Reading
Leviticus 16:1—17:16
1The
Lord spoke to Moses after the death of the two sons of Aaron, when
they drew near before the Lord and died, 2and the Lord
said to Moses, “Tell Aaron your brother not to come at any time
into the Holy Place inside the veil, before the mercy seat that is on
the ark, so that he may not die. For I will appear in the cloud over
the mercy seat. 3But in this way Aaron shall come into the
Holy Place: with a bull from the herd for a sin offering and a ram
for a burnt offering. 4He shall put on the holy linen coat
and shall have the linen undergarment on his body, and he shall tie
the linen sash around his waist, and wear the linen turban; these are
the holy garments. He shall bathe his body in water and then put them
on. 5And he shall take from the congregation of the people
of Israel two male goats for a sin offering, and one ram for a burnt
offering.
6“Aaron
shall offer the bull as a sin offering for himself and shall make
atonement for himself and for his house. 7Then he shall
take the two goats and set them before the Lord at the entrance of
the tent of meeting. 8And Aaron shall cast lots over the
two goats, one lot for the Lord and the other lot for Azazel. 9And
Aaron shall present the goat on which the lot fell for the Lord and
use it as a sin offering, 10but the goat on which the lot
fell for Azazel shall be presented alive before the Lord to make
atonement over it, that it may be sent away into the wilderness to
Azazel.
11“Aaron
shall present the bull as a sin offering for himself, and shall make
atonement for himself and for his house. He shall kill the bull as a
sin offering for himself. 12And he shall take a censer
full of coals of fire from the altar before the Lord, and two
handfuls of sweet incense beaten small, and he shall bring it inside
the veil 13and put the incense on the fire before the
Lord, that the cloud of the incense may cover the mercy seat that is
over the testimony, so that he does not die. 14And he
shall take some of the blood of the bull and sprinkle it with his
finger on the front of the mercy seat on the east side, and in front
of the mercy seat he shall sprinkle some of the blood with his finger
seven times.
15“Then
he shall kill the goat of the sin offering that is for the people and
bring its blood inside the veil and do with its blood as he did with
the blood of the bull, sprinkling it over the mercy seat and in front
of the mercy seat. 16Thus he shall make atonement for the
Holy Place, because of the uncleannesses of the people of Israel and
because of their transgressions, all their sins. And so he shall do
for the tent of meeting, which dwells with them in the midst of their
uncleannesses. 17No one may be in the tent of meeting from
the time he enters to make atonement in the Holy Place until he comes
out and has made atonement for himself and for his house and for all
the assembly of Israel. 18Then he shall go out to the
altar that is before the Lord and make atonement for it, and shall
take some of the blood of the bull and some of the blood of the goat,
and put it on the horns of the altar all around. 19And he
shall sprinkle some of the blood on it with his finger seven times,
and cleanse it and consecrate it from the uncleannesses of the people
of Israel.
20“And
when he has made an end of atoning for the Holy Place and the tent of
meeting and the altar, he shall present the live goat. 21And
Aaron shall lay both his hands on the head of the live goat, and
confess over it all the iniquities of the people of Israel, and all
their transgressions, all their sins. And he shall put them on the
head of the goat and send it away into the wilderness by the hand of
a man who is in readiness. 22The goat shall bear all their
iniquities on itself to a remote area, and he shall let the goat go
free in the wilderness.
23“Then
Aaron shall come into the tent of meeting and shall take off the
linen garments that he put on when he went into the Holy Place and
shall leave them there. 24And he shall bathe his body in
water in a holy place and put on his garments and come out and offer
his burnt offering and the burnt offering of the people and make
atonement for himself and for the people. 25And the fat of
the sin offering he shall burn on the altar. 26And he who
lets the goat go to Azazel shall wash his clothes and bathe his body
in water, and afterward he may come into the camp. 27And
the bull for the sin offering and the goat for the sin offering,
whose blood was brought in to make atonement in the Holy Place, shall
be carried outside the camp. Their skin and their flesh and their
dung shall be burned up with fire. 28And he who burns them
shall wash his clothes and bathe his body in water, and afterward he
may come into the camp.
29“And
it shall be a statute to you forever that in the seventh month, on
the tenth day of the month, you shall afflict yourselves and shall do
no work, either the native or the stranger who sojourns among you.
30For on this day shall atonement be made for you to
cleanse you. You shall be clean before the Lord from all your sins.
31It is a Sabbath of solemn rest to you, and you shall
afflict yourselves; it is a statute forever. 32And the
priest who is anointed and consecrated as priest in his father’s
place shall make atonement, wearing the holy linen garments. 33He
shall make atonement for the holy sanctuary, and he shall make
atonement for the tent of meeting and for the altar, and he shall
make atonement for the priests and for all the people of the
assembly. 34And this shall be a statute forever for you,
that atonement may be made for the people of Israel once in the year
because of all their sins.” And Moses did as the Lord commanded
him.
1And
the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2“Speak to Aaron and
his sons and to all the people of Israel and say to them, This is the
thing that the Lord has commanded. 3If any one of the
house of Israel kills an ox or a lamb or a goat in the camp, or kills
it outside the camp, 4and does not bring it to the
entrance of the tent of meeting to offer it as a gift to the Lord in
front of the tabernacle of the Lord, bloodguilt shall be imputed to
that man. He has shed blood, and that man shall be cut off from among
his people. 5This is to the end that the people of Israel
may bring their sacrifices that they sacrifice in the open field,
that they may bring them to the Lord, to the priest at the entrance
of the tent of meeting, and sacrifice them as sacrifices of peace
offerings to the Lord. 6And the priest shall throw the
blood on the altar of the Lord at the entrance of the tent of meeting
and burn the fat for a pleasing aroma to the Lord. 7So
they shall no more sacrifice their sacrifices to goat demons, after
whom they whore. This shall be a statute forever for them throughout
their generations.
8“And
you shall say to them, Any one of the house of Israel, or of the
strangers who sojourn among them, who offers a burnt offering or
sacrifice 9and does not bring it to the entrance of the
tent of meeting to offer it to the Lord, that man shall be cut off
from his people.
10“If
any one of the house of Israel or of the strangers who sojourn among
them eats any blood, I will set my face against that person who eats
blood and will cut him off from among his people. 11For
the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it for you on
the altar to make atonement for your souls, for it is the blood that
makes atonement by the life. 12Therefore I have said to
the people of Israel, No person among you shall eat blood, neither
shall any stranger who sojourns among you eat blood.
13“Any
one also of the people of Israel, or of the strangers who sojourn
among them, who takes in hunting any beast or bird that may be eaten
shall pour out its blood and cover it with earth. 14For
the life of every creature is its blood: its blood is its life.
Therefore I have said to the people of Israel, You shall not eat the
blood of any creature, for the life of every creature is its blood.
Whoever eats it shall be cut off. 15And every person who
eats what dies of itself or what is torn by beasts, whether he is a
native or a sojourner, shall wash his clothes and bathe himself in
water and be unclean until the evening; then he shall be clean. 16But
if he does not wash them or bathe his flesh, he shall bear his
iniquity.”

Collect
O
Lord, our creator, redeemer, and comforter, as we come together to
worship You in spirit and in truth, we humbly pray that You would
open our hearts to the preaching of Your Word so that we may repent
of our sins, believe in Jesus Christ as our only Savior, and grow in
grace and holiness. Hear us for His sake.
Apostles'
Creed
C I
believe in God, the Father Almighty,
maker
of heaven and earth.
And
in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord,
who
was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born
of the virgin Mary,
suffered
under Pontius Pilate,
was
crucified, died and was buried.
He
descended into hell.
The
third day He rose again from the dead.
He
ascended into heaven
and
sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty.
From
thence He will come to judge the living and the dead.
I
believe in the Holy Spirit,
the
holy Christian Church,
the
communion of saints,
the
forgiveness of sins,
the
resurrection of the body,
and
the life T everlasting.
Amen.
The Sixth
Petition
And
lead us not into temptation.
Lead
us not into temptation.
What
does this mean?
God
tempts no one. We pray in this petition that God would guard and keep
us so that the devil, the world, and our sinful nature may not
deceive us or mislead us into false belief, despair, and other great
shame and vice. Although we are attacked by these things, we pray
that we may finally overcome them and win the victory.
Lord's
Prayer
C Our
Father who art in heaven,
hallowed be Thy name,
Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven;
give us this day our daily bread;
and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us;
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever. Amen.
