1And the LORD spake unto Moses after the death of the two sons of Aaron, when they offered before the LORD, and died; 2And 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. 3Thus shall Aaron come into the holy place: with a young bullock for a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering. 4He 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.
5And 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. 6And Aaron shall offer his bullock of the sin offering, which is for himself, and make an atonement for himself, and for his house. 7And he shall take the two goats, and present them before the LORD at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. 8And Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats; one lot for the LORD, and the other lot for the scapegoat.16.8 scapegoat: Heb. Azazel 9And Aaron shall bring the goat upon which the LORD’s lot fell, and offer him for a sin offering.16.9 fell: Heb. went up 10But 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. 11And 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: 12And 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: 13And 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: 14And 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: 16And 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.16.16 remaineth: Heb. dwelleth 17And 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. 18And 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. 19And 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: 21And 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:16.21 a fit…: Heb. a man of opportunity 22And the goat shall bear upon him all their iniquities unto a land not inhabited: and he shall let go the goat in the wilderness.16.22 not…: Heb. of separation 23And 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: 24And 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. 25And the fat of the sin offering shall he burn upon the altar. 26And 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. 27And 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. 28And 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: 30For 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. 31It shall be a sabbath of rest unto you, and ye shall afflict your souls, by a statute for ever. 32And 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:16.32 consecrate: Heb. fill his hand 33And 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. 34And 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.

贖罪の日
1-2アロンの二人の息子が主の前に近づいて死んだのち、主はモーセに告げました。「あなたの兄アロンによく言っておきなさい。勝手に垂れ幕の奥の聖所(至聖所と呼ばれる)に入り、契約の箱(十戒が納められている)の上の『恵みの座』に近づいてはならない。死なないためである。『恵みの座』にかかる雲の中に、わたしは現れるからだ。
3アロンがそこに入るときは、次のようにしなさい。若い雄牛を罪の赦しのためのいけにえとして、また、焼き尽くすいけにえとして用意し、 4体を洗い、神聖な亜麻布の長服、下着、帯、ターバンを必ず身に着けなさい。 5それから、罪の赦しのためのいけにえに雄やぎ二頭、焼き尽くすいけにえに雄羊一頭を、会衆から受け取る。 6アロンはまず自分のために、罪の赦しのために若い雄牛をささげ、自分と家族の罪の償いをする。 7続いて、主の前、幕屋の入口にやぎ二頭を引いて来て、 8くじを引き、神のものになるほうと、すべての民の罪の身代わりに荒野へ放つほうを決める。 9主のものと決まったほうを、罪の赦しのためのいけにえとする。 10もう一頭は、生かしたままで主の前に置く。罪を償う儀式を行ったら、すべての民の罪の身代わりとして荒野へ放つ。
11自分と家族の罪が赦されるために若い雄牛をささげたあと、 12アロンは主の祭壇から炭火を火皿いっぱいに取り、細かく砕いた香り高い香を両手いっぱいにつかんで垂れ幕の奥に入る。 13そこで主の前に香を炭火にくべる。香の煙が契約の箱の上の『恵みの座』を包むようにする。こうすればアロンは死なない。 14次に、若い雄牛の血を持ってもう一度中へ入り、指につけて『恵みの座』の東側に振りかけ、前面にも七回振りかける。
15それが終わったら出て行って、民の罪が赦されるためのいけにえとしてやぎをほふり、その血を垂れ幕の奥へ持って入り、若い雄牛のときと同じように、『恵みの座』の上と前面に振りかける。 16このようにして、アロンは至聖所の汚れをきよめる。至聖所が人々の罪で汚されたからだ。人々のただ中にあって、汚れに囲まれている幕屋のためにも、同様にする。 17アロンが聖所に入って罪の償いをするときは、自分と家族と全イスラエル人のために罪の償いをして出て来るまで、だれひとり幕屋に入ってはならない。 18それがすんだら、主の前にある祭壇の汚れをきよめる。若い雄牛とやぎの血を祭壇の角に塗る。 19また、指に血をつけて祭壇に七回振りかける。こうして、祭壇を全イスラエル人の罪からきよめ、神聖なものとする。
20至聖所と幕屋全体と祭壇をきよめる儀式が終わったら、アロンはもう一頭の生きているやぎを引いて来て、 21その頭に両手を置き、民の犯した罪をすべて告白する。すべての罪をやぎの頭に載せ、特別その仕事に任じられた者が荒野に放つ。 22やぎは人々のすべての罪を背負ったまま無人の地へ引いて行かれ、荒野に放たれる。
23それからアロンはまた幕屋に入り、垂れ幕の奥へ入るときにつけていた亜麻布の装束を脱ぐ。服はそこへ置いたままにして、 24神聖な場所で体を洗い、大祭司のいつもの服に着替えて外へ出て、自分と民のために、焼き尽くすいけにえをささげ、罪の償いをする。 25罪の赦しのためのいけにえの脂肪も祭壇で焼く。 26やぎを荒野へ引いて行った者は、衣服と体を洗ってから野営地に戻る。 27罪の赦しのためのいけにえにした若い雄牛とやぎの死骸で、アロンが至聖所内で罪の償いの儀式に使ったものは野営地の外に運び出し、皮も内臓もみな焼き捨てる。 28これを焼く者は、衣服と体を洗ったあと野営地へ戻る。
29-30これから命じることは、あなたがたが永遠に守るべきおきてである。毎年第七の月の十日(太陽暦では九月二十四日)は何の仕事もせず、謙虚に自分を反省する日としなさい。イスラエル人も共に住む外国人も区別はない。この日は、すべての罪が赦され、神の目から見てきよい者と認められる、罪の償いの日だからだ。 31完全な休息の日として、身も心も静め、謙遜な思いで一日を過ごしなさい。これは永遠のおきてである。 32アロンの死後も、彼の後継者として油を注がれる大祭司が、代々この儀式をとり行う。神聖な亜麻布の装束を身にまとい、 33聖所、幕屋、祭壇、祭司、全国民の汚れをきよめ、罪の償いをしなさい。 34くり返すが、これはイスラエルの永遠のおきてであり、年に一度、すべての民の罪が赦されるためになされるものである。」
35アロンは、主がモーセに指示したとおり、すべて行いました。
