Leviticus 16:1-3

The Day of Cleansing

If he goes in when I appear in a cloud over the ·lid on the Ark [mercy seat; atonement cover], he will die.
3 “This is how Aaron may enter the Most Holy Place: Before he enters, he must offer a bull for a ·sin [or purification; 4:3] offering and a ·male sheep [ram] for a whole burnt offering [1:1–17].
