Notes
Yoma 3:8 A He came over to his bullock.
B Now his bullock was set between the
Porch and the Altar.
C Its head was to the south and its face
to the west.
D And the priest stands at the east, with
his face to the west.
E And he puts his two hands on it and
states the confession.
F And thus did he say, "O Lord, I have
committed iniquity, transgressed, and sinned before you, I and my
house. O Lord, forgive the iniquities, transgressions, and sins,
which I have done by committing iniquity, transgression, and sin before
you, I and my house.
G "As it is written in the Torah of
Moses, your servant, For on this day shall atonement be made for you to
clean you. From all your sins shall you be clean before the Lord
(Lev. 16:30)."
H And they respond to him, "Blessed is
the name of the glory of his kingdom forever and ever."
