Leviticus 16:1 – 18:30

Second Aliyah



16:18
He shall then go out to the altar that is before God, and make atonement on it. He shall [do this by] taking some of the bull’s and goat’s blood, and placing [the mixture] on the altar’s horns all around.
Veyatsa el-hamizbe’ach asher lifney-Adonay vechiper alav velakach midam hapar umidam hasa’ir venatan al-karnot hamizbe’ach saviv.
וְיָצָא, אֶל-הַמִּזְבֵּחַ אֲשֶׁר לִפְנֵי-יְהוָה–וְכִפֶּר עָלָיו; וְלָקַח מִדַּם הַפָּר, וּמִדַּם הַשָּׂעִיר, וְנָתַן עַל-קַרְנוֹת הַמִּזְבֵּחַ, סָבִיב.

16:19
He shall sprinkle the blood on it seven times with his forefinger. Through this, he shall purify and sanctify it from any defilement on the part of the Israelites.
Vehizah alav min-hadam be’etsba’o sheva pe’amim vetiharo vekidsho mitum’ot beney Yisra’el.
וְהִזָּה עָלָיו מִן-הַדָּם בְּאֶצְבָּעוֹ, שֶׁבַע פְּעָמִים; וְטִהֲרוֹ וְקִדְּשׁוֹ, מִטֻּמְאֹת בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל.

16:20
When he thus finishes making atonement in the [inner] sanctuary, in the Communion Tent, and on the altar, he shall present the live goat.
Vechilah mikaper et-hakodesh ve’et-Ohel Mo’ed ve’et-hamizbe’ach vehikriv et-hasa’ir hechay.
וְכִלָּה מִכַּפֵּר אֶת-הַקֹּדֶשׁ, וְאֶת-אֹהֶל מוֹעֵד וְאֶת-הַמִּזְבֵּחַ; וְהִקְרִיב, אֶת-הַשָּׂעִיר הֶחָי.

16:21
Aaron shall press both his hands on the live goat’s head, and he shall confess on it all the Israelites’ sins, rebellious acts and inadvertent misdeeds. When he has thus placed them on the goat’s head, he shall send it to the desert with a specially prepared man.
Vesamach Aharon et-shtey yadav al-rosh hasa’ir hachay vehitvadah alav et-kol-avonot beney Yisra’el ve’et-kol-pish’eyhem lechol-chatotam venatan otam al-rosh hasa’ir veshilach beyad-ish iti hamidbarah.
וְסָמַךְ אַהֲרֹן אֶת-שְׁתֵּי יָדָו, עַל רֹאשׁ הַשָּׂעִיר הַחַי, וְהִתְוַדָּה עָלָיו אֶת-כָּל-עֲו‍ֹנֹת בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל, וְאֶת-כָּל-פִּשְׁעֵיהֶם לְכָל-חַטֹּאתָם; וְנָתַן אֹתָם עַל-רֹאשׁ הַשָּׂעִיר, וְשִׁלַּח בְּיַד-אִישׁ עִתִּי הַמִּדְבָּרָה.

16:22
The goat will thus carry all the sins away to a desolate area when it is sent to the desert.
Venasa hasa’ir alav et-kol-avonotam el-erets gezerah veshilach et-hasa’ir bamidbar.
וְנָשָׂא הַשָּׂעִיר עָלָיו אֶת-כָּל-עֲו‍ֹנֹתָם, אֶל-אֶרֶץ גְּזֵרָה; וְשִׁלַּח אֶת-הַשָּׂעִיר, בַּמִּדְבָּר.

16:23
Aaron shall then go into the Communion Tent, and take off the white linen vestments that he wore when he entered the [inner] sanctuary. He shall leave [these vestments] there.
Uva Aharon el-Ohel Mo’ed ufashat et-bigdey habad asher lavash bevo’o el-hakodesh vehinicham sham.
וּבָא אַהֲרֹן, אֶל-אֹהֶל מוֹעֵד, וּפָשַׁט אֶת-בִּגְדֵי הַבָּד, אֲשֶׁר לָבַשׁ בְּבֹאוֹ אֶל-הַקֹּדֶשׁ; וְהִנִּיחָם, שָׁם.

16:24
He shall immerse his body in a mikvah in the sanctified area, and put on his [regular] vestments. He shall then go out and complete his own burnt offering and the people’s burnt offering, thus atoning for himself and the people.
Verachats et-besaro vamayim bemakom kadosh velavash et-begadav veyatsa ve’asah et-olato ve’et-olat ha’am vechiper ba’ado uve’ad ha’am.
וְרָחַץ אֶת-בְּשָׂרוֹ בַמַּיִם בְּמָקוֹם קָדוֹשׁ, וְלָבַשׁ אֶת-בְּגָדָיו; וְיָצָא, וְעָשָׂה אֶת-עֹלָתוֹ וְאֶת-עֹלַת הָעָם, וְכִפֶּר בַּעֲדוֹ, וּבְעַד הָעָם.
