The Lord said to Moses:

“Tell your brother Aaron that he shall not enter (A)at any time into the holy place inside the veil, before the [a]mercy seat which is on the ark, or he will die; for (B)I will appear in the cloud over the [b]mercy seat. Aaron shall enter the holy place with this: with a [c]bull for a (C)sin offering and a ram for a burnt offering. He shall put on the (D)holy linen tunic, and the linen undergarments shall be next to his [d]body, and he shall be girded with the linen sash and attired with the linen turban (these are holy garments). Then he shall (E)bathe his [e]body in water and put them on.
