the Holy Place, then put on his robes, and come and offer the burnboffering for himself, and the burnboffering for the nation, and expiate on account of himself and on account of the nation; and burn the fat of the sin-offerings with incense upon the altar.
