6 Aaron offrira son taureau expiatoire, et il fera l’expiation pour lui et pour sa maison.

7 Il prendra les deux boucs, et il les placera devant l’Éternel, à l’entrée de la tente d’assignation.

8 Aaron jettera le sort sur les deux boucs, un sort pour l’Éternel et un sort pour Azazel.

10 Et le bouc sur lequel est tombé le sort pour Azazel sera placé vivant devant l’Éternel, afin qu’il serve à faire l’expiation et qu’il soit lâché dans le désert pour Azazel.
