He would enter into the place he had entered
And stand in the place which he had stood
Wash his hands and feet
Immerse, arise, and dry off
He would come from the place whence he came
And go unto the place which he went
Remove his mundane clothes
Put on the white garments
And thus he would say:
Please, O G-d, forgive the sins, the wrongdoings, and the transgressions
which I have sinned before You, I and my household
And if a man could remember
the flaws, the shortcomings
All the transgressions, all the wrongdoings
Thus he would surely count:
One, one and one, one and two
One and three, one and four, one and five
He would quickly despair
Because he wouldn't be able to bear
the bitterness, the sin
The shame, the blunder
The loss
And the Cohanim and the people standing in the courtyard
when they would hear the explicated name [of G-d]
Emanating from the high priest’s mouth
They would kneel, bow down, and fall on their faces
“Blessed be the name of His glorious kingdom forever and ever!”
He would step unto the place where he had stepped
His face turned to the Holy, his back to the Sanctuary
Sinlessly, his mouth and deeds aligned
He would come from the place whence he came
And go unto the place which he went
Remove the white garments
Put on the golden garments
And thus he would say:
Please, O God, forgive the sins, the wrongdoings, and the transgressions
which I have sinned before You, I and my household
And if a man could remember
the graces, the good
All the mercy, all the salvations
Thus he would surely count:
One, one and one, one and two
One of the thousand, thousands of thousands, and myriad myriads
Of miracles and wonders
Which You have done for us
Days and nights
And the Cohanim and the people standing in the courtyard
when they would hear the explicated name [of G-d]
Emanating from the high priest’s mouth
They would kneel, bow down, and fall on their faces
“Blessed be the name of His glorious kingdom forever and ever!”
He would come out of the place where he had come out
And tremble in the place which he stood
Removed his golden garments
Put on his own clothes
And all the people and the priests
would accompany him to his house
and [he made] a day of festivity for his friends
for all of Israel shall be forgiven
Fortunate is the people for whom this is so
Fortunate is the people whose G-d is Hashem
Fortunate is the people for whom this is so
Fortunate is the people whose G-d is Hashem…
As the canopy stretched over those who dwell above - was the appearance of the Cohen
As the lightning emanating from the splendor of the angels - was the appearance of the Cohen
As the image of the rainbow in the midst of the cloud - was the appearance of the Cohen
As the graciousness depicted on the face of a bridegroom- was the appearance of the Cohen
And the Cohanim and the people standing in the courtyard
when they would hear the explicated name [of G-d]
Emanating from the high priest’s mouth
They would kneel, bow down, and fall on their faces
“Blessed be the name of His glorious kingdom forever and ever!”
