Bible in Basic English

23

Then let Aaron come into the Tent of meeting and take off the linen clothing which he put on when he went into the holy place, and put them down there;

24

And after bathing his body in water in a holy place, he is to put on his clothing and come out and give his burned offering and the burned offering of the people, to take away his sin and the sin of the people.

25

And the fat of the sin-offering is to be burned by him on the altar.

26

And the man who takes away the goat for Azazel is to have his clothing washed and his body bathed in water and then he may come back to the tent-circle.

27

And the ox of the sin-offering and the goat of the sin-offering, whose blood was taken in to make the holy place free from sin, are to be taken away outside the tent-circle and their skins and their flesh and their waste are to be burned with fire.

28

And the man by whom they are burned is to have his clothing washed and his body bathed in water, and then he may come back to the tent-circle.

29

And let this be an order to you for ever: in the seventh month, on the tenth day, you are to keep yourselves from pleasure and do no sort of work, those who are Israelites by birth and those from other lands who are living among you:

30

For on this day your sin will be taken away and you will be clean: you will be made free from all your sins before the Lord.

31

It is a special Sabbath for you, and you are to keep yourselves from pleasure; it is an order for ever.

32

And the man on whose head the holy oil has been put, and who has been marked out to be a priest in his father's place, will do what is necessary to take away sin, and will put on the linen clothing, even the holy robes:

33

And he will make the holy place and the Tent of meeting and the altar free from sin; he will take away sin from the priests and from all the people.

34

And let this be an order for ever for you, so that the sin of the children of Israel may be taken away once every year. And he did as the Lord gave orders to Moses.
