The chapter prescribes the annual Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur) ritual, detailing the high priest Aaron's step-by-step instructions for entering the Holy of Holies \u2014 including required garments, animal sacrifices, blood sprinkling on the mercy seat, and the burning of incense to create a protective cloud. A distinctive centerpiece is the scapegoat ceremony: Aaron lays hands on a live goat, confesses all Israel's sins over it, and sends it into the wilderness bearing those sins away, while the other goat is sacrificed as a sin offering. The chapter closes by establishing the tenth day of the seventh month as a permanent statute \u2014 a sabbath of rest and self-affliction \u2014 on which this atonement is to be repeated yearly. The juxtaposition of KJV with Strong's numbers alongside the Septuagint Greek makes this a text-critical or comparative study tool, useful for examining translation choices (notably, the KJV \"scapegoat\" versus the LXX's *apopompaios*, \"the one sent away\") rather than a devotional or theological commentary.","tags":["Book of Acts","Greek New Testament","Polyglot Bible"],"text":null,"title":"Polyglot Bible: Leviticus: Leviticus 16","tradition":"Hypertext Bible","translated_text":null,"word_count":3339}
