Torah Trek 70 "Because of all their sins once in the year"

Leviticus 16

יח  וְיָצָא, אֶל-הַמִּזְבֵּחַ אֲשֶׁר לִפְנֵי-יְהוָה--וְכִפֶּר עָלָיו; וְלָקַח מִדַּם הַפָּר, וּמִדַּם הַשָּׂעִיר, וְנָתַן עַל-קַרְנוֹת הַמִּזְבֵּחַ, סָבִיב.    18 

And he shall go out unto the altar that is before the LORD, and make 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.

יט  וְהִזָּה עָלָיו מִן-הַדָּם בְּאֶצְבָּעוֹ, שֶׁבַע פְּעָמִים; וְטִהֲרוֹ וְקִדְּשׁוֹ, מִטֻּמְאֹת בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל.    19 
And he shall sprinkle of the blood upon it with his finger seven times, and cleanse it, and hallow it from the uncleannesses of the sons of Israel.

כ  וְכִלָּה מִכַּפֵּר אֶת-הַקֹּדֶשׁ, וְאֶת-אֹהֶל מוֹעֵד וְאֶת-הַמִּזְבֵּחַ; וְהִקְרִיב, אֶת-הַשָּׂעִיר הֶחָי.    20 
And when he hath made an end of atoning for the holy place, and the tent of meeting, and the altar, he shall present the live goat.

כא  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.    21 
And Aaron shall lay both his hands upon the head of the live goat, and confess over him all the iniquities of the sons of Israel, and all their transgressions, even all their sins; 
and he shall put them upon the head of the goat, and shall send him away by the hand of an appointed man into the wilderness.

כב  וְנָשָׂא הַשָּׂעִיר עָלָיו אֶת-כָּל-עֲו‍ֹנֹתָם, אֶל-אֶרֶץ גְּזֵרָה; וְשִׁלַּח אֶת-הַשָּׂעִיר, בַּמִּדְבָּר.    22 
And the goat shall bear upon him all their iniquities unto a land which is cut off; 
and he shall let go the goat in the wilderness.

כג  וּבָא אַהֲרֹן, אֶל-אֹהֶל מוֹעֵד, וּפָשַׁט אֶת-בִּגְדֵי הַבָּד, אֲשֶׁר לָבַשׁ בְּבֹאוֹ אֶל-הַקֹּדֶשׁ; וְהִנִּיחָם, שָׁם.    23 
And Aaron shall come into the tent of meeting, and shall put off the linen garments, which he put on when he went into the holy place, and shall leave them there.

כד  וְרָחַץ אֶת-בְּשָׂרוֹ בַמַּיִם בְּמָקוֹם קָדוֹשׁ, וְלָבַשׁ אֶת-בְּגָדָיו; וְיָצָא, וְעָשָׂה אֶת-עֹלָתוֹ וְאֶת-עֹלַת הָעָם, וְכִפֶּר בַּעֲדוֹ, וּבְעַד הָעָם.    24 
And he shall bathe his flesh in water in a holy place and put on his other vestments, and come forth, and offer his burnt-offering and the burnt-offering of the people, and make atonement for himself and for the people.

כה  וְאֵת חֵלֶב הַחַטָּאת, יַקְטִיר הַמִּזְבֵּחָה.    25 
And the fat of the sin-offering shall he make smoke upon the altar.

כו  וְהַמְשַׁלֵּחַ אֶת-הַשָּׂעִיר, לַעֲזָאזֵל--יְכַבֵּס בְּגָדָיו, וְרָחַץ אֶת-בְּשָׂרוֹ בַּמָּיִם; וְאַחֲרֵי-כֵן, יָבוֹא אֶל-הַמַּחֲנֶה.    26 
And he that letteth go the goat for Azazel shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he may come into the camp.

כז  וְאֵת פַּר הַחַטָּאת וְאֵת שְׂעִיר הַחַטָּאת, אֲשֶׁר הוּבָא אֶת-דָּמָם לְכַפֵּר בַּקֹּדֶשׁ--יוֹצִיא, אֶל-מִחוּץ לַמַּחֲנֶה; וְשָׂרְפוּ בָאֵשׁ, אֶת-עֹרֹתָם וְאֶת-בְּשָׂרָם וְאֶת-פִּרְשָׁם.    27 
And the bullock of the sin-offering, and the goat of the sin-offering, whose blood was brought in to make atonement in the holy place, shall be carried forth without the camp; 
and they shall burn in the fire their skins, and their flesh, and their dung.

כח  וְהַשֹּׂרֵף אֹתָם--יְכַבֵּס בְּגָדָיו, וְרָחַץ אֶת-בְּשָׂרוֹ בַּמָּיִם; וְאַחֲרֵי-כֵן, יָבוֹא אֶל-הַמַּחֲנֶה.    28 
And he that burneth them shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he may come into the camp.

כט  וְהָיְתָה לָכֶם, לְחֻקַּת עוֹלָם:  בַּחֹדֶשׁ הַשְּׁבִיעִי בֶּעָשׂוֹר לַחֹדֶשׁ תְּעַנּוּ אֶת-נַפְשֹׁתֵיכֶם, וְכָל-מְלָאכָה לֹא תַעֲשׂוּ--הָאֶזְרָח, וְהַגֵּר הַגָּר בְּתוֹכְכֶם.    29 
And it shall be a statute for ever unto you: 
in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, ye shall afflict your souls, and shall do no manner of work, the home-born, or the stranger that sojourneth among you.

ל  כִּי-בַיּוֹם הַזֶּה יְכַפֵּר עֲלֵיכֶם, לְטַהֵר אֶתְכֶם:  מִכֹּל, חַטֹּאתֵיכֶם, לִפְנֵי יְהוָה, תִּטְהָרוּ.    30 
For on this day shall atonement be made for you, to cleanse you; 
from all your sins shall ye be clean before the LORD.

לא  שַׁבַּת שַׁבָּתוֹן הִיא לָכֶם, וְעִנִּיתֶם אֶת-נַפְשֹׁתֵיכֶם--חֻקַּת, עוֹלָם.    31 
It is a sabbath of solemn rest unto you, and ye shall afflict your souls; 
it is a statute for ever.

לב  וְכִפֶּר הַכֹּהֵן אֲשֶׁר-יִמְשַׁח אֹתוֹ, וַאֲשֶׁר יְמַלֵּא אֶת-יָדוֹ, לְכַהֵן, תַּחַת אָבִיו; וְלָבַשׁ אֶת-בִּגְדֵי הַבָּד, בִּגְדֵי הַקֹּדֶשׁ.    32 
And the priest, who shall be anointed and who shall be consecrated to be priest in his father's stead, shall make the atonement, and shall put on the linen garments, even the holy garments.

לג  וְכִפֶּר אֶת-מִקְדַּשׁ הַקֹּדֶשׁ, וְאֶת-אֹהֶל מוֹעֵד וְאֶת-הַמִּזְבֵּחַ יְכַפֵּר; וְעַל הַכֹּהֲנִים וְעַל-כָּל-עַם הַקָּהָל, יְכַפֵּר.    33 
And he shall make atonement for the most holy place, and he shall make atonement for the tent of meeting and for the altar; 
and he shall make atonement for the priests and for all the people of the assembly.

לד  וְהָיְתָה-זֹּאת לָכֶם לְחֻקַּת עוֹלָם, לְכַפֵּר עַל-בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל מִכָּל-חַטֹּאתָם--אַחַת, בַּשָּׁנָה; וַיַּעַשׂ, כַּאֲשֶׁר צִוָּה יְהוָה אֶת-מֹשֶׁה.  {פ}    34 
And this shall be an everlasting statute unto you, to make atonement for the sons of Israel because of all their sins once in the year.' 
And he did as the LORD commanded Moses. {P}
