Leviticus 16:12-14
New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
12 He shall take a censer full of coals of fire from the altar before the Lord, and two handfuls of crushed sweet incense, and he shall bring it inside the curtain 13 and put the incense on the fire before the Lord, that the cloud of the incense may cover the mercy seat[a] that is upon the covenant,[b] or he will die. 14 He shall take some of the blood of the bull, and sprinkle it with his finger on the front of the mercy seat,[c] and before the mercy seat[d] he shall sprinkle the blood with his finger seven times.
