I pray, O eternal! I have done wrong, I have transgressed, I have sinned before Thee, both I and my house; I pray. O eternal! Forgive, I pray, the iniquities, and the transgressions, and the sins, which I have wrongly committed, and which I have transgressed, and which I have sinned before thee, both I and my house, as it is written in the Law of Moses, Thy servant, For on this day shall atonement be made for you to cleanse you; from all your sins you shall be clean before the Lord.
This prayer was said by Israel's High Priest as part of the Day of Atonement prayers.
