He is to do to this bull what he did to the bull for the sin offering. He is to do it this way so that the priest will make atonement for them and they will be forgiven.

Then the priest is to make atonement for him in the LORD's presence, and it will be forgiven him regarding whatever he did."

So Moses did just as the LORD had commanded him. He assembled the congregation at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.

What has been done today has been commanded by the LORD to make atonement for you.

So Aaron and his sons did everything that the LORD had commanded through Moses.

But Aaron replied to Moses, "Today they've offered their sin and whole burnt offerings in the LORD's presence. Yet things such as these have happened to me. Had I eaten the sin offering today, would that have pleased the LORD?"

These are unclean for you among the swarming creatures, so anyone who touches them when they're dead becomes unclean until evening.

Furthermore, anything on which they fall when they're dead becomes unclean, whether on an article of wood, clothing, skin, or a sack. And any vessel used for any work is to be washed in water, because it has become unclean until evening.

On the seventh day, the priest is to examine him again. If, in his opinion, the skin rash remained the same and it did not spread, then he is to isolate him for another seven days.

But if the scab did spread in the skin after he presented himself to the priest for cleansing, then he is to show himself a second time to the priest.

When the priest examines him and determines that the scab did, in fact, spread in his skin, then the priest is to pronounce him unclean, since it's an infectious skin disease."

When the priest examines the skin rash on the seventh day and finds that indeed the scab did not spread, there's no yellowish hair on it, and the scales don't appear more extensive than skin deep,

"But if the priest examines it and the infection did not spread on the clothing, either in the woven or knitted material or on anything made of leather,

"He is to slaughter the male goat as a sin offering for the people and bring its blood beyond the curtain and do with its blood as he did with the blood of the bull: He is to sprinkle it on the Mercy Seat that is, over the surface of the Mercy Seat.

This will be a perpetual statute for you as you make atonement once a year for the Israelis on account of all their sins." So Moses did just as the LORD had commanded him.

because the inhabitants of the land did all of these detestable things and by doing so defiled the land before you.

"You are not to make incisions in your flesh on account of the dead nor submit to cuts or tattoos. I am the LORD.

You are not to live by the customs of the nations, whom I've cast away right in front of you. Because they did all of these things, I detested them.

The LORD told Moses, "Speak to the priests, Aaron's sons, and tell them that no priest is to defile himself on account of the dead among his people,

virgin sister (who is a near relative of him and did not have a husband he may defile himself for her).

He is not to come near any dead body whether the deceased is his father or his mother so as not to defile himself.

If one of Aaron's descendants has an infectious skin disease or a discharge, he is not to eat anything sacred until he has been cleansed. Anyone who touches an unclean thing on account of the dead, or who has a seminal discharge,

"These are the LORD's appointed festivals that you are to proclaim as sacred assemblies. Bring offerings made by fire to the LORD a whole burnt offering, a meal offering, a sacrifice, and drink offerings. Do this every day on its assigned date

If a man disfigures his fellow, whatever he did is to be done to him also.

So Moses spoke to the Israelis and they brought the one who cursed outside the camp and stoned him to death with boulders. The Israelis did just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

I'll destroy your high places and cut down your sun pillars. Then I'll cast your dead bodies on top of the bodies of your idols. I'll loathe you.
