Leviticus 16:1-3
Names of God Bible
The Day for Making Peace with the Lord
16 Yahweh spoke to Moses after Aaron’s two sons had come into Yahweh’s presence and died. 2 Yahweh said, “Tell your brother Aaron that he cannot go into the holy place whenever he wants to. If he goes up to the canopy and stands in front of the throne of mercy on the ark, he will die, because I appear in the smoke above the throne of mercy.
3 “This is what Aaron must do in order to come into the holy place: He must take a bull as an offering for sin and a ram as a burnt offering.
