16:1 (i) And YHWH (יהוה) spake unto Mosheh after the death of the two sons of Aharon, when they offered before YHWH (יהוה), and died;
16:2 And YHWH (יהוה) said unto Mosheh:
Speak unto Aharon thy brother, that he come not at all times into the kadosh [place] within the Paroket (curtain, vail) before the Kapporet (mercy seat), which [is] upon the aron (ark); that he die not: for I will appear (ra ah) in the cloud upon the Kapporet (mercy seat).
16:3 With this (בּזאת) Aharon come into the kadosh [place]: with a young bullock for a chattat (sin offering), and a ram for a Olah.
16:4 He shall put on the Ketonet (כתנת) Bad (בד) Kodesh (קדשׁ), and he shall have the Mikhnesei (מכנסי) Bad (בד) upon his flesh, and shall be girded with a Avnet (אבנט) Bad(בד) , and with the Mitznefet (מצנפת) Bad(בד) shall he be attired:
These [are] Bigdei (בגדי) kadosh(קדשׁ) ; therefore shall he mikvah his flesh in water, and [so] put them on.
16:5 And he shall take of the congregation of the Benai Yisrael two kids of the goats for a chattat (sin offering), and one ram for a Olah.
16:6 And Aharon shall offer his bullock of the chattat , which [is] for himself, and make an atonement for himself, and for his house.
16:7 And he shall take the two goats, and present them before YHWH (יהוה) [at] the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
16:8 And Aharon shall cast lots upon the two goats; one lot for YHWH (יהוה), and the other lot for the Azazel (scapegoat).
16:9 And Aharon shall bring the goat upon which YHWH (יהוה)'S lot fell, and offer him [for] a chattat (sin offering).
16:10 But the goat, on which the lot fell to be the Azazel (scapegoat), shall be presented alive before YHWH (יהוה), to make an atonement with him, [and] to let him go for a Azazel into the wilderness.
16:11 And Aharon shall bring the bullock of the chattat (sin offering),, which [is] for himself, and shall make an atonement for himself, and for his beit, and shall kill the bullock of the chattat (sin offering), which [is] for himself:
16:12 And he shall take a censer full of burning coals of fire from off the altar before YHWH (יהוה), and his hands full of sweet incense beaten small, and bring [it] within the Paroket (curtain, vail):
16:13 And he shall put the incense upon the fire before YHWH (יהוה), that the cloud of the incense may cover the Kapporet that [is] upon the testimony, that he die not:
16:14 And he shall take of the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle [it] with his finger upon the Kapporet (mercy seat) eastward; and before the Kapporet shall he sprinkle of the blood with his finger seven times.
16:15 Then shall he kill the goat of the chattat (sin offering),, that [is] for the people, and bring his blood within the Paroket (curtain, vail), and do with that blood as he did with the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it upon the Kapporet (mercy seat), and before the Kapporet :
16:16 And he shall make an atonement for the kadosh [place], because of the Tum'ah of the Benai Yisrael, and because of their transgressions in all their sins: and so shall he do for the tabernacle of the congregation, that remaineth among them in the midst of their Tum'ah.
16:17 And there shall be no man in the tabernacle of the congregation when he goeth in to make an atonement in the kadosh [place], until he come out, and have made an atonement for himself, and for his household, and for all the congregation Yisrael.
16:18 (LY:ii)
And he shall go out unto the altar that [is] before YHWH (יהוה), and make an atonement for it; and shall take of the blood of the bullock, and of the blood of the goat, and
put [it] upon the horns of the altar round about.
16:19 And he shall sprinkle of the blood upon it with his finger seven times, and purify it, and hallow it from the Tum'ah of the Benai Yisrael.
16:20 And when he hath made an end of reconciling the kadosh [place], and the tabernacle of the congregation, and the altar, he shall bring the live goat:
16:21 And Aharon shall lay both his hands upon the head of the live goat, and confess over him all the iniquities of the Benai Yisrael, and all their transgressions in all their sins, putting them upon the head of the goat, and shall send [him] away by the hand of a fit man into the wilderness:
16:22 And the goat shall bear upon him all their iniquities unto a eretz not inhabited: and he shall let go the goat in the wilderness.
16:23 And Aharon shall come into the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall put off the linen garments, which he put on when he went into the kadosh [place], and shall leave them there:
16:24 And he shall rachatz (wash) his flesh with water in the kadosh place, and put on his garments, and come forth, and offer his Olah, and the Olah of the people, and make an atonement for himself, and for the people.
16:25 (RY:ii, LY:iii)
And the fat of the chattat (sin offering), shall he burn upon the altar.
16:26 And he that let go the goat for the Azazel (scapegoat) shall kabas (wash) his clothes, and rachatz (bathe) his flesh in mayim, and afterward come into the camp.
16:27 And the bullock [for] the chattat (sin offering),, and the goat [for] the chattat (sin offering), whose blood was brought in to make atonement in the kadosh [place], shall [one] carry forth without the camp; and they shall burn in the fire their skins, and their flesh, and their dung.
16:28 And he that burneth them shall kabas (wash) his clothes, and rachatz (bath) his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp.
16:29 And [this] shall be a statute for ever unto you: [that] in the seventh month, on the tenth [day] of the month, ye shall afflict your souls, and do no work at all, [whether it be] one of your own country, or a stranger that sojourneth among you:
16:30 For on that day shall [the Kohen] make an atonement for you, to purify you, [that] ye may be Tahor (clean) from all your sins before YHWH (יהוה).
16:31 It [shall be] a shabbat of rest unto you, and ye shall afflict your souls, by a statute for ever.
16:32 And the Kohen, whom he shall anoint, and whom he shall consecrate to minister in the Kohen's office in his father's stead, shall make the atonement, and shall put on the linen clothes, [erev] the Bigdei haKodesh (Set apart garments):
16:33 And he shall make an atonement for the kadosh mikdash (sanctuary), and he shall make an atonement for the tabernacle of the congregation, and for the altar, and he shall make an atonement for the Kohenim, and for all the people of the congregation.
16:34 And this shall be an everlasting statute unto you, to make an atonement for the Benai Yisrael for all their sins once a year. And he did as YHWH (יהוה) commanded Mosheh.
Acharei Mot means after the death of Nadav and Avihu, Hashem restricts access to His Kadosh presence. Acharei Mot / Kedoshim is a good example of how obedience and forgiveness work together to transform us into the image of Yeshua by giving us the opportunity to repent, and allowing us to serve HaShem in a way that is pleasing to Him.
