The High Priest is instructed to only enter the Holy of Holies
chamber of the sanctuary once a year, on Yom Kippur; and even on this
holiest day of the year, the entry into the Temple's inner sanctum must
be accompanied by a special service and specific offerings which are
detailed in this reading. The High Priest was only permitted to enter
amidst a cloud of burning incense. Also, special white garments were
worn by the High Priest on this day. While offering the day's
sacrifices, the High Priest would "confess" on behalf of the entire
nation, attaining atonement for the past year's sins. This section
continues with a description of the "scapegoat" ceremony procedure.
Paper roll scapegoat
An easy to make scapegoat from paper roll and wool. This child made one was very funny to put together.
