15Then he shall slaughter the goat of the sin offering that is for the people, and bring its blood inside the veil, and do with its blood as he did with the blood of the bull, and sprinkle it on the atonement cover and before the mercy seat.

16Thus he shall make atonement for the sanctuary because of the uncleannesses of the sons of Israel and because of their transgressions, for all their sins; and so he shall do for the tent of meeting that dwells with them in the midst of their uncleannesses.

17And no man shall be in the tent of meeting when he enters to make atonement in the holy place, until he comes out. And he shall make atonement for himself, and for his household, and for all the assembly of Israel.
