Leviticus 16:29 in Context — Leviticus 16

27 On emportera hors du camp le taureau expiatoire et le bouc expiatoire dont on a porté le sang dans le sanctuaire pour faire l’expiation, et l’on brûlera au feu leurs peaux, leur chair et leurs excréments.

28 Celui qui les brûlera lavera ses vêtements, et lavera son corps dans l’eau; après cela, il rentrera dans le camp.

29 C’est ici pour vous une loi perpétuelle: au septième mois, le dixième jour du mois, vous humilierez vos âmes, vous ne ferez aucun ouvrage, ni l’indigène, ni l’étranger qui séjourne au milieu de vous.

30 Car en ce jour on fera l’expiation pour vous, afin de vous purifier: vous serez purifiés de tous vos péchés devant l’Éternel.

31 Ce sera pour vous un sabbat, un jour de repos, et vous humilierez vos âmes. C’est une loi perpétuelle.
