Leviticus 16:34

IsraelMoses
Forgiveness

32 The priest who is anointed and ordained to succeed his father as high priest shall make atonement. He will put on the sacred linen garments

33 and make atonement for the Most Holy Place, the Tent of Meeting, and the altar, and for the priests and all the people of the assembly.

This is to be a permanent statute for you, to make atonement once a year for the Israelites because of all their sins.” And all this was done as the LORD had commanded Moses.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
