Leviticus 16:1-3

New American Standard Bible

Law of Atonement

16 Now the Lord spoke to Moses after ^(A)the death of the two sons of Aaron, when they had approached the presence of the Lord and died. ²The Lord said to Moses:

“Tell your brother Aaron that he shall not enter ^(B)at ^[a]any time into the Holy Place inside the veil, before the ^[b]atoning cover which is on the ark, or he will die; for ^(C)I will appear in the cloud over the ^[c]atoning cover. ³Aaron shall enter the Holy Place with this: with a ^[d]bull as a ^[e]^(D)sin offering and a ram as a burnt offering.
