¹⁹ Then, with his finger, he will sprinkle some of the blood on the altar seven times to make the altar holy for the Lord and clean from all the sins of the Israelites.

²⁰ “When Aaron has finished making ·the Most Holy Place, the Meeting Tent, and the altar ready for service to the Lord [^Latonement for the Most Holy Place, the Meeting Tent, and the altar], he will offer the living goat. ²¹ He will ·put [lay] both his hands on the head of the living goat [^Ca sign of association of the offerer and the animal], and he will confess over it all the sins and crimes of Israel. In this way Aaron will put the people’s sins on the goat’s head. Then he will send the goat away into the ·desert [wilderness], and a man who has been appointed will lead the goat away.
