דיוקים מנוסח של ספרדים/ עדות המזרח מופיעים { } בסוגריים מסולסלים.	Selected points from the text of Sefardim/ Edot ha'Mizrach appear in { } curly brackets.
צָעַד וּבָא לוֹ אֵצֶל הַשָּׂעִיר הַמִּשְׁתַּלֵּחַ לַעֲזָאזֵל, לְהִתְוַדּוֹת עָלָיו אַשְׁמַת קְהָלוֹ. וְסָמַךְ שְׁתֵּי יָדָיו עָלָיו וְהִתְוַדָּה.	He walked and came to the he-goat that would be sent to Azazel, to confess thereon the guilt of his congregation. He leaned both hands upon it and confessed.
וְכָךְ הָיָה אוֹמֵר: אָנָּא הַשֵּׁם, חָטְאוּ, עָווּ, פָּשְׁעוּ לְפָנֶיךָ עַמְּךָ בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל. אָנָּא בַשֵּׁם, כַּפֶּר נָא לַחֲטָאִים וְלַעֲוֹנוֹת וְלַפְּשָׁעִים, שֶׁחָטְאוּ וְשֶׁעָווּ וְשֶׁפָּשְׁעוּ לְפָנֶיךָ עַמְּךָ בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל. כַּכָּתוּב בְּתוֹרַת מֹשֶׁה עַבְדֶּךָ מִפִּי כְבוֹדֶךָ: כִּי בַיּוֹם הַזֶּה יְכַפֵּר עֲלֵיכֶם לְטַהֵר אֶתְכֶם מִכֹּל חַטֹּאתֵיכֶם לִפְנֵי ה' --	And he said thus: Please - The Name! They have sinned, been iniquitous, been rebellious before You - Your nation, the House of Yisrael. Please, by The Name, atone please for the sins, iniquities, and rebellions, that they have sinned, been iniquitous and rebellious before You - Your nation, the House of Yisrael. As is written in the Torah of Your servant Moshe, from the mouth of Your Glory, "For on this day he shall atone for you, to purify you; from all of your sins before Hashem -- "
וְהַכֹּהֲנִים וְהָעָם הָעוֹמְדִים בָּעֲזָרָה, כְּשֶׁהָיוּ שׁוֹמְעִים אֶת הַשֵּׁם הַנִּכְבָּד וְהַנּוֹרָא מְפֹרָשׁ יוֹצֵא מִפִּי כֹהֵן גָּדוֹל בִּקְדֻשָּׁה וּבְטָהֳרָה, הָיוּ כּוֹרְעִים וּמִשְׁתַּחֲוִים וְנוֹפְלִים עַל פְּנֵיהֶם, וְאוֹמְרִים: בָּרוּךְ שֵׁם כְּבוֹד מַלְכוּתוֹ לְעוֹלָם וָעֶד:	Whereupon the Kohanim and the people who were standing in the Courtyard, when they heard The Name, honored and glorious, explicit, emerging from the mouth of the Kohen Gadol in holiness and purity, they would kneel, bow, fall upon their faces, and say, "Blessed is the Name of His glorious kingdom, forever and ever!"
וְאַף הוּא הָיָה מִתְכַּוֵּן כְּנֶגֶד הַמְבָרְכִים לִגְמֹר אֶת הַשֵּׁם, וְאוֹמֵר לָהֶם "תִּטְהָרוּ". וְאַתָּה בְּטוּבְךָ מְעוֹרֵר רַחֲמֶיךָ, וְסוֹלֵחַ לַעֲדַת יְשֻׁרוּן.	He too would synchronize against [the people] who were blessing, to complete reciting The Name, and then say to them, "you shall be purified." And You in Your goodness would arouse Your Mercy, and forgive the Assembly of Yeshurun.
קָרָא לְאֶחָד מִן הַכֹּהֲנִים הַמְזֻמָּן מֵאֶתְמוֹל לְהוֹלִיכוֹ, וּמְסָרוֹ לוֹ; וְהוֹלִיכוֹ אֶל אֶרֶץ גְּזֵרָה לְמִדְבָּר שָׁמֵם. וּכְשֶׁהִגִּיעַ לַצּוּק, חוֹלֵק לָשׁוֹן שֶׁל זְהוֹרִית שֶׁבְּקַרְנָיו, חֶצְיוֹ קוֹשֵׁר בְּסֶלַע וְחֶצְיוֹ בֵּין קַרְנָיו. וּדְחָפוֹ בִּשְׁתֵּי יָדָיו לַאֲחוֹרָיו וְהוּא הָיָה מִתְגַּלְגֵּל וְיוֹרֵד, וְלֹא הָיָה מַגִּיעַ לַחֲצִי הָהָר עַד שֶׁנַּעֲשָׂה אֵבָרִים אֵבָרִים. וְאוֹמֵר: כָּךְ יִמָּחוּ עֲוֹנוֹת עַמְּךָ בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל. {וְדַרְכִיּוֹת הָיוּ עוֹשִׂין וּמְנִיפִין בְּסוּדָרִין, כְּדֵי שֶׁיֵּדְעוּ שֶׁהִגִּיעַ שָׂעִיר לַמִּדְבָּר.}	He called for one of the Kohanim, who had been designated the previous day to lead out [the he-goat], and handed it over to him. He led it to an isolated area, a desolate wilderness. When he reached the cliff, he divided the crimson ribbon that was upon its horns, half of which he tied to the rock, and half between its horns. He pushed it backwards with both hands, and it rolled downwards, and even before it reached halfway down the mountain all its limbs were dismembered. He said, "So may the iniquities of Your nation, the house of Yisrael, be blotted out!" {They placed sentinels who would wave flags, to ascertain that the goat had reached the wilderness.}
רָץ לוֹ אֵצֶל הַפָּר וְאֵצֶל הַשָּׂעִיר הַנִּשְׂרָפִים, וּקְרָעָן וְהוֹצִיא אֵמוּרֵיהֶם וּנְתָנָם בְּמֶגֶס לְהַקְטִירָם עַל גַּבֵּי הַמִּזְבֵּחַ. וּבְשָׂרָן קְלָעָן [בְּמִקְלָעוֹת] {כְּמִקְלָעוֹת}, וּמְשַׁלְּחָן בְּיַד אֲחֵרִים לְהוֹצִיאָן לְבֵית הַשְּׂרֵפָה.	He ran to [the carcasses of] the bull and the he-goat that were to be burned. He cut them open and removed the parts designated for offering, and placed them in a vessel for burning up atop the Altar. Their flesh he arranged like twine, and sent them with others to remove them to the place of burning.

שָׁב וּבָא לְעֶזְרַת נָשִׁים אַחַר שֶׁהִגִּיעַ הַשָּׂעִיר לַמִּדְבָּר, וּמְבָרֵךְ בִּרְכַּת הַתּוֹרָה שֶׁלְּפָנֶיהָ, וְקוֹרֵא בְּתוֹרַת כֹּהֲנִים בְּפָרָשַׁת "אַחֲרֵי מוֹת", ו"ְאַךְ בֶּעָשׂוֹר". וְגוֹלֵל הַסֵּפֶר תּוֹרָה וּמַנִּיחוֹ בְּחֵיקוֹ, וְאוֹמֵר: יוֹתֵר מִמַּה שֶּׁקָּרִיתִי לִפְנֵיכֶם כָּתוּב כָּאן. וּבֶעָשׂוֹר שֶׁבְּחֹמֶשׁ הַפְּקוּדִים קוֹרֵא עַל פֶּה. וּמְבָרֵךְ לְאַחֲרֵיהֶם שְׁמֹנֶה בְרָכוֹת: עַל הַתּוֹרָה, וְעַל הָעֲבוֹדָה, וְעַל הַהוֹדָאָה, וְעַל מְחִילַת הֶעָוֹן, וְעַל הַמִּקְדָּשׁ, וְעַל יִשְׂרָאֵל, וְעַל הַכֹּהֲנִים, וְעַל שְׁאָר הַתְּפִלָּה.	He returned and came to the Women's Courtyard, after [receiving word that] the he-goat had reached the wilderness. He would recited the blessing preceding reading the Torah, and read the sections of "Acharei Mos," and "Ach be'Asor," from Sefer Vayikra (16; 23:26-32). He rolled up the Sefer Torah and held it close, and said, ''There is more written here [about Yom Kippur] than what I have read before you;" he would then recite "u've'Asor" from Sefer Bamidbar (29:7-11) by heart. After the reading he would recite eight blessings: over the Torah, the sacrificial service, thanksgiving, pardoning of iniquity, for the Mikdash, Yisrael, the Kohanim, and all other prayer.

טבילה 3 - שעיר בחוץ, אילים, תמיד של בין הערבים	3rd Immersion - The Goat on the Outer Altar, the Rams, the Afternoon Tamid
תִּכֵּן צְעָדָיו וּבָא לְבֵית הַטְּבִילָה, וְקִדֵּשׁ יָדָיו וְרַגְלָיו וּפָשַׁט בִּגְדֵי לָבָן, וְיָרַד וְטָבַל עָלָה וְנִסְתַּפָּג. הֵבִיאוּ לוֹ בִּגְדֵי זָהָב וְלָבַשׁ, וְקִדֵּשׁ יָדָיו וְרַגְלָיו. וְעָשָׂה שָׂעִיר הַנַּעֲשֶׂה בַחוּץ, שֶׁהוּא מִמּוּסַף הַיּוֹם. וְאַחַר כָּךְ מַקְרִיב אֶת אֵילוֹ וְאֶת אֵיל הָעָם, [וּמִנְחָתָם וְנִסְכֵּיהֶם כְּמִשְׁפָּטָם. וּמַקְטִיר הָאֵמוּרִים שֶׁל פַּר וְשָׂעִיר הַנִּשְׂרָפִים.] {וְאַחַר כָּךְ מַקְטִיר אֵמוּרֵי הַחַטָּאוֹת. וְעוֹשֶׂה מִנְחַת שְׁנֵי הָאֵילִים כְּמִשְׁפָּטָן, וְאַחַר כָּךְ הָיָה עוֹשֶׂה נִסְכֵּי כָּל הַמּוּסָפִין כְּמִשְׁפָּטָן.} וְאַחַר כָּךְ מַקְרִיב תָּמִיד שֶׁל בֵּין הָעַרְבַּיִם כְּהִלְכָתוֹ.	With measured steps he went to the place of immersion. He sanctified his hands and feet, and removed the white vestments; he descended and immersed, ascended and dried off. They brought him the golden vestments, which he donned; and he sanctified his hands and feet. He offered the he-goat that was offered outside [of the Sanctuary], which was part of the day's Musaf offerings. Afterwards he offered his ram and the people's ram [as burnt-offerings], (and their meal-offering and wine libations, according to their laws. He offered up the parts designated for offering from the bull and he-goat that were burnt.) / {After this he offered up the parts designated for offering from the sin offerings. He performed the meal-offering of the two rams according to their law; after this he would perform the wine-libation of all of the Musaf offerings, according to their law.} After that, he offered the afternoon Tamid, according to its laws.

טבילה 4 - הוצאת הכף והמחתה	4th Immersion - Removing the Spoon and Fire-Pan
אַחַר כַּלּוֹתוֹ מֵעֲשׂוֹת כָּל אֵלֶּה, עוֹד בָּא לוֹ לְבֵית הַטְּבִילָה, מִהַר וְקִדֵּשׁ יָדָיו וְרַגְלָיו, וּפָשַׁט בִּגְדֵי זָהָב, וְיָרַד וְטָבַל עָלָה וְנִסְתַּפָּג. הֵבִיאוּ לוֹ בִּגְדֵי לָבָן, לָבַשׁ וְקִדֵּשׁ יָדָיו וְרַגְלָיו. נִכְנַס לְבֵית קֹדֶשׁ הַקֳּדָשִׁים לְהוֹצִיא אֶת הַכַּף וְאֶת הַמַּחְתָּה שֶׁהִכְנִיס בְּשַׁחֲרִית.	After he had completed doing all of the above, he once again came to the place of immersion. He hurried and sanctified his hands and feet, and removed the golden vestments; he descended and immersed, ascended and dried off. They brought him white vestments; he donned them, and sanctified his hands and feet. He entered the Holy of Holies to remove the spoon and the fire-pan that he had brought in in the morning.

טבילה 5 - קטורת ונרות	5th Immersion - The Incense and Lamps
וְעוֹד בָּא לוֹ לְבֵית הַטְּבִילָה וְקִדֵּשׁ יָדָיו וְרַגְלָיו, וּפָשַׁט בִּגְדֵי לָבָן, וְיָרַד וְטָבַל עָלָה וְנִסְתַּפָּג. הֵבִיאוּ לוֹ בִּגְדֵי זָהָב, לָבַשׁ וְקִדֵּשׁ יָדָיו וְרַגְלָיו. נִכְנַס לַהֵיכָל לְהַקְטִיר אֶת הַקְּטֹרֶת שֶׁל בֵּין הָעַרְבָּיִם, [וּלְהַדְלִיק אֶת הַנֵּרוֹת כְּבִשְׁאָר יָמִים]. וְיָצָא וְהִקְרִיב מִנְחַת הַתָּמִיד וּמוֹתַר מִנְחַת חֲבִתִּין, וּמְנַסֵּךְ הַיַּיִן בְּכָל כְּלֵי שִׁיר כְּהִלְכָתוֹ. {נִכְנַס לְהַדְלִיק אֶת הַנֵּרוֹת, וְהִשְׁתַּחֲוָה וְיָצָא.} וְקִדֵּשׁ יָדָיו וְרַגְלָיו, וּפָשַׁט בִּגְדֵי זָהָב. הֵבִיאוּ לוֹ בִּגְדֵי עַצְמוֹ וְלָבַשׁ, וּמְלַוִּין אוֹתוֹ עַד בֵּיתוֹ. וְיוֹם טוֹב הָיָה עוֹשֶׂה בְּצֵאתוֹ בְשָׁלוֹם מִן הַקֹּדֶשׁ. אַשְׁרֵי הָעָם שֶׁכָּכָה לּוֹ, אַשְׁרֵי הָעָם שֶׁה' אֱ-לֹקָיו:	He once again came to the place of immersion; he sanctified his hands and feet, and removed the white vestments; he descended and immersed, ascended and dried off. They brought him the golden vestments; he donned them, and sanctified his hands and feet. He entered the Sanctuary to offer up the afternoon incense (and to light the lamps of the Menorah, as on other days). He emerged and offered the meal-offering of the Tamid, and the remainder of the Minchah of Chavitin; he poured the wine libation [while the Levites sang, and played] all types of musical instruments, according to the law. {He entered the Sanctuary to light the lamps of the Menorah; prostrated himself and exited.} He sanctified his hands and feet, and removed the golden vestments. They brought him his own clothing, which he donned, and the people escorted him to his home. The Kohen Gadol would make a festive day upon his emerging in peace from the Sanctuary. "Fortunate is the nation for whom it is thus; fortunate is the nation that Hashem is their G-d!" (Tehilim 144:15).
וּבְכֵן כְּמוֹ שֶׁשָּׁמַעְתָּ תְּפִלַּת כֹּהֵן גָּדוֹל בַּהֵיכָל, כְּמוֹ כֵן מִפִּינוּ תִּשְׁמַע וְתוֹשִׁיעַ.	And so, just as You hearkened unto the Kohen Gadol's prayer in the Sanctuary, so too may You hearken unto [the prayer of] our mouths, and save [us].
