16:1 The Lord spoke to Moses after the death of Aaron’s two sons when they approached the presence of the Lord ¹  and died, 16:2 and the Lord said to Moses: “Tell Aaron your brother that he must not enter at any time into the holy place inside the veil-canopy ²  in front of the atonement plate ³  that is on the ark so that he may not die, for I will appear in the cloud over the atonement plate.

16:3 “In this way Aaron is to enter into the sanctuary – with a young bull ⁴  for a sin offering ⁵  and a ram for a burnt offering. ⁶  16:4 He must put on a holy linen tunic, ⁷  linen leggings are to cover his body, ⁸  and he is to wrap himself with a linen sash ⁹  and wrap his head with a linen turban. ¹⁰  They are holy garments, so he must bathe ¹¹  his body in water and put them on.
