3.Mose 16 | Bibelen på hverdagsdansk

Forsoningsdagen

1 Siden Herren havde dræbt to af Arons sønner, da de trådte frem for ham uden at følge forskrifterne, sagde han til Moses:

2 „Advar din bror Aron imod at gå ind bag forhænget i helligdommen, hvor arken med forsoningsstedet står. Der er helt bestemte regler for hvornår og hvordan, han skal gå derind, og hvis han overtræder de regler, skal han dø. Jeg er nemlig personligt til stede i skyen over forsoningsstedet.

3 Det følgende er betingelserne for at træde ind i det allerhelligste rum: Aron skal bringe en ung tyr som syndoffer og en vædder som brændoffer.

4 Han skal vaske sig grundigt over hele kroppen og iføre sig den indviede præstedragt: linnedkjortlen, bukserne, bæltet og turbanen.

5 Derpå skal Israels folk bringe ham to gedebukke som syndoffer og en vædder som brændoffer.

6 Den unge tyr skal han ofre til Herren som et syndoffer for sig selv, så han kan skaffe soning for sig selv og sin familie.

7 Han skal føre de to gedebukke frem for Herren ved åbenbaringsteltets indgang

8 og kaste lod for at afgøre, hvilken af dem der skal tilfalde Herren, og hvilken der skal sendes bort.

9 Den gedebuk, der tilfalder Herren, skal Aron ofre som et syndoffer.

10 Den anden buk skal bringes til Herren i levende live og forsoningsritualet skal udføres over den, hvorefter Aron skal slippe den løs i ørkenen, for at den kan være syndebuk for folket.

11 Når Aron har ofret den unge tyr som syndoffer for sig selv og sin familie,

12 skal han tage et røgelseskar, fylde det med glødende trækul fra Herrens alter og sætte det ind bag forhænget. Derefter skal han fylde hænderne med den hellige, vellugtende røgelse, der er knust til pulver,

13 og lægge det på trækullene, så en sky af røgelse skjuler forsoningsstedet over arken, der indeholder stentavlerne med de ti bud. Gør han det, skal han ikke dø.

14 Desuden skal han bringe noget af tyrens blod derind og med fingeren først stænke det på den ende af forsoningsstedet, der vender mod øst, og derefter syv gange foran arken.

15 Så skal han gå ud og ofre folkets syndofferbuk, bringe blodet ind bag forhænget og stænke det på forsoningsstedet og foran det, ligesom han gjorde med tyrens blod.

16 På den måde skal han skaffe soning for det allerhelligste rum, for det er blevet besmittet af Israels folks synder, og samtidig skal han skaffe soning for åbenbaringsteltet, som står midt iblandt dem og er omgivet af deres urenhed.

17 Ingen anden end Aron må opholde sig i åbenbaringsteltet fra det tidspunkt, han går ind i det allerhelligste rum, til han kommer ud igen. Han alene skal forsone sig selv, sin familie og hele Israels folk med Herren.

18 Derefter skal han gå ud til brændofferalteret og rense det ved at smøre noget af blodet fra tyren og gedebukken på alterets horn

19 og med sin finger stænke blodet mod alteret syv gange. Derved renser han alteret for folkets synd og gør det helligt.

20 Når Aron har udført forsoningsritualerne for det allerhelligste rum, åbenbaringsteltet og brændofferalteret, skal han føre den levende buk frem,

21 og han skal lægge begge hænder på dens hoved og bekende al Israels folks synd og oprør over den. På den måde lægger han alle folkets synder på bukkens hoved. Derpå skal bukken føres ud i ørkenen af en mand, som er udvalgt til at gøre det.

22 Bukken skal derefter slippes løs og således bære folkets synder langt ud i ødemarken.

23 Derefter skal Aron gå ind i åbenbaringsteltet igen og tage linnedklæderne af, som han havde på bag forhænget, og han skal efterlade klæderne der.

24 Derpå skal han bade på et indviet sted, tage sit andet tøj på og gå ud og ofre de to væddere som brændofre, så han skaffer soning for sig selv og for dem.

25 Alt fedtet fra syndofferdyrene skal også brændes på alteret.

26 Den mand, som slipper bukken løs i ørkenen, skal umiddelbart efter bade og vaske sit tøj, før han vender tilbage til lejren.

27 Syndoffertyren og syndofferbukken, hvis soningsblod er blevet båret ind i det allerhelligste rum af Aron, skal begge bæres uden for lejren og brændes med hud og hår.

28 Den person, som har ansvaret for at brænde dem, skal derefter bade og vaske sit tøj, før han vender tilbage til lejren.

29 Det her er en permanent lov om forsoningsdagen, som skal gælde både for indfødte israelitter og de fremmede, som bor blandt Israels folk. På denne dag, den tiende dag i den syvende måned, må I ikke udføre noget arbejde, for det skal være en hvile- og fastedag. På den dag skal I forsones med Herren og renses for al jeres synd.

32 Denne forsoningsceremoni skal fremover altid udføres af den ypperstepræst, der er salvet og indviet til dette embede i sin stamfar Arons sted. Han skal iføre sig de hellige linnedklæder

33 og skaffe det allerhelligste rum, åbenbaringsteltet, alteret, præsterne og hele folket soning.

34 Det skal være en permanent lov iblandt jer, at der på forsoningsdagen denne ene gang om året skaffes Israels folk soning for deres synder.” Efter at Herren havde givet Moses alle disse instruktioner, og Moses havde givet dem videre til Aron, udførte Aron det alt sammen.

The Day of Atonement

1 The Lord spoke to Moses after the death of the two sons of Aaron, when they drew near before the Lord and died,

2 and 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.

3 But 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.

4 He 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.

5 And 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.

7 Then he shall take the two goats and set them before the Lord at the entrance of the tent of meeting.

8 And Aaron shall cast lots over the two goats, one lot for the Lord and the other lot for Azazel.*

9 And Aaron shall present the goat on which the lot fell for the Lord and use it as a sin offering,

10 but 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.

12 And 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

13 and 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.

14 And 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.

16 Thus 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.

17 No 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.

18 Then 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.

19 And 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.

21 And 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.

22 The 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.

24 And 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.

25 And the fat of the sin offering he shall burn on the altar.

26 And 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.

27 And 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.

28 And 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.

30 For on this day shall atonement be made for you to cleanse you. You shall be clean before the Lord from all your sins.

31 It is a Sabbath of solemn rest to you, and you shall afflict yourselves; it is a statute forever.

32 And the priest who is anointed and consecrated as priest in his father’s place shall make atonement, wearing the holy linen garments.

33 He 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.

34 And 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 Aaron* did as the Lord commanded Moses.
