19 E espargirá sobre ele do sangue com seu dedo sete vezes, e o limpará, e o santificará das imundícias dos filhos de Israel.

20 E quando houver acabado de expiar o santuário, e o tabernáculo do testemunho, e o altar, fará chegar o bode macho vivo:

21 E porá Arão ambas as mãos suas sobre a cabeça do bode macho vivo, e confessará sobre ele todas as iniquidades dos filhos de Israel, e todas suas rebeliões, e todos os seus pecados, pondo-os assim sobre a cabeça do bode macho, e o enviará ao deserto por meio de um homem destinado para isto.

22 E aquele bode macho levará sobre si todas as iniquidades deles a terra inabitada: e deixará ir o bode macho pelo deserto.

23 Depois virá Arão ao tabernáculo do testemunho, e se desnudará as vestimentas de linho, que havia vestido para entrar no santuário, e as porá ali.
